Your team absolutely killed it in the draft. They drafted players to even further enhance your team's philosophy, nice job. I feel like the Bengals made huge steps forward in this year's offseason, as well. Looking forward to some exciting games this season.
Volson is meh, but I like him, and he has far exceeded my expectations

They really did have a grade A draft. I've always respected Baltimore. Never could feel the same about CLE or PIT.

Yeah once again the Bengals had one of the worst drafts that's like 4 or 5 years in a row. Duke Tobin STINKS!

EDC proving to be a good replacement for Ozzie. Trading Hurst resulted in the pick we used on Simmons and the pick we traded to the Jags for Calais Campbell.
Pretty good draft for the Bengals too

Bengals draft was good. Burrow May give the div fits for years.

Really happy with the Ravens' draft from start to finish. 100% behind DeCosta with almost every move he's made.
Cincy had a very good draft too. Obviously Burrow will make or break the class overall but Higgins and Wilson were two of my favorite players this year. Higgins' strengths play right away in this division especially with all the blitzing and the zero coverage we like to bring on defense. You can throw it to him with confidence even when he's covered. Wilson is just a damn good linebacker. Instinctive, sure tackler and quick enough to cover.
It's also funny to me that Steelers fans are quick to point out that Fitzpatrick counts as their first round pick so they automatically had a great draft. But they don't realize that we traded mid/late round picks to get Calais Campbell and Marcus Peters.
I'm a career lurker but I really like this board. I follow our division almost as closely as the Ravens so I enjoy the Cincy perspective.
BTW- Ozzie is still an active part of the organization
