I'm nowhere near a Marvin apologist as anyone on this board can attest, but outside of sucking enough to get really really high can't-miss 1st round draft picks a couple years, they haven't drafted crazy well in the Zac Taylor era.

The biggest difference between the Marvin and Taylor era is that the FO is willing to spend money in FA. 11 of the top 20 paid players on the Bengals this year (avg salary) are outside FAs, including the top-2 highest paid.

I dunno man, Tee Higgins, Logan Wilson, Jonah Williams, Pratt, Shooter, maybe Volson, solid rotational guys like Cam Sample, ADG, etc are pretty good draft picks. 

As to the FA, someone had to convince ownership to do it, and those pickups have largely been a rousing success. I don't know if it's Zac or not in that department, but the players he targeted are legit.
