RAGNOW WAS NOT THERE WHEN THE BENGALS MADE THE PRICE SELECTION....... they might as well crap on the Ja'marr Chase selection and say we should have taken Trevor Lawrence instead, because that makes just as much sense.

Wait, we did pass on Ragnow via trade.  Isn't the comparison to the 2021 draft based on the trade down?  The Bengals had the 12th pick in 2018.  They traded the 12th and 187th to Buffalo in exchange for Buffalo's 21st, 158th and Cordy Glenn.  Ragnow went 20th to the Lions.  Ragnow was there if we stayed at 12 but we decided Price + Glenn > Ragnow. No one is saying Ragnow and Price were both on the board when the Bengals made their selection.

Now we decided that Carman + Shelvin + Smith was better than Jenkins/Eichenberg/Little.  We shall see.
