The Bengals' best OLs were ones where they had homegrown talent at most positions (primarily OT) and added 1-2 mid-tier-priced FAs to round out the OL.
Bengals finally went (somewhat) out of the norm this past offseason by bringing in Cappa, Karras, and Collins. I say somewhat only because Cappa and Karras weren't overly expensive or considered top IOL. But they're good, no doubt.

I'm hopeful that this newly-formed OL will be good, but it still would have been cool to see the likes of Linsley or Thuney signed last offseason.
