IF you were going to rebuild...what would your plan be?

Exactly on the Owner/GM point. Those teams generally aren't very good.

Our scouting dept is much smaller than the Steelers/Ravens/Patriots. I can tell you that.

The Bengals don't value offensive line positions outside of Tackle. That's interesting on the Pro Bowl statistic.

Yeah, very few in that category.  You could arguably put Kurt Warner in that group.  He had those SB seasons in the beginning and end of his career, but he bounced around and got benched for poor play through the middle.

It's no secret we have the smallest scouting department in the league.  Having the assistant coaches so involved in the process is a double edged sword.  When you have position coaches that are good at evaluating what talent works best for the system, it's great.  When your position coaches aren't good at it, the position group can turn into a black hole where you keep throwing draft picks and FA dollars at it, but it doesn't improve.  Kind of like our current LB issues.

That's arguably the norm around the NFL.  Most teams focus on the T's, as well as having a competent C, which is where we struggled with PA.  If you have that top tier QB that either has the mobility to escape the rush or can make fast decisions and get the ball out quick, you don't really need a stacked OL.
