Fredtoast take on the O-line issue

[BengalChris]

Fred posts a thread that I basically agree with almost 100%. A rare occurrence, so it's worth mentioning.

The team hasn't given up on Ogbuehi yet, but remember that he ended the season on IR with torn rotator cuff. He's going to need a great off season to improve his strength and I personally don't see that happening with that shoulder injury.

Re-signing Whit would be my first priority if I were the GM.

Since Mikey Brown has been in-charge, we've not drafted a center in the early rounds, unlike when his father ran things. Paul Brown valued Centers, Mikey doesn't understand. Jerry Jones does understand. So does Pittsburgh. So whenever you hear someone say we don't value centers there should be an automatic qualifier "Since Mikey Brown took over we haven't valued centers."

Even if we do end up with a good center while Mikey Brown owns the team, I'd be very inclined to attribute that to dumb luck rather than Mikey seeing the need for a good center.
