1) We did not get great value. With either Fairchild or Knight. Either a full or half round early on each.

2) Because of that, trading down would have been wiser. As both guys were likely available later. 


Fairchild was at least a need. But I'd have preferred Grant + a 4th to Fairchild. Wouldn't you?

1. Who is to say they did try to trade down and could not find a trade partner?
2. How do we know if Bengals choosing Fairchild caused others to trade down as they wanted him and their next guy up was further away?

I think if the guy you have spent months mocking with your secnd round pick and 3rd best LB on your board is there, you take him. There is no telling if team who took 4th best LB on their board but was targeting Knight would not have traded up in front of Bengals and stole him from us.

So, no the team seemed committed to Knight and it would be crazy the guy you mocked available and then trade down and possibly losing him,
