I know you need a few seasons to score a draft but those guys for the Bengals look special. Add the Palmer trade & the way the team is gelling especially in the play of the losses to the Steelers & Ravens , Cincinnati could the real winners of this past draft plus pulling off the best trade of the season by sticking to their guns for Carson Palmer.

Yup. Certainly looks like a special combination in Cincy.

They have 2 first round picks to work with next year, and if Oakland wins a Playoff game, (which at this point is looking likely), they'll have 2 more in 2013.

They're really well set up for the future.

Problem is, it's Cincinatti. They find ways of making things not work (not that we Dolphins fans should be overly critical here, but just sayin)

I think Dalton might be the class of the draft. I think the future will prove he just might be better than Newton although both teams it appears have found their guy .... how that must feel??
