Meaning our original 4th round pick is more like pick 20 then pick 9 of the fourth round. Kinda crazy to think how far we fell in the 4th round thanks to the extra 11 3rd round picks awarded.

Now I wonder how important it was to not sign free agents to try to get comp picks. I'd rather have the free agents if we can't even get a 3rd after all we lost and didn't replace.

And in an even more of a  blow. CLE, BAL, PIT all got extra 3rd round picks.

I seriously hate the compensatory pick process...do away with it completely.  If you didn't sign your own FA, you have saved money.  This never makes any sense to me.  How on earth, with the losses the Bengals had, did they not get better earlier compensatory picks?
