Lots of mixed messages here on what fans think we should do.
It seems some of the same ones who claim we should trade all of our old players for draft picks to re-build also think the Bengals were "ignoring the O-line" because they gave Michael Jordan a year to develop at OG. You can't call for a team to "buuild through the draft" and then expect every rookie to step in and play great immediately. other than first round picks it is actually rare for draft picks to step in and flourish as rookies. We all hear about a handful of second or third rounders who do it, but don't realize that an overwhelming majority of them don't. In fact many many draft picks never develop into solid starters. Even the best teams are lucky to get 3 or more future high quality starters from a draft.
