Browns wanted McCarron and were close

While i'm not sold on the pics helping the Bengals--due to their recent 2 and 3 picks...i think it's a half-assed attempt. Basically, it's "well, let's see what we can get for a guy who doesn't see playing time for us". That is a bullshit way to do things. They have real needs right now. I'd rather see them try and address that, and seen them move McCarron in the off season (last off season) when it makes more sense. I couldn't really care less about future guys. How many times have you seen this board littered with platitudes of new draft picks and how they're going to take the NFL by storm, only to be disappointed when they flop or just 'average' their way out of the league or to another team?

Bengals are an organization that lives on half measures.

There is pretty much nothing they could do right now to help the team? Like basically nothing. 

A high second and third rounder would be huge for us. To act like it means nothing is just stupid.

Shake has been in other threads saying we need to draft oline with every pick next year, but now the draft is meaningless and we won't get any good players? An extra second might be a guard or center on top of a DT or something. Sure it might not pan out, but  having those two extra high picks for essentially nothing would be great for helping us rebuild the lines.

But because they didn't get another shitty lineman you guys don't care. Come on, you're both way smarter than this. I get we're all annoyed with the FO for this off-season and the line play this far, but there is nothing to be done now and two high picks would have been huge to either trade up for an elite pass blocker or take another couple swings for a G/C
