There was no way in hell the Bengals were going to draft Bush.
Williams was the best Tackle in the draft, the Bengals had the 28th rated OL, according to PFF, games are won in the trenches, not with midget linebackers, no matter how fast they run.
62 points when playing a NFL caliber offense.  Nuff said.

Compare the predraft ranking of Kittle to Sample almost identical.  Casey was giddy when talking about Sample.

Micheal Jordan, by name alone this grades an A+.  One analyst rated him as the 5th best guard, but gave the Bengals a D+ grade for the pick.

T. Williams led the SEC in rushing, was projected as a 2nd or 3rd, PFF.

In two years Finley will lead this team deep into the playoffs, several mocks had him going late first.

This was one of the best drafts in Bengals history!

Every pick was high character and intelligent.

They did not draft a wr, which tells me they think highly of Ross,

Last to first, mark it.

Add in cap management, a LB in a 4-3 high end is 8 to 10 million a year, a LT is 12-15 million. So one thing MB is great with is salary cap management, he spends the money, but never put himself in cap hell.

I agree once Williams fell out of top 7 or 8, Bengals had a no brainer in drafting the best OL and OT in this draft class.
