Again, there's the use of the word "seem." It's objective. I get that you object. I'm just stating an opinion based off what I've seen, as are you. Room for everyone's opinion. 

And accountable for what? He seems to not like the guy, that's not something you get held accountable for. Personally, I squeal about him not playing young guys for no apparent reason other than favoring older players. I think he does that 1- out of old fashioned loyalty and 2- out of thinking they're more dependable. 

Or they felt even if they drop a few spots he would still be there...like they did with Mixon in the second round.

When Lapham said he was the Bengals first round target a couple weeks before the draft then it was a very good chance he was going to be the pick.
