You have to exclude the last 2 yrs because Chase and Burrow were consensus best players that we couldnt screw up by taking. But before that the Bengals have been pretty bad at first round picks.
My hypothesis as to why we do well in the middle rounds is because players that are earlier round talents always fall. The bBengals are bad at talent evaluation, but good at recognizing value. So when players with first round grades fall into the second and so forth, the Bengals are good at snapping them up of they are there when we pick.
How can you say Chase was the consensus best player available when Team Chase v Team Sewell was such a hotly disputed thing?
