That's where Model Model breaks down.
Yup plus I feel like the rate they were hitting on picks wasn’t sustainable and the Bengals front office thought it could be. The chances of you ever drafting a Geno Atkins type player in the 4th round again is slim to none. We robbed the Raiders for a 1st and 2nd round pick for Palmer, don’t see us pulling of a trade like that anytime soon. Used those Picks to draft Kevin Zeitler and Bernard. We traded Keith Rivers to the Giants for a 5th round pick and drafted George Iloka with it. We traded Chad Johnson to the Patriots for a 5th round pick and drafted Marvin Jones with that pick. They traded David Jones and a 7th round pick to Jacksonville for Reggie Nelson.
