Proper edit. Well done.

Loved adding 3 DBs which was much needed reinforcements from a loaded historically fast class of DBs. The way we are attacking problem positions with multiple players in recent years is something I like.

When they picked the three LBs in 2020, I was very, very happy. I was a little underwhelmed with their attempt at drafting O-line last year when it was a glowing weakness, but I'm liking the 3 DBs and don't care about Bates' feelings.

I don't think he had a problem with that.

I didn't hate the Gunter pick. It's hard to except a ton out of seventh rounder. It just seems like they could've gambled on a WR or RB there as there isn't as many success stories of DL working out as other positions.

But who knows. We didn't have a home run like the last two years, but that's ok. We got several potentially solid guys. Gunter included.

I would love to know who the Returner will be for the next four or five years. Why the Bengals haven't tried to get a legit WR/Returner for so long baffles me.

I think his problem with it was trading up the second time, not both, because that's how I feel about it all. 

"Cool! Love it! Not used to seeing that!" and then a day later it was more "Really? or "Why?" than anything else. The Bengals have only walked away from the draft with only 6 selections twice before. The Ki-Jana Carter draft with Melvin Rootin' Tuten in 1995 and Levi Jones and Matt Schobel in 2002 so it felt a little weird only having six selections.

Probably favorite pick is Volson - Guy just has bad intentions!
Least favorite - Carter, only because I know nothing about him and hadn't heard anyone talk about... He does have good numbers though!

Not just the last few. After a great FA period, this has easily been the least amount of time that I've spent on the draft since the early 90s. Glorious.
