Our drafting has sucked lately

.


I would add and also wonder just how much "Best player available" BPA would factor in with the 1st round pick.

Not knowing exactly which players will be there plus not wanting to pass on a BPA makes it harder to just go

in drafting to "pick an instant starter" in round 1 at a certain position.

BPA may not mean that player is ready to start, just the best prospect longer term -or- there is already a solid starter

on the Bengals at the position the BPA plays but they want the BPA anyway for longer term.
