Let's look at it this way...
Johnny Manziel and Teddy Bridgewater were considered top-tier QBs in the 2014 NFL draft, right? The Buccaneers and Titans both needed a QB.
They could have selected either of those guys at 7 and 11 respectively but instead chose to get Evans and Lewan. They then chose to trade up the following year for Winston and Mariota.
I'd argue they made better decisions to trade up for Winston and Mariota over drafting Manziel and Bridgewater the year prior, right? Winston and Mariota have both been better than Manziel and Bridgewater. Not to mention the fact they got guys who really helped both of their QBs who were drafted the following year.
I think there will be plenty of surprises come next Thursday. Hopefully what ever way they go they improve this team. If Haskins is there at 11 and they trade back then it must be what the experts in the FO believe will be best. One player is not going to be what puts them over the top. They need to knock it out of the park to make the Bengals a legitimate PO contender.
