We can rightly question and criticize the organization for having such a tiny staff, but we cannot live in a fantasy world where recent Bengals draft history is equivalently "worst". The same tiny staff, for the most part, was among the class of the league drafting the first half of the '10s that has been turds since then.
What's absolutely frightening to me is that some of you only equate scouting and analytics to the draft. Like you have absolutely no concept of pro scouting or anything of the sort.
Regardless of whether or not we've been "the worst", "one of the worst, or even "below average" in the draft alone, there's no arguing with the results on the field. This is a franchise that hasn't won a playoff game in over 30 years.
Fwiw, I laughed again when you put us among the "class of the league" in the early 2010's. "Class of the league" to our beaten down fan base means top 12. How sad is that? You would have thought we would have reeled off a couple of Superbowls and Conference Championships in there but nope, we're such a sad organization that we hold up Wild Card performances like the '91-97 Chicago Bulls.
I'm going to put this as simply as I can: All of the people you see listed in the OP have a hand in building their respective teams. And our team has been laughingstock for years. That's a real big ***** problem and it needs to be fixed ASAP. No one should be defending the Hader Hardware that is our front office.
