We are a better team today..... - corpjet - 05-01-2016 than this time last week and thats what you hope for following the draft. We've improved our depth which is vital but also added some young guys to push the current starters on our roster. In addition to good football players it looks like we've added high character guys who will be an asset in the locker room. Regardless of whats happened in the post season, Duke Tobin and Marvin have been one of the leagues best when it comes to the draft! Once again great job to the Bengals organization can't wait to see what the new crop of players can do!

Well, that wouldn't have been hard to do if you take in to account that they lost: Reggie Nelson Marvin Jones Mo Sanu Leon Hall Wallace Gilberry Eman Lamur There are four starters and one very important rotational piece in this group. They have successfully filled at least some of the void at WR, improved the situation at CB, and improved the situation at LB. Safety remains to be seen if Derron Smith can be a quality backup at this point and Williams and Iloka and become a potent due. It is much more than just the +7 draft picks, it is managing the entire team and they have done that extremely well. Also, I can't wait to see the compensatory picks for those guys next year. They are getting +4, and hopefully at least one or maybe two are third rounders. Don't forget that those are trade-able next year. RE: We are a better team today..... - StLucieBengal - 05-01-2016 I am encouraged by our draft. I would imagine Eifert will split wide a little more this year. Plus james wright will be playing some outside as well. I can't wait to see Billings out there ... I so want bengals.com to publish his conference call like they do the others. RE: We are a better team today..... - Element - 05-01-2016 LOL this thread made me laugh, you would ***** hope so that you become better after the draft. Believe it or not, EVERY team got better after the draft, crazy right?

So yes it was pretty damn easy to become a better team then last week after the draft RE: We are a better team today..... - SunsetBengal - 05-01-2016 (05-01-2016, 02:47 PM)Element Wrote: LOL this thread made me laugh, you would ***** hope so that you become better after the draft. Believe it or not, EVERY team got better after the draft, crazy right? Perhaps the OP should have rephrased the statement as "We are a better team now, than prior to the offseason". Some of us would argue that the Bengals will be a better team, with cycling some shelf stock.
