Just asking because I'm sure we'll be drafting a tackle next year to replace Reiff because if this offense keeps performing the way it is we'll be drafting in the Top 10 and potentially Top 5 of the draft again in 2022.
I just want to know we are going to be waiting for 2 or 3 seasons and hoping and praying our draft picks from this season work out because they've hit on 1 OL draft pick in 7 years and Jonah really hasn't proven himself to be a Pro Bowl tackle quite yet.
1. You can't argue that this team is horrible based on just two games and at the same time claim we can't judge Johah Williams based on his good play against top pass rushers.
2. The draft picks we are counting on are from this year. They should be ready by next year.
3. We may not have to use our #1 pick next season. In the past 3 years the Bengals have traded for a starting OT and signed multiple other O-linemen with starting experience including the 10th highest paid RT.
