Needs on offense v defense

[George Cantstandya]

I'm actually glad that the focus was on the trenches on both sides. I think that is a good way to get things going during a rebuild. I wasn't so thrilled with the trade down in the 2nd round. But I hope Carman will be as good or better than the other O-line players drafted ahead of him in the 2nd. At least that trade down did allow the Bengals to draft 2 more players in the 4th for both O-line and D-line.

It will certainly be interesting to see how this draft pans out in the next few years. I hope the Bengals hit a few home runs with all those picks. If so it will make for a much more flexible draft in the next few years.
