I love Pollack coming here and think hes a BIG difference, however the offensive line is an absolute wreck. And SO FAR in FA with only one pick up, that won't fix this line and most importantly protect Burrow.I wouldn't go as far as saying they "whiffed"....Reif is a starter and good T and getting Spain back is good too. Had they snagged a good G, I think you would not be saying they whiffed . I dont think they are done making moves on OL.
So, then we go into the draft with a huge need to improve the biggest deficit this team has and that stinks because if we addressed this in free agency with more than the Reiff signing we would have more options to pick up players that are best on the board at that time.
You can get Chase, you can get Pitts but if there is no line to protect Burrow and actually allow time for plays to develop its all for nothing.
So, yes there is obviously more than just FA.... but FA is a big part of the formula and Bengals whiffed this year when it comes to addressing the OL. Now they have to address it in the draft and they just limited their options on improving things as a whole for this team.
