Currently, it is elite.....and the skill players are tearing it up with them to help their numbers even more.
Bengals don't use more high draft picks on the O-line than most other NFL teams.
From '06 when we took Whitworth through '14 the Bengals used a grand total of THREE picks in the first 3 rounds of the draft on O-linemen. During that same time the other 31 teams used 143 picks in the first three rounds on O-linemen. So why doesn't every other team in the league have an O-line just as good as the Bengals?
The fact is that the talent on the O-line is elite because Paul Alexander has coached it to that level.
