Quenton Spain is OK, but a low end starter (IMO). I'd feel better about him if he is a team leader, or if he could play both OG spots. Pissing off Aaron Donald after a perfectly legal play on Burrow doesn't count as leadership.
I'm OK with picking over the 2nd tier, especially injury-prove-it and older players who see a chance to win with Burrow.
Last year was the year for plug and play OL. This year everybody requires development. Bengals need to go hard in FA; I'd still like to trade 2 firsts for Linderbaum.
We havent had a Center competently lead the oline since when? Braham maybe?
