Look: Bengals Among NFL's 10 Worst Teams at Drafting/Developing Offensive Line
CINCINNATI — The Bengals have struggled to protect Joe Burrow with free agents and draft picks this decade. They've largely fielded bad offensive lines every season since a great unit lifted the 2015 team to a playoff berth. Gridiron Grading broke down draft capital used vs. NFL production of offensive line picks since 2014, and Cincinnati is among the NFL's worst.
They slot into the bottom 10 of all teams in this metric, which is a mixture of Pro Football Reference's Approximate Value per season and career PFF grading compared to every offensive lineman drafted across that time.
Cincinnati has to figure this out or the offense will never hit its highest heights with Joe Burrow.
