In 2012 we passed on DeCastro, traded down and took Zeitler.  I was thinking the same at the beginning of the season, but Zeitler has played lights out the last half of the season and looked (IMHO) better than DeCastro.  Plus he's a good guy and DeCastro (whether provoked or not) is a dirty player. 

In this draft we also took Devon Still in the 2nd and passed on LB Levonte David, and we took Sanu in the 3rd while passing on WR TY Hilton.  Agreed - especially on the Still pick

In 2013 we passed on LeVon Bell and took Gio Bernard instead. Gio was a pretty darn good pick and we already had a good big back.   No one knew how good Laveon was going to be.

In 2013 we also selected Margus Hunt in the 2nd round passing on many other better players.  I couldn't find too many really good players after Hunt.


Of course hindsight might be 20/20, except that nobody except the Bengals placed Bernard ahead of Bell and many Bengals fans wanted Bryant over Gresham. We also wanted DeCastro over Zeitler.
