Eh, Housh goes nutz every once in a while. In the end for the most part we draft very well. Especially in the Zac/Lou era.
We trade up and get players like CTB and we miss on others like Robbins. Clean this shit up is I think what we all ask.

I wonder why Braswell and Issac are falling. Both are good players and solid dudes

Georgia and Michigan are two great programs to draft players from. Both selections seem to have great character, strength and talent. Great job so far. Two needs checked and they were BPA I think.

Wouldn't mind seeing Theo Johnson or Audric Estime in 3. Seems like the right value. Or double dip at OL.

No need to overreact to a threat form a player with two years left. Is he really going to retire if he wants security/more $.
Also, Bengals took a DE in round 1 last year so (if needed) he would be Treys replacement.

The best run stopping Defenses in the NFL don't have monster NT's. Strength is what is needed over fat ass ***** like Sweat.
I don't know man, that sounds like one of those things that are all fine and dandy to say now, until he gets doubled teamed by 305lb Tyler Linderbaum and 370lb Ben Cleveland in front of 305lb Patrick Ricard and 250lb Derrick Henry twice next year.
The NFCN is not the AFCN. Reader bringing bulk seemed to work pretty well here.

And I actually like CTB. Just saying this stuff is obviously a bit difficult as some a great number of players get drafted high and just were not worth it. Not a Bengals only thing. More picks may get us past some of it. My end up with a Drew Sample or Ryan Finely, but may also get a TJ Houshmandzadeh. Sometimes being lucky can beat being good.

Well glad we didn’t wait on tackle. I didn’t think Fisher would actually last until our 3rd rounder

Some of the highlights they show from college are comical. They showed Braswell from Alabama and on 2 or 3 of those clips he was blocked and just bad QB play caused him to get sacks (QB running right into him or not moving up in the pocket)
Not saying he won’t be good but I find some of the highlights they show to be underwhelming.

Nah, not me. I can talk trash about the FO plenty, but I do think they are actually trying and believe in their methods working.
