Then again, I was sure they would pick Drew Lock in the 2nd and they traded him away....

So Bengals could have taken Lock, but they didn't want him in 2.   Coach Taylor wanted to trade back and get more picks for Last Place Bengals.  At one point Bengals had 13, more than any team.  Kind of like an expansion draft for the new head coach.  Then in 4 they started trading back up.  Look, they had extra practices due to new coach, and maybe Taylor saw how gimpy Eifert is.  They sure took TE in 2nd.  Bookends of OT and LB.  Then traded up for second pick in 4 to take this QB that Taylor really liked in workouts in Cincy. 

Dalton is not a great big problem, but Blocking and Tackling are. Bengals got Blocking and Tackling, a TE die to often injured Eifert, and still got an almost round 3 QB. 

I agree that Dalton is a good team player and will help the young QB develop. We will have a solid #3 QB also on bench or practice squad. Hey, this isn't Marvin. We don't know how many QB's Taylor will suit up each week.
