Bengals brought in Nick Scott at 3 years, $12 mill ($4 mill APY), only for him to get supplanted by a 3rd round rookie.
That essentially became wasted money that could have gone toward another position.
Eluemunor just played on a $3 mill contract.
You ok with spending $3-6 mill APY for someone to potentially ride the bench for a year or two?
Or if the 18th pick doesn't actually start their first year or two, are you ok with a 1st rounder playing very little to no snaps their first year or two?

I am absolutely ok with spending whatever it takes to ensure the oline is solid. I will never complain that we overspent out of caution to improve the oline. A rookie is a big risk, but I absolutely would love to draft one. We can easily do what we did with Scott, which is give the guaranteed money in the signing bonus and the vet be a cut option the next year. Having rookies excel, regardless of their draft round is the ultimate luxury for every team. They are younger and cheaper.
