They are not going to step in and be productive in their first year - just doesn't happen for mid to late round O lineman. The Bengals appear to be in win mode now and will find some experience for depth in September. I'd rather take a cast off with experience than a rookie for a few games on the O line.IMO It would be very difficult to fix as many holes as the B's had/have in one draft unless you are Cleveland and have all the picks yourself. I am satisfied with the left side (barring injury). I also think Pollack will get the most out of the candidates on the right side, or they will be gone. Overall I am uncharacteristically okay with management on this issue as of now. Check with me mid season.
Out of the blue, I wonder if there is a guy loitering in the defensive group that could be coached to play offensive line?
