Why Do You Like This Draft!

[Whatever]

But when you do the minimum then give up a league high in sacks and give up what I can only imagine is a post season record. While that same #1 QB is hobbled multiple times along the way. The fans that bought into that coaching staff are stupid for listening to their lies but also stupid for questioning the draft?

They brought in 3 guys while releasing one and drafting a 4th rounder. Not saying that's not good and I'm not excited for this team. But I think we could do more and probably owe Burrow more after the beating we've allowed him to take after the last 2 seasons. Maybe the way the draft fell is out of our hands but we shouldn't just accept that as a team. We should be signing someone like Tretter or possibly making a trade with a team. 

I think you have to look around the league, specifically at KC, for those answers.  

KC won the SB in '19.  They then returned to the SB in '20 with a patchwork OL.  After losing in the SB in large part due to that OL, they sold out trying to build an elite unit and dumped a ton of cap dollars and draft picks into the position group.  However, they neglected their other position groups in the process and moved backwards as a team. 

For the Bengals, it's pretty simple to look at KC's mistakes and not repeat them.  They have tried to improve the OL, but they haven't drawn resources away from other position groups to do so.
