The Bengals need to shift their thinking with the changing NFL. Tackle used to be the most important positions on the offensive line...but Guard has caught up with all the pulling and different schemes that teams run.
There is a weird thing about the draft philosophy that the Bengals use and then retaining their own. Say you draft every position on offense in a Year. Say 2 WR's turn into stars and a C. They then keep these players. They get a big 2nd contract. Your roster composition may be heavily bloated in several positions financially and really thin in others. It may be better to allow some of these guys to leave in order to have a well balanced roster.
