So the first pick in the second you can draft guys that should have gone middle first. First pick in third means you draft guys that should have gone middle second. 

Our whole draft is severely strengthened and it has a huge cumulative impact on getting good players in the draft. We've had some bad drafts lately because of bad scouting but also because we have picked late in the rounds. So this allows us to possibly get 2 to 3 impact players in the draft.

You’re applying logic to Mike Brown’s and Zac Taylor’s drafting ability. With respect to 31/32 NFL other teams you would be spot-on correct. However, once Mike gets his first round franchise quarterback he won’t care beyond that. I predict in the second through the sixth rounds the Bengals will pick some Drew Sample-esque head scratchers and we’ll be back to square one in 2021.
