Doubly so when you have a clown show FO like the Bengals who will end up taking those picks they get, packaging them together and trading up to draft another Ryan Finley.

You have a chance to get a huge big time talent, you gotta take it. Otherwise you'll look like the Browns passing up on Julio Jones.

The more decisions and unknowns you ask this FO to handle, the more you're setting yourself up for failure.

Remember they already sort of tried that route by getting Billy Price and Cordy Glenn rather than just choosing Frank Ragnow.

Let the Bengals think about their pick and they'll out-think themsevles.

I totally get your point. Quite a few times they've traded back, it's resulted in more picks but mostly not great picks.
So if you have the can't miss prospect fall into your lap, you should take, especially with this staff that seems to not develop talent very well.

But on the flip side, if you only get 1-2 upgrades each offseason, it's going to take so many years to get back to being a contender. The fanbase is clearly restless after not having a winning record for 5 seasons now, so good luck trying to get the fanbase to buy into a 3+ year rebuild.
