Bengals Dominated the Draft

Coach Taylor really hit the nail on the head when he addressed in the post draft news conference. When they had players go down they were not equipped to with a deep enough bench to help overcome it. They made serious moves to correct that situation.

I think they did a fantastic job. Not sexy by any means but a draft that could help for several seasons to come.

There it is.

Aside from Chase, there was nothing "sexy" about this draft.  No CB that ran a 4.3 (but sucked in coverage instincts).  No WR that has the biggest hands in the entire draft (but used them to hold joints).  No QB that can throw the ball in to a trash can from his knees at 65 yards (but can't read a defense to save his life).

This draft had trench warfare written all over it.  Rather than rely on the likes of Tupou and Wren, they will now be fighting it out for a spot.  Ditto the pass rush, the offensive line, and the 4th RB spot.  Sorry, Fat Randy, you were never going to make the team anyway so McPherson will just have to destroy Seibert.

Competition always improves the breed and the Bengals just added a lot of competition at key position groups.
