Most good Left Tackles are Top Picks. ....However if they take Price in Round One, I can see that IF they are willing to PAY HIM when he becomes veteran status and none of this Mike Brown Don't Pay Guards And Centers garbage. .....I would love the luxury of a top linebacker but really our defense is much better than our blocking. Having the worst blocking in NFL means only 3 or 4 wins but it also means the quarterback and running backs get injured. ...I can't see D in Round One at all, but I can see Price over Left Tackle. Problem is we are not going to find a good Left Tackle after Round One, but we could find a good Center/ Guard after Round One. I think we can get good D help after we draft a couple blockers. The good Left Tackles always go fast in the draft and on everybody's radar. .....WE DIDN'T ADDRESS LOSING WHITWORTH or ZEITLER in 2017 Draft and 2018 Draft DEMANDS IT.
Plenty of depth in the oline this year if we went on the defense side first.
I know we need a tackle. I just haven’t concluded there is value there at 12.
I could see Price and Boling at Left Tackle maybe. He would have to if we don't draft Left Tackle. NFL people are saying Price is a rare player, I can see adding Price.....I can't see Round One defense when we have the worst O Line in NFL.......NFL SCOUTS are SOLD on PRICE. Price could be a Pro Bowl Center for 10 years in NFL. I'm all for that.
So I'm with you on Price at #12. He is about the only one that I would pass on Left Tackle for. We have to get a Munoz on the line, somebody out of college the scouts see Pro Bowl O Line for year to come, be it Left Tackle, Center, Guard, we need to come out of Round One with a Future Pro Bowl O Lineman and possible Hall Of Fame to bring Blocking Back To Bengals. Of course If Price is this good, Mike Brown will have to change his attitude about what centers get paid.
