Since the Bengals use coaches to scout I'd assume his recommendations carried weight in the draft room and when considering FA's. I put those choices on Paul Alexander and their failure to develop upon him and his staff.
The front office obviously realizes how important the o-line is. They just can't pick the right players. With the resources we have spent on it we should have a very good O-line right now.
To me this is their first season where they've(coaches) had as much time as any NFL team to make their evaluations of picks and FA's.
