The Bengals raped this draft. Just absolutely crushed it.
I don't think they made a single pick that I'd grade below a B+. Just a fantastic job by those guys.

I think Menzie went very late given his skill and production level. Kid can ball.

Wasn't there a stat a few years back where most QB's who declare early are busts? Also another one where one year wonders are usually busts too?
As for steal, CB Leonard Johnson undrafted to the Bucs.

Everybody kind of picks the same 5-6 guys who fall down the board. As for our division... I have to say I really like the SDSU RB Denver picked up. Dont think I've seen him mentioned anywhere... but he's definitely a guy with big play ability. John Fox will probably get his money's worth out of him.

I'm going to change your definition a little, and say Luck.
You have over a decade of a HOF QB, and he misses the season the year before one of the best QB prospects in years is going to be the top pick? That's a ****ing steal. |

It is all very convient how it worked out for them. They didn't even win a game until they were guaranteed one of the top 2 picks. Won 2 in a row and then lose the last game.

I would imagine there are very few seasons where a team cannot give up 3 firsts and 2 2nds to move up 4 spots.
Watch - next season there will be a chance to move up to 2 if a team is willing to give up that kind of haul for it.

Like I said - there's every reason to make the argument that the Skins made a wise decision to move up.
But a 'steal'? Gimme a break - the Redskins just gave up more value to get any single player than any team has given up since Herschel Walker.

Weeden, to me, signals a completely different approach to drafting QBs. Simply put, if the player has a flash of evidence to suggest that he might be a franchise QB, he's going in the first. Period.
Luck and RGIII provided sustained looks at elite-level play. Tannehill and Weeden flashed. How the above is conveniently forgotten when discussing the likes of late-round picks is beyond me, but the league is evolving, has been, and the "best" GM in the business isn't reacting.
