Wasn't a fan. With draft grades!
#48
Hmmm.....media in general loved this Bengals' draft. I did, too.

1st round the team finally got the WR they really wanted last year....but took the slot WR instead, as all the other good ones were already off the board.

2nd round....and I said this to all the self righteous fans stating the Bengals were drafting criminals. Can't deny that. But, they ended up drafting the 21 year old Mixon, not the 18 year old version. That, in and of itself, makes all the difference in the world. Should he have punched that girl? Absolutely not. But dang.....she did her best to get a rise out of him by shoving him. She just happened to get more than she bargained for. Mixon was certainly in the top 10 in this draft without the "incident". His name should have been considered as one of the top RBs in the entire draft. This was a need and a steal.

There was some talk about Willis and Lawson going in the 1st or 2nd round. Bengals got great value in them.

Malone....again speed. We've exorcised the loss of both Sanu and Jones with much better players. I like it.

Only issue for me is drafting a kicker. Is he good, or better than who we have? I don't know. I don't follow kickers much and believe you can find good ones languishing on the streets after graduating from college without expending a draft pick. So, I plead the 5th on him.

Dielman has to be better than Bodine, right?

This team (especially this offense) is going to be a sight to behold on Sunday. We improved our defense (especially signing Minter) and greatly upgraded our offense.
