In Round 1 of the NFL Draft, the Bengals immediately addressed the biggest weakness on the team and selected Ohio State University center Billy Price.
The offensive line has been an area of the team that the coaches acknowledged had to be improved this offseason and Price’s addition coupled with the team trading for left tackle Cordy Glenn were big upgrades.
But after making Price the 21st overall pick in the draft, the Bengals waited until pick No. 252 to select another offensive lineman. That pick is Ole Miss Rebels offensive lineman Rod Taylor who joined the team in the seventh round.
