Like 'em or not, this mock is based upon those moves which leaves the Bengals drafting for the future of the interior of the DL, and selecting both a top WR and RB, as well as a strong mid-round TE.

I like a lot of the picks, and also the FAs make sense.
The main thing that's bugging me is giving a 3-year, $45 mill contract to Brown, who was just playing on a 2-year, $13 mill contract, is about to turn 31 years old, and hasn't been playing like a guy worth $15 mill APY.

If you brought that cost down to under $10 mill APY, I'd be on board.
