The question becomes: How many players do we need? We already have 11 picks, though I suppose around the 5th compensatory there is a drop off (that said, filling needs like K or backup QB/RB/DE/LB/CB/ST can still be done after that. So with 1 2 3 4 4 5 that gives us six potentially higher impact picks already. I suppose I might entertain Indy's offer but you do wonder what they're going to do with all these players.
On the other hand, picks in future years might be worth acquiring. Especially if the payoff was slightly larger for giving them something now in return.
I would prefer Indy's 1st and 2nd, but the extra Washington picks would allow them to trade up or trade for future picks. Although, not in keeping with the Bengals conservative draft history. More of a Belichick scenario.
