The Bengals are just awful with no blocking which means no running game, no passing game, few points, quarterback taking extra hits.
Tackle is often most logical pick at #12 in round one and Bengals are in need of a good tackle. Three players stay high on most NFL Prospect Lists be it ESPN, CBS, Walter....Mike McGlinchey of Notre Dame, Orlando Brown of Oklahoma and Kolton Miller of UCLA....I look for one of these 3 to become a Bengal at pick 12 because it's a good safe pick consistent with trying to find a Left Tackle high in Round One and fills a huge need.
Besides Tackle, there are others to watch. Guard- Quenton Nelson of Notre Dame should be drafted by time Bengals pick but if he isn't it raises problem for Bengals. He is considered best blocker in draft but Mike Brown has refused to keep and pay guards Montoya, Steinbach, Zeitler. What's the point in drafting him high just to coach him up and let him go in a couple years ? .....Also at 12 could be Billy Price of Ohio State that is ranked as a top Center but also ranked as a top Guard. Again we run into the problem of Bengals paying him in a couple years. It makes no sense to draft guards and centers if Mike Brown refuses to pay guards and centers.
Five others to watch are guards Will Hernandez of UTEP and Braden Smith of Auburn. Center/ Guard possibles are Frank Ragnow of Arkansas, Bradley Bozeman of Alabama, Isaiah Wynn of Georgia, Ross Pierchbacher of Alabama.
Again, the Bengals have the worst blocking in the NFL. The O Line that started 8-0 in 2015 is long gone. Since Bengals refuse to pay guards and centers, then Left Tackle seems the pick at 12 if you are looking for a player for the next 10 years. Hopefully out of McGlinchey, Brown and Miller they find and pick a Pro Bowl Left Tackle for the next 10 years for Bengals as Munoz or Whitworth and it becomes a great pick. ....Even if they get a good Left Tackle in Round One, they still need more blocking being the worst O Line in NFL. A Second Round pick of a Center/Guard type would help. Billy Price, Frank Ragnow, Bradley Bozeman, Isaiah Wynn, Ross Pierchbacher with the Bengals deciding that if this Second Round pick works out that they will indeed pay this guard or center in a couple years and stop this garbage that Mike Brown refuses to pay guards and centers.
So that's the 10 Offensive Linemen that are at the top of all the different draft lists out there. The Bengals O Line is awful and worst blocking in NFL. They need to go O Line in Rounds ONE and TWO. Get the Left Tackle and then one of these talented Center/ Guard option types and THAT should bring much needed blocking to the worst blocking team in the NFL. Of course Bengals have to learn that when a blocker becomes Pro Bowl type, you have to pay the money and keep such a blocker. To go cheap over and over is just stupid. When blockers become Pro Bowl types, you must pay them.
IF the Bengals in ROUND ONE take either McGlinchey, Brown or Miller at Left Tackle...and in ROUND TWO grab either Price, Ragnow, Bozeman, Wynn or Pierchbacher.....Then they will have brought in much needed blocking talent to address the worst blocking in NFL.
