They should have done something else but that doesn't mean they should have traded up. That would have probably cost a third round pick (we picked Sam Hubbard in the 3rd) to have moved up.
Plan B should have been to look at another position rather than reach for the third best center prospect.
If we're using hindsight the correct option would be to have drafted Lamar Jackson instead and play Trey Hopkins at C. As I said, at the time I was in favor of us drafting Wynn (IMO a potential future LT) and felt C could be addressed later.
(Also the Bengals weren't inactive - they traded down to 21st prior to the draft because they thought McGlinchley would be gone at 12 (he was, he went 9) to acquire Glenn and put themselves in the right area for Ragnow. Picking him at 12 would have been too high.)
