this is not a great OT group....but it's much better for the interior O-lineman...
I still want OG Nelson w/ our 1st pick...just doubt he'll be there at 12....
b/c he is the #1 O-lineman in this draft...
pro bowl quality....
he would be a ROCK to anchor our line for the next 6 years....

I feel if he's gone maybe we should pick a LB, DT, or S in rd one.....
if we "have to" go OT pick one in rd #2....
in rd #1 I want a stud.....not just an ok starter...
or if OC Price is there in rd #2 pick him & let Bodine go....
I don't want us to pick an OT just b/c we need one....if the qualitys not there....don't pick one...
I doubt if S James will be there at # 12...

Winning those pointless last two games rewarded Bengals fans with:
- two more years of Marvin
- virtually no shot at Quentin Nelson and/or Roquan Smith
- a far worse second round pick which puts the team far behind anyone who trades up to nab their guy at the front end of the second. If a guy like Billy Price falls to the second the Bengals stand a far greater chance of getting jumped by someone who covets him.

From an organizational standpoint, winning the last two games was a major blow. Get ready for several Hobspin puff pieces touting the greatness of Westerman, Redmond, Bodine, and Boling at LT.
