Let's say the Bengals grab, I don't know, a Ryan Findley or a Jarrett Stidham in the 4th round. Go with Justin Layne and Julian Love if you're QB-adverse. If you would've said to someone after the first round that the next three picks would be Findley/Pratt/Sample, would they be happy with that? That's a 2nd round projection, a 3rd round projection, and a 4th round projection. Would seem pretty good on the surface. Personally, I don't really care what order they went in - just get the guys you want at the end of the day.

I think the problem is the perception that Sample would be there in round 3-4 and there were players like Thornhill, Zach Allen, Adderley still there.  But Taylor has a plan.  The Bengals are sticking to their board.  

I really think they traded down in round two when Ford and Risner were picked.  I think they had their eye on Ford even with the new guard they signed in FA this off season.
