I'll say this....If Paul Alexander can turn Ogbuehi and Fisher into good OTs this year, I'll (somewhat) change my opinion of him. I currently believe he had success with so many first and second rounders because they were already good, he didn't have to do much. Ogbuehi and Fisher needed much work in certain (important) areas when they were drafted. Guess we'll have to see how this goes.

If he can turn them into run blockers, I may slightly change my opinion. With the exception of last year, we generally have decent pass protection. The problem is our philosophy is to run the ball. However, our OLine coach has not been able to make improvements in that department.

Not a major signing, but insurance at RT is a good thing to have. We may see some more of these type of signings trickling in soon. Actually this is a major signing. Ced and Fisher are very young and green and we need the veteran tackle Winston on this team as a leader, teacher and a solid back-up and possible starter if needed due to injuries or youthful failure. .

DO EXPECT a guard draft in early round one or early round two to be as good as the draft year of DeMarco and Zeitler and just plan on him starting right away in place of Zeitler. It may not take him long to be as good or better than Zeitler either. There are some very good O Linemen that can play guard in this draft. Signing Kirky and Lafell rules out CB or WR early. DO EXPECT that top pick guard as Mike Brown can later say, " This is why we did not pay Zeitler to be the highest paid guard in NFL history. THere is a limit to what we will pay a guard, and also Zeitler is not the best guard ever in NFL history ". So scratch out your names at RG because a monster of a top guard pick will become a Bengals next month. Early in round one or round two. If Bengals draft the Alabama LB in one and one of the top 3 guards in round two, that's a good solid draft filling needs areas with best available athletes.

A Trade Down in round one for extra picks and say Guard Forest Lamp who many are comparing to Dallas Guard Zack Martin could be an option. Or a Dan Feeney in round 2. My hunch though is that it will be round 3 or later before they pull the trigger on a Guard unless say they get another 2nd rounder for AJ McCarron. They will probably want to start the season with an experienced Veteran Free Agent signing at Guard unless Paul Alexander is convinced that say TJ Johnson with 32 games played and 1 start is ready after 4 years of developing. I'm with you in rather having sure fire Top Draft choices but Paul Alexander takes Pride in developing later round guys that he believes in. 4th rounder Russell Bodine is a good example. It is the "make chicken salad out of chicken cr@p" approach which can Backfire so I hope you end up being right. With that said a 3rd round Guard can be something good to work with. |
