Worse draft in the Burrow Era

Their 2 best players were only received because they fielded one of the worst teams in football. This is not a stretch, they haven't won a superbowl lol.

Joey Goodberry gave the Bengals a D; go argue with him your points lol. "One of the worst drafts they've ever had."

Imagine not being critical of a team that has never won a superbowl, especially as a fan. 

Duke Tobin's leash is too long, we have poor scouting department, Albert the D coordinator should not have a long leash either. Just killing Burrow's years.

I'm not saying we had a great draft or anything (though I feel better about the picks today then I did last week), but you're using the absolute worst person in the world to back up your opinion. It'd be like me saying capitalism is the best economic system in the world and then saying Karl Marx agrees with me (too extreme? lol)

That being said someone like Goodberry IS definitely a better source to use.

I get that Kiper is wrong quite a bit, but it's still what he does for a living. I honestly think the Bengals best pick ever was Geno & he was what a 4th rounder, I wish Marvin was our GM. He should've been moved from HC to defacto GM, but Mikey & family are the true experts of NFL football.

Honestly, I'll take almost anyone on this board's opinion over Mel frickin' Kiper.

Virtually no one liked our draft. And for good reason.

Ya'll should just accept the fact we stunk it up and stop feeling all butt hurt when we get called out on it.

Someone ranked all the draft grades from 24 different analysts. We finished dead last. Not one outlet went B+ or higher. Not. One. Two D-. It isn't a Kiper thing, it is a Tobin thing.

A grading system that you are holding all players to as well as using the consensus rankings to try and get value at each pick.

Take the Bengals draft whether you really like it, hate it or somewhere in the middle. They clearly drafted on need or let need effect there rankings. Which everyone always says we need to go best player available not need. Well the Bengals aren't doing that so I would say it doesn't look like a good process. May or may not work out but they have the 32nd rated draft for very good reason.

Should be but there isn't for 90%+ of them.  Do you really think the majority of them put Goodberry's level of dedication to understanding the draft?  And even with that it is still just an opinion.  It's just click bait at this point, and nothing more.  

See you in four years.

Why should we accept the results of the 2025 draft when not player has practiced or played a game? You maybe need to put on the breaks with this matter of fact opinions.

The draft is over and a couple of years from now, minimum of 2, but 3 better we can then give it a true grade.

We get it, you on on record our drafts sucks. You may be a genious or the draft may turn out to be average or better. 

I respect your feellings while disagreeing, time you reaspect members who don't share your OPINION.
