I do think Spain will be better than he was in 2020, based on his previous seasons in Buffalo.
2019 pass blocking grade (633 PB snaps) - 70.4
2018 pass blocking grade (466 PB snaps) - 75.6
2017 pass blocking grade (496 PB snaps) - 74.0
2016 pass blocking grade (463 PB snaps) - 77.6
But the Bengals should draft a couple OL regardless of whether we have faith in Spain, XSF, Hopkins, Reiff, and Williams, as every player behind them on the depth chart currently is a bad pass blocker.
Spain is a sort of mystery to me. He was obviously pretty good in Buffalo for a few years. They gave him a 3 yr $15 million contract and there was some crazy stat about how he had not allowed a sack in a couple of years or some thing like that.
Then last year they just release him. I realize they had brought in some fresh new talent on the O-line, but that contract was reasonable for a solid starter yet they did not try to trade him. Then when he became a free agent this year we re-signed him for league minimum absolute bottom of the barrel $1.1 million.
