The draft is a crap shoot.  If you lose 2 or 3 proven starters that played good, you cant expect that just because you use a 1st or 2nd round draft pick on their replacement those draft picks are going to make up for the loss of the proven player.  The defense is not doing as well this year because we let some talent leave and the guys we drafted to replace them are not performing as well.  Just because we spent a #1 draft pick on Dax Hill, doesnt mean he is going to help the defense like Jessie Bates.  If the Bengals want to get serious about improving the defense and in particular the defensive line, this offseason they need to go after some good free agents.
