Einstein Posted January 23, 2023 Share Posted January 23, 2023 In the 2022 offseason, the Bengals signed 3 offensive linemen that range between “good” and “stud” level in Collins, Kappa and Karras. All under 29 years old. The Bills signed 2 retread offensive linemen in Quessenberry (32) and Saffold (34). In the 2020 and 2021 drafts combined, the Bengals drafted stud WR Jamar Chase (1st round), good WR Tee Higgins (2nd round), and three offensive linemen. Our highest pick at offensive playmaker in that time was Gabe Davis in the 4th round. Benglas value playmakers and linemen. And they have signed/drafted with that value in mind. I hope we follow suit. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KDIGGZ Posted January 23, 2023 Share Posted January 23, 2023 No we have to keep drafting DL in the first 2 rounds so that they can do absolutely nothing vs a backup OL 1 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Einstein Posted January 23, 2023 Author Share Posted January 23, 2023 Signing ancient players like Emmanuel Sanders and John Brown are not playmakers type moves either. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Note that the Bengals had some premium picks too to get Burrow and elite WR1 and WR2 positions. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

streetkings01 Posted January 23, 2023 Share Posted January 23, 2023 This offense needs 2 receivers(#2/future #1 and a guy to move Davis to the 4th option. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Low Positive Posted January 23, 2023 Share Posted January 23, 2023 The Bengals went from 2-14 to the SB in two off seasons. We are in year 5. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They went 2-14 because they lost Burrow for the year, and that high pick then turned into Chase. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Punch Posted January 23, 2023 Share Posted January 23, 2023 9 minutes ago, Einstein said: And linemen. At the very least a LG and RT plus better depth. Dawkins, Morse and Bates may not be elite but they’ll look a lot better if the other 2 spots are improved. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then they had the great fortune to lose Burrow and go 4-12 to injury to get that high pick in the 2021 draft. But the rebuild was absurdly fast. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
