I didn't mean you. I mean the Bengals. They constantly talk about how free agency is risky and expensive so they build through the draft. The rate of success through the draft isn't that great...
Ironically, drafting a Center in the 1st Round vs Signing a free agent center...the success rate of the signed Center is probably higher. Of course the draft pick costs less and can be used for PR purposes.
