Guard is the type of position where you can find good starters in the 4th or 5th. However the chances of them being good starters from week 1 are low. Giving them half a season, a year as a back-up is a much better way to go.
I think this has been a big part of the Bengals’ interior problems. Players like Jordan, Volson were chucked in as soon as they showed any promise. This didn’t set them up for long term success.
ps At the moment I think their best O-line will be with Karras at G and Matt Lee at C.
Good points. Scherff would be a good bridge candidate as you say and Matt Lee at Center might be in the cards while moving Ted to LG.
Makes me feel a little better about not getting 2 Guards. Just cannot have Volson or Ford starting, period.
