The Top Pick was injured out of college. He must be good because teams don't normally draft a guy they have to wait a year for. Then there is the other tackle we did see some of....This should help muscle up our O Line. If both pan out, that is huge.....Very interested in seeing how they come along for Bengals....Blocking and Tackling, you can not win without it.

In case you didn't know it was Cedric ogbuehi we picked first who played at around game 12? He looked good and the second tackle was jake fisher who is not learning every offensive line position so he is very versatile we drafted ogbuehi to replace whitworth bc we didn't think he would still be playing at such a high level still so he is gonna take Andre smiths spot at right tackle but it works out bc if we lose bodine 2 things can happen whitworth can switch to guard ogbuehi can switch to left tackle and fisher can switch to right tackle or fisher just takes bodine spot either way we're golden

I was a fan of both picks. So far, it's been working out nicely. The whining was ridiculous.

Jake Fisher played great as a rookie and Ogbuehi flashed greatness in limited snaps.
Really excited about both of these guys especially Ogbuehi who could of been a top 5 pick prior to his injury, tons of athleticism
for an OT that big. Should be Whit's replacement on down the road with his feet but should play very good at RT this year in the
passing game. The running game is my only question with Og right now but he flashed great even there last season late.

Would be great if they both pan out for Bengals.
Would love having a top O-line in NFL.

Hopefully one of them can fill Big Whit's shoes after he retires. Also would be cool to add another amazing tackle to the list of great Bengals.

Glad to find out Ogbuehi missed time in OTAs for a sports hernia operation and it was the knee or anything more serious.

Time for these picks to start paying dividends.
