Yes, I read a lot about prospects, etc. on CincyJungle, but never have a strong opinion about one player versus another. Therefore, my evaluation of the Bengals' drafts are well after the fact. And, the past few drafts have turned out to be stinkers for the most part.
The team needs to strike gold in this 2017 draft. Unless something/somebody changes, I have my doubts that they will.
10-20 yr ago I was a draft nut and I had a good sense of who i wanted and it often was on the money. Now? I don't have the time to hunt down and watch the college guys. I TRUST the eyeball more than the mocks. Nowadays I don't watch a bunch of games based on possible draft picks. However, if that was the JOB, then.. the thing is to see SOME unique talent.
Joe Montana? I WATCHED and the coach thought another guy was bigger,had the cannon arm, but Joe would come in and WIN when the other dude failed. He had MAGIC. i KNEW he'd shine as a pro. Bill Walsh got him and made that magic work.
