Here is the list for the Bengals draft picks in case you did not know:
1 21 From Bills
2 46
3 77
3 100 Compensatory
4 112
5 151
5 158 From Bills
5 170 Compensatory
7 249 From Patriots
7 252 Compensatory
7 253 Compensatory
The Bengals tend to draft better later in the draft so those 3 fifth rounders are looking good.

And we already picked up a very good LT to take some pressure off.
This pleases me greatly.
Everything in this post is my fault.

4 picks in top 100 and 5 selections in first 112 picks is sweet.

Kind of makes me wonder if they might just trade some late round picks for higher round players.. With 6 from both the 5th and 7th that's a lot of trade bait.. And there's still the UDFA's to pick up. For some odd reason they seem to do better with UDFA's than with late rounders, but what team doesn't ?

I don't know that there's anything magical about the 4th round other than some recent success we've had there. Certainly nobody is going to suggest that Geno Adkins would be a slouch had he'd been drafted in the 1st, 2nd or 3rd rounds.. Getting him in the 4th was just dumb luck and I'm not convinced that relying on dumb luck is the way to build for the future ..
