Taking a look at the stories from the weekend.
+ Anthony Cosenza dives into the discussion of investing half-draft picks on offensive linemen, compared to other teams in the NFL. As it stands right now, based on our own projections, the Bengals will have two first-round draft picks and a second rounder starting the regular season. Travelle Wharton was drafted in the third round of the 2004 NFL draft, but by the Carolina Panthers and not the Bengals. Kyle Cook projects as the only offensive lineman that went through his respective draft without being selected.
