Let us not forget, signing Hart left money on the table for Eifert and Dennard.  If we overspend on Brown or the kid out of Miami (name escapes me at the moment), we probably don't sign one of those two players.

Make no bones about it, we are STILL suffering from the Ole'hi and Fisher picks.  

It's hard to tell what he actually meant about that 3rd round thing. It did sound like that was the first pick they'd think about taking a tackle, but, of course, that would be ridiculous. Then again, this is the Bengals front office inner workings we are talking about, and logical thought processing hasn't existed there in 28 years.
