The Bengals just didn't put themselves in a position to take BPA when made each of their day 2 picks a slight reach. It's less about how the players are gonna turn out and more pointing to over all poor team building.
Amen. If we'd have gotten a for certain starting G in FA or earlier, we could have taken Winston at #81. Who is a clear Battle uograde and maybe Stone as well.
But we shopped at the bargain bin for guards, like we always do. It will likely be slightly better but still mediocre. And in two years, we'll be rinsing and repeating the Volson/Cappa/Patrick/Fairchild/Carman/Johnson carousel again.
