Crazy to me that we have Joe Burrow and we haven't spent a Day 1 or 2 pick on offense since Jackson Carman, and folks still want defense in the first, lol.
It has been two drafts in a row the Bengals have used the 1st and 2nd round picks on defense. The 3 previous drafts before that, the 1st and 2nd picks were used on offense. They didnt use the 1st and 2nd round draft picks on offense the previous two drafts because they signed guys like Karras, Cappa and Orlando Brown Jr. in free agency while on defense they let Ogunjobi, Bell, Bates and Apple leave. That meant they had to spend some early picks on defense to help balance the talent loss. Would you rather had the Bengals take the opposite approach and spent the money to keep Ogunjobi, Bell, Bates and Apple while using the 1st and 2nd round draft picks on the offensive line? because that is the other approach that could have been taken.
