When you have your franchise quarterback, or at least you think you do, you have to make sure you have at least two other things along with him: people to throw the ball to, and people to protect him. The Cincinnati Bengals had a tough decision to make with the fifth-overall pick back in April over which to prioritize, and they ultimately went with the former, adding Joe Burrow’s college teammate, wide receiver Ja’Marr Chase.
That left tackle Penei Sewell still on the table, and he predictably didn’t last long. But that means the Bengals are still moving ahead with Jonah Williams as Burrow’s blindside protector, a former first-round pick who has a lot left to prove.
