Either way, I hope the Bengals add a depth piece because there is no guarantee an OL can be had at pick 18 (although it appears the Bengals might luck out based on how the draft plays out and the OL talent available).
It's a mystery to me why the Bengals have not been linked to Trent Brown, given he is so talented. He gave up 3 sacks last year, and 2 penalties, in 579 snaps (80.2 PFF grade), whereas Mekhi Becton, whom the Bengals have been linked to, gave up 12 sacks and 18 penalties in 985 snaps (53.2 PFF grade). All that I can think of is either the Bengals can't reach his contract demands or the concern about his paranoid-like complaints about the Patriots organization. Of course, it is not paranoia if they were actually out to get him.
