What people aren't understanding about this trading down thing is the simple concept of supply and demand.
The demand for teams to trade down in this draft was absurdly high, and unfortunately, none of these teams were able to hide that fact. There was so much middle of the pack talent from pick 7 all the way to the 20's. Lots of good talent, not a ton of great talent.
Bengals went high upside here, which is what they always do in the drat. I have no issues with this pick.
