Everyone do me a favor and compare the following.  Pay special attention to the scouting departments :

Cincinnati Bengals Staff

Atlanta Falcons Staff

I say this because I know an individual listed on the Falcons staff page.  He has outright told me the Bengals scouting process is laughable at best.  

I've thought about making a separate thread about this in the past, but I can't take the NFL mission to 'put the best product on the field' when the entirety of a teams 'administration' is listed on the 'presidents' do not resuscitate document.  HOLY ***** HELL

I always knew the Bengals had a very small scouting department, but I never cared to look at the numbers of other franchises.

What really irritates me is that the Bengals have fewer scouts than the number of Power 5 conferences. How the heck are the Bengals supposed to find the time to check out all of these prospects thoroughly to find ideal draft picks? And you may as well kiss the small school prospects goodbye because the Bengals don't have time or headcount to go to those schools.
It seems more likely that the Bengals coaches find "their guy" in the draft and then go through each round where one coach gets to pick "their guy". Unfortunately, the list of "their guys" is likely much smaller than the lists of other teams.
