David DeCastro played his entire 9 year career for the Steelers.
Zeitler is still playing at a high level after 13 years in the league and was commonly looked at as a mistake to not re-up. But he's the type of guy you would look at spending a 1st on and serving as an anchor on the OL for a decade plus.
10+ years may be overstating, but there is definitely an expectation that you will have them through their 2nd contract at least.
Bolling was a 4th round pick and not really anything more than a solid starter. I don't see how he really applies.
It you don't think the Bengals are thinking about second contracts when they draft guys, then why are you arguing for Jackson? After all, the team almost never spends a 1st on G's. In fact, it's a rarity for anyone to.
It is different if it is a Guard that can also play Left Tackle though. That makes the pick much more valuable.
