They don't have an offensive line but neither did we and went to a SB.
I'm a die hard Bengals fan but we have to look at everything!
WHO IS OUR LG?
This division is brutal!
Ravens had a haul for the ages?!?! Wow talk about going overboard. Even if they did, it won’t help them much this year. Ojabo likely out the season and even if he came back he wouldn’t be the same player he was before injury. Their S dropped for a reason, I wouldn’t want a slow safety going up against Chase. As Bobjones said, they gave up Hollywood from an already mediocre WR group and got Linderbaum in exchange to replace Bozeman who was far from a liability for them. Even if he comes in and plays great it’s not like they turned a weakness into a strength compared to last year. Linderbaum also dropped for a reason, there are real concerns about his chances at the next level whether fans on this forum who fell in love with him will admit it or not. WR’s are trash, Bateman could be good but can’t do it all himself.
The first CB they drafted should be in a protective bubble to keep him from getting hurt. They got two nice TE’s but both will need time and neither will be stealing any snaps from their TE1 Andrews this season. I really like Kolar, he could be a steal but again it won’t happen overnight. They also added a backup OT and a punter. Even if they get some steals they won’t see much immediate help this season from the draft.
The browns had the best o line/running game with Tretter who is gone. They had that with a better WR corps. If Watson comes in throwing the ball all over to Copper and the rest of the WR group made up of nobodies it will eat into their rushing attack as well. That’s if Watson isn’t suspended. If he is they have no passing game and a worse rushing attack AND potentially Baker Mayfield being a cancer (and who could blame him if they don’t cut/trade him)
The Steelers got rolled by us twice when we had a bad o line and they had Big Ben. As bad as he was, they haven’t upgraded the QB spot one bit and I’d say it’s even worse now.
