I guess this was for you Kramer and a few others.

2015 Draft Grade: Cincinnati Bengals

Ever get an A and wonder why because you really didn't work that hard for it that time.

Yeah, I just figured the test was easier than originally thought. A no brainer.

Bengals have been hitting it on draft day for several years...I can empathize with those that wonder how Lewis hasn't done better and how he's still the man in charge.

On this draft...you can almost never go wrong taking OTs in the 1st rd...backing it up with another...eh...it makes sense, but I liked Lockett in that spot...IMO, both of the these OTs will be starters, but probably not in '15 which is good for Dalton.

Getting Shaw & Hardison were very good value picks imo.

Chances are, one of those guys will fill Winstons' role next year as 1st off the bench in case of an injury.

You need at least 7 OL, and with the vast drop-off we saw last year when guys got dinged...it's imperative that you protect Dalton as much as possible, and continue to get holes for the RB's.

I liked the Bengals draft for the most part, but media draft grades are irrelevant as message board opinions the week after the draft. Mel Kiper's basically grading a team on how their picks matched up with his big board. He gave the Bengals 2001 class that had Justin Smith, Chad Johnson, Rudi Johnson and TJ Houshmenzadeh (sp) a C plus.

Over a 2 draft span the Seahawks drafted Richard Sherman, Russell Wilson, Bobby Wagner, Byron Maxwell, James Carpenter, JR Sweezy and KJ Wright.. They were given a D minus and C minus

Are you saying that all of these predraft and postdraft opinions are meaningless?

Idiot!
