And given there was and still is a shortage of good OL in the league the worst case scenario would have been we had too many good OL. One cluster after another compounded the issue. Was it Tobin or Blackburn that was crying about the fans reaction to overpaying for the slug Hart? Whining about 'what else were we supposed to do?". 

The IDEA of drafting 2 OL in 2015 was sound. But the picks were bad so they should have changed their plans quickly. Now we are in the third year of this situation and they still trying to 'slowly rebuild the line'. Outright poor management. 

Two different teams have now let Zietler go, either through FA or trade. Sometimes taking a risk on younger (cheaper) players pays off, sometimes it doesn’t. That’s the business.

Point still stands. Between drafting 4 early round OL, and trading for Glenn, they have tried to address it. So I disagree they don’t “grasp” the importance. Did they handle things the absolute best way possible? Ofc not. It’s the Bengals.
