Great draft Nate and I believe in this philosophy.
The way I see it is if Darnell Wright or possibly Deonte Banks are not sitting there at #28 then I am exploring trade options to drop down and take Washington at the bottom of the first or top of the second. I would use this trade to gain a bit more capital in the mid to later rounds which could be used to draft depth and future starting talent or to bundle and move up for a player that they feel strongly about at some point in the mid rounds.
Bengal fans need to begin realizing that the team has reached a point where you are no longer drafting for that difference maker in the first round. This is the downside of winning if you wish to consider it that way. Late in the first round you are looking for a possible day 1 starter that at least improves a position to a certain degree. This is a great draft to gain capital and add some really, really good building pieces that are going to be exceptional depth if not really solid starters in a year or two.
