Literally the only reach we had in this draft was Logan Wilson, and he was a polarizing prospect. Some had him as the 3rd best lb some had him a 4th round prospect. He was in the 110s in player rankings.

We will all keep track of Pittman and mims when comparing to Higgins. Mims was the only player who “slid” to the end of the second who has similar measurables, so trading down 10 picks or so may not have worked since the colts were staring Higgins down with the next pick and with colts fans as relatives I can tell you he would not have been there if we traded down.

Literally every player we picked was drafted at least 1 round later than they should have, and they help address a position they wanted to overhaul. The DE we took in the 5th is a power edge that will be a big contributor at stopping the run, and giving that position more youth was a good move.

Bailey was a 2nd round talent we got in the 7th because of injuries. If he can stay healthy we got a starter in the last round, and if he can’t stay reasonably healthy we aren’t out much.

I agree we should have moved Dalton for almost anything. The way this draft came out an extra 6th may have been real gold.

I worry about the o line too, but maybe adeniji works his way into a starting guard and Fred Johnson emerges. You can’t solve every problem in one offseason but they certainly overhauled the worst position group by far.

Appears to me the Bengals went into March with a single minded focus to overhaul the defense. Hats off to them for adopting the dictum Carpe Diem.
They had top 10 cap space.
They had top of round draft picks.

They took full advantage of their great good fortune.
Defense is wholly owned by ZT and front office because they got rid of so many starters.
You don’t see wholesale purges like this very often. Tobin and all the rest had to be on board for such a major change to a steady as she goes organization.
