Drafting two time First-team All-SEC offensive lineman Jonah Williams with their first round pick filled a need for the Bengals. Whether it was Andy Dalton or Jeff Driskel, the Bengals quarterback was on his back way too much last year.
Williams, fellow draft pick Michael Jordan, and free agent signing John Miller all could play big roles in changing that.
With Williams specifically, the word versatility keeps coming up when the coaching staff talks about him. However, They need to be very careful with him as a rookie.
That does not mean sitting him on the bench for a year Williams is too good a prospect and last year’s offensive line play was too bad for that.
