And he had some talent to work with.
That's what made it infuriating. We still have some all-time Bengals greats on the defensive side. Namely Atkins and Dunlap, and to a lesser degree Burfict. We have some decent to good guys in our secondary. Basically, there was no excuse for it to be that bad.

I know some people wanted Bush, but overall most people seem happy with our pick.

Rightfully so, though. It was just a good sound pick that's hard to complain about.
Not only did it fit a need, we got the best lineman in the entire draft at 11.
So in this instance, not kool-aid. That will come when we draft some scrub WR in the 7th that everyone will get excited about.
The training, nutrition, medicine, fitness, playbooks and rules evolve. The athlete does not.
