Going into the NFL Draft, the Bengals made sure they upgraded their offensive line.
They did so with the addition of Billy Price in Round 1, arguably the top center in the draft and someone that could start from Day 1.
But after Price, the Bengals didn’t take another offensive lineman until Round 7, and that was a developmental prospect in Ole Miss’ Rod Taylor.
It seemed odd that the Bengals didn’t take any other lineman in the earlier rounds, especially since they had chances to take guys like Texas’ Connor Williams, Oregon’s Tyrell Crosby and Mississippi State’s Martinas Rankin.
