Agreed with both. 

Other nearby picks got traded. Those trading in went QB, QB, DE. Either the Bengals 1- weren't trying to trade back; or 2- wanted too much. Either way, Marvin isn't being completely honest, either with himself or with everyone else.

And what a crappy move to basically tell Ross "Yeah, we weren't super interested, but nobody else wanted to help us get who we wanted... sooo... here's a clip board."
