Andrew Whitworth w/Rams: 3yr/$33.75m (Pro Bowl & 1st Team All-Pro in his first year so far.)

vs

Cedric Ogbuehi: 21st Overall Pick + $9.325m (The worst OL player I have ever seen.)
+
Cordy Glenn: 9 spots lower in the 1st round + $30m (Pretty bad LT.)

So to recap... the Bengals had an All-Pro LT/All-Pro Human Being, and instead chose to waste 1 first round pick, drop down lower in another first round pick, AND spend ~$5.5m MORE than Whitworth got, all in order to have some of the most pathetic LT play we have seen in ages.

Brilliant!

Hindsight is great, but if it had worked out the way it was planned, we would've saved money and found our next LT for the next 10-14 years.
But it just didn't happen that way. It was a gamble. Whit's a human as well, he's going to break down sooner or later and what's to say if he had stayed here he would've remained healthy?? 

we can still recover via FA, but MB needs to stop worrying about Comp picks and just get a bunch of guys signed.
