Ok so Bengals draft is done and this is what this team has after some questionable picks and some future gems. Of course their aren't a lot of big names in this draft, but big names don't always work sometimes lesser names become strong Pros. Coming in I saw the needs as DE, OLB, C, CB,WR, and backup QB. The last isn't a popular decision and yes I like Dalton but if you aren't sure you have a QB that can win in the big game you have to get someone who can. AJ is getting down graded bad by critics he's a leader you can't teach that. So then on to needs I knocked them out one by one. Ealy for DE, Trevor Reily for OLB, Stork with big game experience for C, and Walt Aikens a little know future starting CB.
With all needs taken care of it was time to take some gambles for the future
First there is RB Isaiah Crowell once regarded as best RB in high school football. He made some mistakes but everyone deserves another chance. Every year there are small college players that become house hold names . Who are Howard Jones and Elhadji Ndiaye maybe we will know them next year or the following years to come.
Overall I'm satisfied with my team and my draft. I thank Pest and all of you for letting me participate this year and hopefully I can participate in the future.
