I'm nowhere near a Marvin apologist as anyone on this board can attest, but outside of sucking enough to get really really high can't-miss 1st round draft picks a couple years, they haven't drafted crazy well in the Zac Taylor era.
The biggest difference between the Marvin and Taylor era is that the FO is willing to spend money in FA. 11 of the top 20 paid players on the Bengals this year (avg salary) are outside FAs, including the top-2 highest paid.
Outside of Tee Higgins (who should never have fallen to the second, and was the first pick) he's been awful in the 2nd round. Talyor- Britt remains to be seen I suppose. Pretty sure Mike Brown, and his cheap labor were behind the bad Marvin "culture" too. Your last point is illustrated by the fact that our defense is bought and paid for.
I'm gonna break every record they've got. I'm tellin' you right now. I don't know how I'm gonna do it, but it's goin' to get done.
