Good point. Cedric Ogbuehi, Jake Fisher, Billy Price, and Jonah Williams were all highly considered in college and projected to go early in the years they were drafted. Jonah Williams is serviceable but he’s no Andrew Whitworth, Billy Price had some good games but never got consistent, Jake Fisher never panned out and Cedric Ogbuehi didn’t seem to adjust to the NFL.
Now we’re back to square one with the offensive line again. The line IS better but it’s not playoff caliber; not even close. I’m not even sure having Penei Sewell would help at this point because he’s just one guy. He’s going to be great in the future but the Bengals needed offensive line help RIGHT NOW.
