LOL at Steelers for wasting a couple of picks to get in front of us when we were going OT.

How do you know that? I saw we had Williams 4th on our board. Who were the other 3?

Only people who know nothing about the business side of sports say draft picks are overrated. Two of the more successful teams in the league the past decade regularly trade back and amass draft picks. Additionally the Rams basically built their current team off of trading back. Of course you have to get talent that works in your system with your picks and that’s been the Bengals problem last few years.

This post looks really bad now. The extra 6th rounders allowed us to move up in the 4th...twice. I wouldn't call that zero value.

If it was a new day then maybe some fans would stop complaining just to complain?

Let's see how it plays out, but don't forget the Steeler's traded up and passed on Williams to take Bush. I get it was an immediate need for them, but I think in long haul, they made a very bad move as pick #10 should be BPA and Bush was not the BPA. He was the BPA for their greatest need in 2019.

The Bengals used the extra picks wisely and trading down in the second for the extra 4th and 6th was brilliant. It was like watching the Ravens or Pats draft this year. Traded up, down and all around to get their guys.

How dare people give their opinions on a MB devoted to discussing the team!

Thankfully we have you and your deputies to police the board and tell everyone how to feel.

You do realize that you are doing exactly what you are complaining about correct? Irony is freaking hysterical.

There's a difference between discussing and constantly whining that the Bengals are terrible. It gets really old. You are not one who always thinks things are terrible....but you know the kind I'm referring to, the ones who never have anything positive to say. I have no problem with the occasional negative. I myself was not really happy with the Hart deal. So you don't always have to be positive....but don't always say things are terrible either. Personally I feel like there has been plenty of negativity over the years, and it really serves no purpose to constantly be down on the team. I would rather look for the positives.

Article came out this evening from ProFootballTalk saying the Bengals tried to trade up in the 2nd round for one of the offensive linemen that fell.

I could see them going for Ford or Little and the other OT who went early in round 2

I saw an aggressive FO, a change from the past. I was impressed with our moving back and forth

It was done as recently as on Thursday night 2019 by the steelers who will use him as a inside linebacker .  They only dominate us every damn year n have 6 titles .

Yea they won 6 titles by trading up above the Bengals on Thursday.

Can you tell me when the last time anyone traded into the top 10 for an off the ball linebacker before Devin Bush? I did ask before the draft not after.

Honestly, people label me a complainer, but I think you'll see a lot of positive from me the past few days.

The point I wanted to make was that when it comes down to it, I think that 80-85% of my views on the Bengals would be similar to yours if we really got down to making a list of things we felt about the Bengals.

I will give you credit for being positive on a lot of things lately.
