Bengals Dominated the Draft

[Joelist]

I'm not sure anyone can ever be said to dominate a draft, because ultimately the question is whether the team accomplished its objectives and if those objectives align to the common goal of creating a winning football team.

Now with the Bengals draft, it has one "flash" player and of the other 9 7 are linemen (OL or DL). This is the definition of a "trench" or meat and potatoes draft. And to be honest the Bengals have needed such a draft probably since 2017 at the latest. We reloaded the LB room last offseason and this offseason reloaded both the OL and DL rooms. Also in Free Agency they retooled the secondary so that we don't need to be seeing LeShaun Sims out there as a starter. I have to give credit where it is due - they identified lack of depth as a big problem and went out and addressed it.
