Before they traded for Swift and drafted Johnson, Herbert and Montgomery were the Bears two headed monster. Mind you, those Bears teams were bad and they had a lot of bad football players. Wts, both of those RBs stood out positively when watching that team at that time. 

Monty is doing pretty well with the Lions after he moved on.

I have a feeling that many of the disgruntled will be cheering for him soon enough. Didn't cost the team js!

What are you going to get in the 7th round anyway? The guy is a capable running back, but more importantly he is a willing pass blocker and can catch the ball out of the backfield. You're not getting Derrick Henry for a 7th, and if we're going to trade higher picks it needs to be on the defensive line or at corner.

I agree with you. Glad we got him. But we need to be making a move. A big move.

I mean, you can. 

You can swap picks in the same round and I'd consider it less.

Also a Compensatory 7th, which would be after the entire 7th round of normal picks. 

Or 7ths from future years. A pick is normally considered a round lower than it actually is value-wise for every extra year it is in the future.

Good to see them doing something. Want to see them keep running the ball, but not to the detriment of Brown getting worn down or injured.

Would have preferred seeing them pick up a plugger who can fall forward and can pass block, but doing something is better than doing nothing.

Honestly, this was more activity than I was expecting from the Bengals today. Good for them. Herbert makes this team better.

Would have liked us to do something about the defense, but hey, I'm sure we'll be just fine with the people in the building.../s

I wonder if one of the issues the Bengals have making trades is Mike Brown's relationships with the other owners coupled with their notorious cheapness when it comes to "not overpaying"

Not sure if we got better, but we didn't get worse. 

Edit: Maybe we did get better, don't have to see Williams on offense... He suck

Ojulari was our target, and we thought a 4th was too high and apparently so did the other teams targeting him. I am not going to curse them for that.

Herbert helps because of the Moss injury, but he won't drastically improve the team.

The team did not make any trades of significance, per many people's expectations.

They will ride or die with the players they got.

Herbert is wearing #34 since Vonn Bell already has the #24 he was wearing with Chicago

His highlight film is crazy. Check it out at bengals.com

I’m happy w the pick overall due to Moss going down and w Willams not being very good.
*Would have preferred help on D.

But do we know what exactly the plan w this cat right out of the gate?

1. A 1-2 punch sharing duties at 50% w Moss?
2. Continuing the 30-70 Moss-Brown split?
3. Becoming RB1?

I think C. Brown is doing aiiight

Yeah, I remember watching Khalil a couple years ago and when I was playing Fantasy Football and he was a top back in the NFL.

We wouldn't of brought him in if he wasn't healthy and ready to play either. Was a nice pickup and he should contribute in a good way 
immediately and be a better pass protector than both Chase Brown and especially Trayveon. 

Happy to hear we were trying to get Ojulari. I would of gave a 4th for him but a 5th was honestly more fair for us.
