Katie, Troy, and Marvin run the show...and they have an excellent scouting department.

We can hammer Mike Brown all we want, but there would have been many other teams drafting Akili Smith, or David Klingler, or Ki-Jana Carter....and as far as Blake goes, there was some ugly circumstances involving paternity suits (a lot of them) showing up at the Bengals stadium.  A little success went to Blake's, uh, head, rather quickly.  That is a large reason why they were not apt to try and build around him.  

I'm not so sure about that one.....but there were others interested in Klingler, and definitely Carter.  There have been two times in my life that I felt like one of those furious Jets fans they used to show on ESPN on draft day.  One, the day we drafted Klingler, and two, the day we drafted Smith.
