You're basically saying "I'll pass on something that can improve my team this year for the possibility of a middle round draft pick next year". Where is the "win now" mentality?
I heard Soloman Wilcots on NFL Network earlier. He said that a team has to build through the draft, but you're always going to have holes either from people who have left or picks you missed on, and that is what you should look for in free agency. Bring in those one or two difference makers who can put you over the top. I completely agree with this sentiment.
It's not that people are in love with comp picks. We just know the Bengals won't jeopardize them. They cherish them like gold. We've got all the media guys hammering them into us, so there's no need for us to get our hopes up for players that will cost the Bengals their precious comp picks.,
You can always trust an dishonest man to be dishonest. Honestly, it's the honest ones you have to look out for.
