Just because you add more lottery tickets doesn’t mean you’re automatically going to hit on them. I’m open to moving back a couple spots. Just not all the way back into the teens though. Which is where you should be taking a guy like Darrisaw.

This is hopefully the last time we’re picking in the top 5 for a long time, and I want another franchise changing player out of it (like AJ Green).

Well sorry about again you need to open your thinking...  Darrisaw is considered the 2/3 tackle and on most mocks goes in the top 8 to 15 draft with a no trade draft.. when you start trading that brings in different variables... for example this will be a higher than normal QB draft i believe in top 15 because there seems to be at least 6 teams in play for QBs which moves them up in draft.. so Darrisaw is being pushed down because of the 4 QBs that could go in top 10-15 pick...the Bengals don't need a QB, so their value i tackle is not so based on pick 8/10/12/15 it is based on need and quality of those players at that position.. So on the Bengals board, Darrisaw or Slater is probably sitting top 8/10  right now so picking them 10-15 pick is actually a more value pick when you consider they also will be getting extra picks for moving down for a player they value much higher... 

And sorry Chase is not being compared to AJ Green or J. Jones various mocks have Smith going before Chase. and some Chase in top 8 to 12 pick... and  from those who are experts in the draft I don;t see anyone really comparing Chase to Green.. 5th picks in the draft are the not the same value year to year...
