I don't claim to be an expert and when I don't consider to be an expert i tend to look to people that are or atleast have metrics that show how they reached theyre conclusion. Production, tape, athletic testing, age and the consesus board. When the Bengals fall so far out of these with they're picks we have to ask our the Bengals smarter than all of these markers or are they ignoring them and making dumb picks. It feels like an obvious answer to me. I know there are team and we don't want to believe it but that's what is happening. 

You miss my point, they are reaching based an opinion you formed by looking at rankings provided from different sources.

It was very apparent the Bengals got their top 2 targets, Stewart and Knight were ranked higher and determined a fit by the DC, nit some random ranking system.

If those rankings were so accurate, they would not miss ever on a top 15 pick, yet we know they miss every year because it is hard to be right in the top 15 and gets hard the further we get from the top 15.

The Bengals wanted Knight plain and simple. The Bengals felt Knight would be long gone by pick 81 so a ranking srevice may be correct also, he could be a 3rd round pick on their ranking, but we had 17th pick in round 3, not the first pick. 

As I have mentioned, Knight was ranker higher than Martin and he was taken 75th, so likely Knight would have been gone by our pick. That is not a reach, that is making sure you get your main 2nd round pick since he was available.
