and when we play a team that has a dude like this; Watt, Parsons, Garrett and see how they impact a game it just pisses me off that they never seem to prioritize these edge players through FA or Draft. 

I may be wrong on both accounts but I believe the only LB they drafted in the 1st round in the past 15 years was Keith Rivers 14 years ago. And I can't remember either a DE/DT that they drafted in the 1st round the past 15 years.

Carlos Dunlap, while a 1st round grade and talent, was taken in the 2nd round and Burfict, while a 1st round talent, was a FA pick due to multiple issues.

Regarding the running game, I'm not sure they need to a running game to be efficient on all downs, 1-4, but they need to be better on 1st down, in my opinion.Cinci. uses the pass as a running play these days just as Brady and NE did for years. BUT, 1st down is huge when you have 3 great WR's and a TE that can stretch.
