I think people wanted to hear that the Bengals would start going for top-tier FAs rather than reserve their money for extensions.
Personally, I'm not surprised, as this is the same FO as when Marvin was here. Expect guys who have connections to the coach(es) in some way and/or those who are considered more B-tier players to plug in as short-term starters until draft picks come (along).
Exactly, they are going to have to make a couple big moves in FA if Taylor wants to win right off the bat. Otherwise it is going to take many years. We need 4 more starters on the O-line and at Linebacker. That isn't all going to happen in the Draft. I also agree with Pistons here on the comp pick crap. These hardly ever work out for us.
