1. Willie Anderson - HOF caliber
2. Levi Jones - Pro-Bowl caliber
3. Eric Steinbach - Pro-Bowl caliber
4. Andrew Whitworth - HOF Caliber
5. Andre Smith - Solid
6. Kevin Zeltler
It's the one bad stretch that really hurt us - Billy Price in panic mode when Ragnow went off the board and Fisher and Ogbuehi.
7. Jonah Williams - Solid
That's not a bad track record at all.
Hahahaha I’m not even gonna acknowledge the fact that u put Andre smith and solid in the same sentence. Maybe if he was a 6th round pick...But he was every bit of a top 10 bust. I’ll let u get away with calling zietler solid but even that’s a stretch. He was ok. But I remember u saying they are very good at draft good/great offensive lineman and that to me is still stand up comedy. this forum is filled with blind homers lol
Levi Jones was never a pro bowler he may have been good, but not a pro bowler and he dates back to the 2002 draft I think. Steinbach was an alternate in the pro bowl but wasn’t until he was with the browns. So we can even see talent even when they on the team. Willie Anderson dates back to 1996 dude. Trying to make ur point u made mine. Ur trying really hard to bang the table for 4 dudes two in which we’re not pro bowlers they were good in their own right but not pro bowlers and I’ll concede Whitt as I always have and yes of course Willie. In 25 years the bengals have successfully hit on 4 drafted offensive lineman. That’s horrific to say the least. Now just stop it. The bengals are bad bad at drafting offenaive lineman and judging by ur desperate attempt they have seem to get worse and worse up to this point. Jonah Williams is not solid. I saw him get man handled on the biggest stage of his career last week. He’s been an injury hazArd and is still again a massive question mark at left tackle. Whether we pick up his 5th year option is questionable as well and that’s not cuz he’s good or great or even solid it’s cuz they don’t know yet. Now please. I get it u love our bengals we all do but just stop already. They blow at drafting offensive lineman. Find another hill to die on.
