The Cincinnati Bengals drafting Amarius Mims alleviated any potential internal debate about which tackle to draft. Many connected Mims, the college teammate of Steelers T Broderick Jones, to Pittsburgh, but now they’ll see him in Cincinnati. They themselves got Troy Fautanu, whom it seems they personally rated higher, so time will tell who was right.
While the Steelers are taking their time easing Fautanu into things, the Bengals like what they see in the early goings for Mims. Mims is in no position to start ahead of veteran Trent Brown, anyway. New offensive coordinator Dan Pitcher brushed off the pre-draft concerns many had about him.
