Karras was an average player. CIN overpaid.No team ever said we were a guard away from winning the SB. OG was a need but not bigger than CB or LB. You can find starting guard in the later round. In fact, the best players on the line are later round player.
Andrews UDFA
Onwenu 6th
Brown 7th
Mason was a 4th
Thuney was a 2nd
Strange will not help us stop Allen and he is not the difference between scoring 17 pts or 30.
It’s a really bad pick. Bill overreached to pick a player at a position that was a need solely because he unecessarily created that need by trading Mason for nothing
Edit: and I would add the hole was also created by letting Karras go over a couple million.
Based on your philosophy we can always get great players in the mid/low rounds. Let's trade out of the 1st, 2nd and 3rd rounds and do that instead.
If you miss in the later rounds thinking you'all always get a starter- which is more probable than not, now we have a massive hole at LG- Mac's blindside.
You can't win SBs with a horseshit o-line.
We disagree on priority.
