I want to win right away as much as anyone, but I really did not see any player leaft at #24 who would have stepped in and started for us.
I see a lot of people saying that we should have traded up, but there has to be a team in front of you who is willing to drop back to #24. So we do not even know if trading up was a possibility.
Even though I went into the draft wanting another position, once the draft played out the way it did I am satisfied with the pick.
This year there are 30 CBs making $6 mill+ per year. That will go up every year. I'll bet that if DK stays healthy, and the Bengals have another good team defense he would get that much in '17 when he is set to become a free agent.
And to avoid another five pages of repeating the same old arguments I will only say that he would get paid that much. Not that he would be worth that much.
