I know exactly what you're saying bro. The Bengals have turned me into a frosted mini-wheat. 

The sweet side says "Look! We got Pollack and swapped Og and Blodine for Glenn and Price! Lazor gets to implement an entirely new offense! We have new blood for the defense with Austin and all these picks!"

Then the wheat side says "But Marv". Le sigh...

Like I said, they did really well against first teamers on teams who HAD to have wins, and won the battles. If the coaches prefer them vs unknown commodities in draft picks from a weak O line class, then I'm good with that.

It's not an either or for me. I didn't think draft picks were surely the answer, I just wanted competition at those spots. That's probably the best we could've gotten with mid-round picks. I would've taken that competition over a project LB or a Peerman replacement. Just my opinion. I realize there's politics to running a franchise and shaping a roster, so I never "trust the coaches" on this. For all we know, Pollack wanted another tackle or guard, but he got out-voted by Marv or a different position coach.

Or maybe the board led them in a different direction. We don't know Pollack likes Redmond or Fisher just because we didn't go tackle or guard with a decent pick. Kinda hard for him to make much fuss when he already got the biggest move (Glenn) and top pick (Price).
