Now, I am beginning to understand another facet of this particular draft.  Mission: Improve the STs.  Last year was a rare down year under Darrin Simmons tenure as STs coach, I'm sure the team listened and looked at the data and agreed with his point of view.  That explains why the team might draft 2 late round WRs with good movement numbers and one with a return pedigree, along with 2 CBs and another Safety, not to mention a punter with the best hang time around.  

I'm willing to bet that the Bengals STs units are going to be vastly improved this season.  Better field position = Easier opportunity to put up points, not to mention pinning teams deep to start drives.
