I think they absolutely NAILED the 2015 draft. I still grade it as an A+. If there was a higher grade I would go with that.
2014 is looking like an A as well. 2 guys who will be solid contributors for a long time in Dennard and Hill, a starting center (temporarily I hope, see comments on 2016 draft), and AJ Mac who looks to be a starter, great backup, or trade bait at some point. The rest are depth & development and that is what the draft is for when you have a team with as much talent as the Bengals.
2016:
- I hope hope hope hope they get some inside Oline help in the form of a stud center somewhere early.
- I would like to see another CB taken with the ability to return kicks & punts with impact while learning the position on the field.
- WR who is fast and shifty would be great. See ST needs above.
- LB is a HUGE need from a talent standpoint. The Bengals were lucky to be able to keep the same 3 or 4 guys out there for most of the year playing without major injury.
