Bengals don't have a chance (or want to pay the price) to sign a proven good FA OL like Castonzo or Bulaga.
Because of that, they choose to look to the draft once again.
Knowing they desperately need OL help, they skip QB in the 1st round and take Andrew Thomas.
They then take a QB in the second round like they did with Dalton (or trade up into the back of the 1st to get that option year).
You're not going to like this but I think the scenario is....
They look at this as a bad break but a learning experience for young guys.
They signed Miller and Hart because they were young and wanted a young line to keep together.
They drafted Jordan with the expectation that he'd become a starter eventually.
Jonah Williams will be the LT anchor for a decade and Hopkins is entrenched as the Center.
They draft a QB in the 1st and stick him behind the exact same line.
