Last year there was an absolute need to draft Burrow at QB and Higgins at WR with picks 1 and 2. This year, we know Chase was pick 1. The Bengals could very well add multiple OL before this draft ends; therefore, they would be building from the inside out while also addressing other needs. The round a player is picked doesn't equate to an inside out or outside in strategy.
The other harsh reality is this teams has so many positional needs that the '21 draft alone isn't going to fix it. Now, if the '21 draft ends and no OL are picked, then you might be onto something.
Green Bay had one of the best lines in football last year their guys were picked in the 4th, 3rd, 5th, Undrafted, 5th (bonus: their swing guy was a 3rd). You get your guys wherever they are, you don't have to take them all in the 1st to be good.
