And to those who want to draft Pitts or Chase or anyone that isn't an offensive lineman... you aren't going to like it.
“The Bengals need to focus on keeping (Joe Burrow) protected. They shouldn’t sign or draft any skill players. It should be offensive linemen in the draft (and) offensive linemen in free agency, because you can find a receiver in the third, fourth or fifth round. If the protection is there, Joe is gonna get you the ball.”
The man knows football and as a former 7th round pick, he is a perfect example of why you can't waste the 1st rounder on a skill position when you don't have 5 great starters on the O-line. Sewell, Slater or Darrisaw, one of them will be there at 5 and one of them needs to be the pick.

Well he definitely isn't wrong. I would love to get either Sewell or Darrisaw at 5. Slater concerns me though strength wise.
I still would take Pitts in an instant especially if we signed say Daryl Williams and Alex Mack in FA.
Also need to beef up the DL and get pass rushers.
