But I still have to call them out when I feel like the franchise is making mistakes. I was excited for FA and glad we signed Higgins, Chase and Gesicki as well as the others but when I saw how we front loaded contracts I was upset. Got over and was excited for the draft but when it ends and we appear to be universally but in the bottom 5 of draft results I'm not gonna be happy about it. I mean we had a 15min meeting with Stewart that he didn't even remember at the combine. How is that okay? Even liking the pick we should be bringing in all targets of the 1st rd.

Draft grades mean very little, just start bringing up  what they graded vs  how they performanced in the nfl. because a guy might not remembered a coach after meeting multiple teams etc, means little, I will take more stock in what their college HC said about them as a player.  I can understand the debate maybe we should have taken a different DE but what I like about this draft is I felt they had a focuse on the type of defense players they needed to draft to compete with our division.  They went with more players that display a aggressive physical nature in their play and have shown they can stop the run. This is what we are going to need to start winning in division.. I am glad the Bengals understand we can have a top 5 offense again and it wont matter if we have a bad defense and win 1 or 2 games in division
