I'm as big a Bengals homer as anyone, and the draft isn't even close to my biggest day of the year as a fan. In no particular order...
1) First game of the year
2) First home game of the year
3) Bengals/Steelers on MNF
4) Bengals announce the hiring of their first new coach in almost 2 decades.
All of these are more exciting to me than the NFL draft is. Hell, unless they're eliminated from competition and it's December pretty much every game is a bigger deal to me than the Draft. That said, nobody should have to apologize for being excited about adding new players, especially when the team has had a pretty good track record through the draft. It's usually a pretty good weekend for the Bengals (2015 aside).
The people who are making comments about future drafts are a) joking and b) in the vast minority.
