I'm always skeptical of getting too excited for drafts/draft grades, etc. I do like who was picked, but in general I think every team feels that way. Most fans at this point believe that all of their guys are going to come in and make them contenders or champions.
Yes, it's all really exciting, but I think we're all expecting a little too much right now. I don't intend this to be a downer post, but we're not going to know how well this class pans out for a year or two.
Ultimately, regardless of how good or bad these picks are, the lynchpin is going to be the offensive line. They'll be the difference in whether the Bengals are in the playoffs or picking in the top ten again.
