This is where actually scouting players well, comes into play.  With so many OL coming from colleges that run option offenses, it's hard to know if those players are going to translate well.  It would seem to me that paying particular attention to players from "traditional" or Pro-style offenses is where the smart money should get put down.  You want guys that are very physical, experienced run blockers, guys that have demonstrated the ability to hold a block for 3-4 seconds in passing plays.

And this is where the Bengals are lacking somewhat because they have one of, if not the, smallest scouting departments in the league. I'm sure the Bengals have quality scouts but 5 scouts can't physically scout as many prospects as 10 scouts for example.
