I like better the idea that they feel one of the existing options, such as Kirkland, can do the job and they possibly can work in a rookie draft pick. But having as a plan to depend on an as-yet-not-picked draft pick to be the starter and protect Burrow sounds like a really bad, bad idea.

I don't think the Bengals will annoint a OL pick a starter day 1. He would still need to win the job. The chiefs drafte Smith with a 6th round pick years ago, he started immediately and has progressed to a great RG.

I would hope Booker, Milum or Jackson could emerge as a day 1 starter.
