Tee Higgins, Jessie Bates, Whitworth, Mixon, Chad Johnson, Tyler Boyd.

I don't know about 99%, but the odds are against it.

Higgins: 33rd overall pick
Chad: 36th overall pick
Mixon: 48th overall pick
Bates: 54th overall pick
Whitworth: 55th overall pick
Boyd: 55th overall pick

We're talking the 63rd overall pick. We're picking in Patriots territory now. There's a reason why the Patriots always traded down and accumulated more picks. When you're picking at the bottom of the rounds, it seems like you're often best off just getting the most chances you can to hope you randomly hit on them. You don't get blue chip guys in the 1st, and you don't get the borderline-1st rounders who slipped down for whatever reason in the 2nd.

The closest picks the Bengals have had to 63rd in the time frame you just mentioned I think came in their bad years with their 3rd round picks... Kelly Washington and Logan Wilson at 65th, Sean Brewer and Dontay Moch at 66th, Matt Schobel at 67th.
