Its not about going hysterical about the players that we didnt want but more about the selections that aren't making the team better. This draft didn't make this team better going into next season. The first two picks aren't starters on this team. The third guy isnt as well nor the forth or the fifth. I get that this team doesn't have many holes but who are the backups barring injury along the offensive line, WR, TE, linebacker. Hell you could even argue RB

Every team has holes. No team feels complete.  You don't reach in the draft for need that could get you in trouble.  

Cincinnati clearly had a planned for this year's draft and I think that plan is geared
Is geared towards playing future opponents on the path to another playoff run.  They're thinking of Kansas City and the Buffalo bills in particular.  I think there's going to be some tinkering with the defense and the Bengals are going to be very hard to throw against.  Their special team is going to be a nightmare for people.   

Smith will be the swing tackle and he has tremendous length and potential.  Volson is a monster at right guard, but I guess they'll try them at left guard.  I think Ben Brown and that long snapper from pit will make the team.  The draft was thin in terms of talent. I mean the quarterbacks were falling like rocks.

Also, this team made it to the super bowl and have carved out roles for particular player. They are very particular on whom they bring into the building.
