If you're going to run an offense similar to LA, you need a mean-ass RT that will knock some people on their butts in the running game.  Cody Ford appears more than capable of doing just that.  At first, I had some concerns about his pass blocking, from a "scouting report" that I had read.  Since then, I've taken the time to actually watch some film that breaks down what he's doing in each aspect of the game.  Now, I'm fairly convinced that the concerns expressed in the initial scouting report were a bit overblown, or just plain bias on the part of the author of the report.

Right now, I'm still convinced that Ford will be around in the middle of the 1st round.  Come draft night, if the Bengals really want him, I would have no issues if they took him, or even traded back a couple spots and picked up an extra 2nd round pick in the process, to take him.
