Why Do You Like This Draft!

I think this is the sort of draft you see from perennial contenders.

Agree that this draft is not sexy… but that is not what we need. We need guys that if someone on our team gets injured will understand the culture and their role, fill in and not be a major liability. They will address sexy a little bit more in FA.

At worst almost 100% off these draft picks will play hard and fast on ST. Most of them will provide quality reps in sub packages that allow us to rest starters and decrease injuries.

I also think they have moved toward drafting team first players, and are attempting to avoid trade me or pay me situations which can be toxic. It is impossible to field a team of only superstars and get the culture aspect right.

This may not work as well as we hope, but I see what they are doing. I really think it is very similar to how the patriots have operated for years. If it works out, the next step is trading those pieces to other teams and getting bigger value on the back end. How many backup QBs and other role players did the patriots trade over the last 20 years just to refill their squad.

I think the issue for Cincinnati fans is that we need to see more than one season of results to buy in to the system.
