Reminds me of Jake Fisher 2 years ago when Ogbuehi was god awful at right tackle.  I used to think to myself “Fisher a 2nd round pick in year 2 can’t be worse then Ogbuehi or Winston , right “ ?  well we found out why Fisher wasn’t playing by watching him this year because he’s an turnstile at Right tackle.  Also I feel like Bengal fans , myself included overhype every draft pick in part because the Bengals don’t sign free agents so we as fans have to hope that all these later round picks will work out an be the next draft steal like Geno Atkins or Marvin Jones. We overhype guys like PJ Dawson as the next Burfit or Billings as a stud DT or Cody Core etc. Westermen was drafted in the fifth round for a reason Probably because he’s not that great. This team hasn’t drafted well the last few years especially linemen maybe Alexander is part of the problem or maybe Westermen just stinks.

Have to disagree with lots in this post. First off, pretty unfair to judge Fisher this year with his health scare. Fisher was a
very versatile LT at Oregon that had great feet. He was projected earlier than we got him in tons of mock drafts. In his first
year Fisher was moved all over the damn place, LT, RT, frickin FB...

Dawson was great in college, the coaches said he didn't practice well and didn't play him. Some players just need to go out
on the field and play football. The coaches might of hindered him and Haslett has been a shitty LB'er coach to say the least.

Billings is coming off an ACL tear similar to Geno's when he didn't play well the year after.

Your point about there is a reason a player gets drafted where he does is proven every year to be false.

There is a reason Tom Brady was drafted in the 6th round man and Burfict went undrafted.

At some point coaches need to be able to coach players up. 

Sounds like a lot of excuses for poor coaching to me...

.... you ever seen Bach or Mozart throw a tree? I didn't think so. 

Yeah, no more girly piano playing O-lineman, had enough of this shit.
