Based on the limited snaps I saw in preseason and what I saw of him in college, I think he's probably the best C the Bengals have drafted in quite some time.
I especially like his pass blocking.
Also, maybe not crap on 6th/7th round Centers, as Karras was a 6th rounder.
Miami starting C was a UDFA.
Chicago starting C was a UDFA.
Denver starting C was a 7th rounder.
Sometimes good players do end up coming from that late. It's not often, but it happens. You know this.
And I'm not saying I 100% am confident in Matt Lee being the answer at C, but I'd like to see him get some snaps if/when the Bengals get eliminated from playoffs.
At that point, nothing trying to play for the current season. It's all about seeing what you got and developing going into next.
Zac Taylor 2019-2020: 6 total wins
Zac Taylor 2021-2022: Double-digit wins each season, plus 5 postseason wins
Zac Taylor 2023: 9 wins despite losing Burrow half the season
Zac Taylor 2024: Started 1-4. If he can turn this into a playoff appearance, it will be impressive.
