It's probably also worth pointing out that the Bengals have spent their last two 1st round picks on O-lineman whilst last year trading for another O-lineman with a top 5 in the team cap number (and trading up again in this year's draft for a 4th lineman). I therefore don't think it's fair to say that they don't value the O-line. I think it's fairer to say they've drafted/recruited badly and that hopefully this year's two recruits go better.

And, what gems they turned out to be..  And they already had Whitworth, who was already willing to keep playing for the Bengals.  Hell, in hindsight, the Bengals would have been much better off had they just admitted the error of drafting Ogbuehi, cutting their losses and paying Whitworth, who is still playing at a high level..

They NEVER use high draft picks on OL.

Or trade for high paid starting O-linemen.

Or sign a free agent LB who led the league in tackles.

Don't you think it just a bit odd, that in a day and age of failing OL coming out of college, that the Cowboys have found the magic secret to picking the right ones?  They spend about the same picks on OL as the Bengals, but their picks have all seemed to develop well, while the Bengals picks continue to flounder.
