The Cincinnati Bengals are excited about getting their first-round pick on the field for the first time. While that applies to rookie Joe Burrow as much as anybody, though, in this instance I’m talking about Jonah Williams. He was the first-ever draft pick for head coach Zac Taylor last year, and was seen as a plug-and-play left tackle, but he suffered a season-ending injury in the offseason and missed his entire rookie year.
While there have been many problems ailing the Bengals over the past few years in all phases of the game, the erosion of the offensive line, with the losses of players like Andrew Whitworth and Kevin Zeitler, were huge, and to date, they still haven’t been replaced.
