I'm would venture to guess Offensive Line has one of the highest success rate for a player to start at least half their career in all rounds.

Listened to Dehner/Morrison podcast this morning and they talking about this as well.  The odds of getting a 1000 yard receiver in even the 2nd round drop off dramatically which might seem odd to Bengals fans because of our success there, but we are an extreme outlier. 

So I don't think the argument holds much weight for tis pick.  There are so many other factors that go into it.

Chase is almost the perfect weapon for Burrow and this offense given his ability and familiarity with Burrow.   He is like a RB in a WR body and can turn short catches into huge gains, along with being a deep threat.  Really, he just has it all.
