Also, it came out a couple of hours before the 2nd round that Jackson Carmen was being linked to the Bengals. People were saying that he'd be the pick even if we traded down. Only one OL went before our pick, and he was another injury concern. 

While teams will use some smokescreen, I firmly believe the Bengals were taking Carmen no matter what.
