Some teams like to trade up to fish in the richer pools, other trust the scouting department to sift the gold from the silt and sand.
Maybe the Bengals think they hit what they needed to hit and depth/sleepers is what they are going after?
That said, I get your strategy. It could work, but not what the current coaching staff in leaning towards.
Love the idea of the aggressive approach.
They definitely seem to be taking more high ceiling/low players than usual:
Mims - off the chart measurables but limited experience and some injury concern
Burton - Rd 1 talent but character concerns
All - Flashes of great traits and production but significant injury concerns.
Not necessarily a bad approach when you have a fairly established roster.
Would have liked the draft a lot better if they had gone Stover and Wiley instead of All and if they have moved up a couple spots to get Estime.
