They were piecing together their SB run. We had OogieBoogie "expected" to take over. Had the Bengals needed to draft a LT THAT draft, I would expect they would have tried much harder to retain him. Hindsight, yeah it sucks they let him get away but you can't fault them for moving on because they felt it was time. I think it hurts Bengals fans more because Cedric sucked so bad. Had he been a worthy 1RP, and played up to his draft position, we probably wouldn't still be talking about this.

People also never point out that the line was pretty damn bad with Whitworth in 2016. That Bengals team was in decline, and that decline was gonna continue with or without Andrew Whitworth. They prepared for life after him at LT, it didn't work, and that's that... 7 years ago.
