That's the only Con of drafting the same position in back to back years.
The Bengals have done it before with Anderson and Jones.
I think they would. They value the position and have had their stupid noses rubbed in what happens when you don't have/keep good OL. If they pan out, they'll get extensions, guaranteed. I'd liken it to the post TJ search for a no2 wr and the post Jones-Sanu search for a compliment to AJ. They didn't screw up a 3rd time with Boyd.
Plus, being drafted by the Bengals makes them even more valuable to them. They overvalue anyone that they draft who doesn't play guard.
