The fact that they've held this stance for as long as they have is remarkable.  It would make sense if they actually knew how to draft ones that can contribute....

Maybe the 2 go hand in hand. THey have drafted Zeitler in round 1. There were 24 drafts in since the year 2000, and we only drafted 1 OG in first 32 picks and none in firdst 25 picks. It i sno secret draft success is a lot higher in round 1, it is where the largest pool of all pro's come from and each round after, success and great success regress.

The Bengals definitely need to hit at guard in the draft of free agency. But, the biggest need is DE/Edge because Trey is in last year of his contract. To me is second, they need an upgrade of Geno and Stone is also in last year of his contract. If they think a stud pass rushing 2 way DT is available at 17 (they have to consider it).

I think the Bengals will ignore guard until round 3 at the earliest because of other greater needs or BPA.
