So, I guess I am fine with their draft strategy and accept it without prejudice. In NFL terms 5 seasons is a generation ago and to have to go back that far to find a legit gripe using hindsight - and a paper thin one at that - speaks volumes to how impactful the changes made back then have been.
Again, the Bengals are a first class organization when it comes to drafting, players being happy, contract management (The Cap), player retention, in the community, etc. I surmise that the investments made in changing culminate into an exciting year for the Bengals on the field in 2015.
I call bullshit. Show me the past 5 years our drafts and they're outcomes with a minimum of a year playing versus other teams drafts. Show me how they are the best drafting team. They're not. I don't think they are the worst. I think they are doing a good job. But the best? No way.
