You could tell Marvin wasn't happy when he gave his press conference. We also came close to taking Sharrif Floyd back in '13. Lap said that we would've selected him had Eifert been gone.

It was unfortunate. But the same can be said about the WR situation in the first round this year. If the Bengals REALLY wanted one of those players, they could (should?) have traded up to get him since they knew teams in front of them were very likely going to take at least a couple of those players.

The hope of taking whichever is available doesn't always work out.
