I don't see that drafting low is such a bad thing. Most of the lousy teams tend to reach year after year for the guys who have a great last season in college and fizzel out whereas teams who have to draft lower, 20th and below have to do their homework a bit more and find players who might last a bit longer with fewer character issues. Like kids in a candy store the lousy teams will reach for the latest shiny object. But hey, maybe the Bengals will tank just one season just to nab top picks.
Funny that I used to think that way hoping we'd come in dead last just to get the best picks. It feels like a million years ago that I thought that way..
Perhaps it has been the success the Bengals have had recently that forced them to get better at drafting players as if had they not had the success they would still be reaching for the latest and greatest flops..
