I get it but that high up in the draft they should be able to get a stud. Plenty of positions that produce right away. Tells me that they don’t trust their scouting department and or they have a delusional thought that they are a player away from something special. I would debate they aren’t.
If Lawrence plays to his talent, this will be a good deal for the Bengals. They just weren't going to find a player that good in this particular draft to match the window they're working with. Instant upgrade for the run defense and he's one of the better interior pass rushers in the league. As long as the offense stays healthy, this team will be the favorites in the AFCN.
I still think the Steelers minus QB had the better offseason. Not sure how their spotty OLine will help Joe stay afloat. As far as the favorite the Steelers usually just aren’t. But I expect by game 1 our team is going to be looking pretty attractive.
