Watch a young player like Willis who may improve with more playing time.

Give up draft picks to watch a guy who is 31, not doing much more than Willis, and getting worse with age instead of better.

Agreed, I can't really get behind trading draft picks for what is essentially a "rental", a guy that most likely isn't even going to be on the team next year.  One of the Bengals biggest operating M.O.s is to draft and develop.  They invested a 3rd round pick in Willis, it's time for him to develop.  

Think I'm wrong?  What would have happened if they would have kept Geno Atkins on the bench, and picked up a "rental"?  Injuries pushed him into service, and the rest is history.
