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 team 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.
It sounds like you think it's garunteed that a 2nd round OL and beyond is a shoe-in to start over XSF, Price, and Spain. It would've been more garunteed if it was the best OL in the draft. This team needs insta-starters in this high need patchwork OL, not a slow development small upgrade.
