I see the upside from drafting those particular 3 players, likely in about 2-3 years..  I really like the Reiff signing, but it lost a bit of thunder when I saw it was a one-year cheapo deal.  The way I'm seeing things, the Bengals are still going to be in the OL market next season, as well, depending on weather Jonah Williams can stay healthy and put it together this season.

I agree the pieces need to fall in place on Oline but flip side we have loaded up WR and solid at RB for Burrow so it's really up to Burrow to perform at level of 1st pick in draft , if two years in a row Herbert outshines Burrow that will stink.

Generally speaking, which strategy typically yields better results?

You guys just don't get it.

Chargers already had a top 10 defense.  Chargers did not lose two free agents that got over $13 million a year.

Of course it was much easier for them to spend more on the O-line.  They were in a completely different position than the Bengals.

It cracks me up when people suggest that we should have spent everything on O-line because we did not have any needs anywhere else on the roster.

I never said spent everything and draft has zero to do with $$ ..my point is we had opportunities to do more and I felt we did not and the Chargers did much more and outside of Lindsey they did not break the bank on Oline..
