Lions. I wanted McKinnley Jackson before we drafted him, very stout against the run and has the body type for NT.

Kris Jenkins is a great run stopper, but he is still kind of a hybrid or Freak as Harbaugh called him at Michigan.

Bengals have a really good team, but how many of the players outside of Burrow, Chase, and Higgins would the outsider NFL fan be able to name? Bengals roster has some underrated guys that just aren't big names.

2) Even if they have a good team on the field, it doesn't change the fact some see the ownership as cheap. Even if they did pay top dollar for some premier talent, some things like stadium quality are considered toward the bottom for NFL. For example, New York Times listed Paycor Stadium 27th out of 30 stadiums in the NFL.

Quality of the team and a franchise's frugality are not the same thing.

Also what teams actually have top ten rated players at more than 5 or more positions. 

I think it is apples to oranges to compare owners and teams, just a handful of nfl teams wealth is tied to the team. Of course Browns, Halas, Wilsony, Bidwells  might be less apt to open their pocketbook compared to rich owners who don't have to worry about team revenue as their main source of income.

As for age of stadiums,  Bengals are 13th oldest stadium  and at least 4 to 5 stadiums older than them have had major renovations.

SF has a great roster as does Baltimore. Philly does too. The problem I see with the Bengals is Dax Hill and Myles Murphy & Cordell Volson. Your first rounders can’t be still backups in their second year. You need solid starters rookie deals.Volson though not a first rounder needs be better than average. He doesn’t look like someone who will get extended. I’m not saying their drafting has been bad but few home runs. Who has been a huge surprise? Logan Wilson? Sure they’ve hit on sure fires like Joe and Chase. They hit on Tee but he too was essentially a first rounder. I believe they have a top 7 roster. What they lack is a better OL and an another all-pro or two on defense. But their strength is one of the best rosters in players 10-22.

Last years team was not very good on defense.The offense got a slow start. If Joe had stayed healthy they might have won a playoff game. SF won’t win a SB nor Philly. I’ve seen a lot of both their QB’s in person in college. Hey are solid managers but not difference makers. But kudos to them for limiting mistakes.
