I believe we all hope Jonah turns out to be that rock solid LT the team has been missing since Whit left. But it's not a good sign when he yet another Bengals 1st round pick who's "still a rookie" in his second year. The Bengals' 2019 draft class certainly needs a boost and I think we are all hoping Williams can be that guy.

Of all the disappointments from the 2019 Bengals Price was the worst for me.  I really thought his rookie struggles were do to recovering from an injury and not being able to lift in the offseason.  I was not even expecting a big Pro Bowl season, but I was expecting him to play a huge roll in improving our offensive line.  But he just stunk it up.

We got basically nothing from 4 of our last 5 first round draft picks (Williams, Price, Ross, Ogbuehi).  That kills a team like the Bengals who live by the draft.

Yep. Whiffing in the 1st round like that just hurts the team in so many ways.
