As I have before, I'll use Cleveland as a good example of a bad example. For a few drafts in a row, they had an abundance of picks in the early rounds. Will all the top talent they selected, they should be a dynasty by now, right? But they're not.
I think that the Bengals are in a good position to make in draft trades, if they see a specific situation that can benefit the team, at the particular moment. Mindlessly trading for the sake of amassing picks is just not a good strategy in my book.
I don't think there's an urgency to accumulate picks this year. They did a lot of heavy lifting in FA. The defense has been added to on every level, which opens things up quite a bit.
The downside is that we had a ton of needs going in. Either way, I'd rather see them take advantage of having the first pick in every round this year.
