I keep hearing this – “Bengals don’t value Guards”. Well we valued the position enough to spend a FIRST ROUND PICK on one! And then we let him walk when he’s in his prime in the hope we get a 3rd or 4th round comp pick for him?! I may not be as clued up in the nuances of the NFL but I think that deserves a “WTF”! Some will argue that the increase in interior pass rushers, your Geno Atkins, Aaron Donald’s and other 3 technique pass rushers, the importance of having a complimentary run game, make the Guard position crucial.
