Well, if you are one player away, then you gotta take that player. No question about that.

But I don't quite understand how that makes you unsustainable.

If trading up for a Josh Doctson would have meant a SB then the Jackson pick sucks so bad. But I'm not convinced it's one player who's going to make the difference for the Bengals. The coaches have to change what they are doing on the offensive side of the ball come playoff time.
