Then...he signed with the Rams.
Man...it was botched. And not just when he left. Drafting Ced and Fisher. Ced was coming off a severe injury and was going to likely miss the upcoming year. Probably could have taken him in the 2nd Round. Look at the scouting report for Ced - he gave up a lot of sacks in college too.
Just botched on so many levels. They could have franchise tagged him.
It didn't have to be Kirkpatrick OR Whitworth. And we could have afforded Zeitler too, but people say no Guard is worth that much and side with the Bengals.
Well, we've had a TERRIBLE line the past 2 years, but we saved money.
We have this reputation for drafting so well and I dont think so. Our first rounders have not been great choices looking back on them. Yeah AJ was an amazing pick but after that?
Or how about that wonderful 2nd round Simpson pick? We have a tendency to draft "projects" high...dumb. A project is a 5th or 6th rounder, not top 3.
