Don't say that it doesn't happen, because the Bengals have done it in the past.

That being said, I still wouldn't have drafted an OT at #9.  I still wouldn't have passed on Mixon in the 2nd round or Willis in 3 or Lawson in 4.

Everybody knew what we had in Ced and Fisher coming into this season. They didn't fix anything drafting them and they know it. Sure they may have tried to trade back in the 1st this year but even when they couldn't we had our pick of any O lineman in the draft. I think people put too much stock into where a player is drafted, does 10 pick slots really make a difference 2 years down the road. There were plenty of guys in that draft that could have helped this line out, surely they can't be worse than what we have. Yes I would have taken 2 maybe even 3 linemen over the guys we got in the first 4. What did any of those players do to help us win Sunday? Mixon had 9 yards and Ross can't even get on the field.
