He was the first TE taken and yet he wasn't even a top-3 TE from his own draft. I don't think I would go as far as calling him an outright bust, but I honestly don't think I have ever seen "everyone" (or even a large amount of people) saying that Eifert was a great draft pick.
Or are you doing some Fred shit where you're referring to people posting on here directly after the 2015 season (but before he hurt himself in the Pro Bowl of all places) rather than from when there's actual context and capability to judge the pick?
We are talking about two different things here.
I am judging the Bengals decision on draft day to pick players that are capable of top production in the NFL. Based on that, both the selections of Woods and Eifert were great picks.
What you are doing is judging the Bengals decision on draft day based on information that was not available on draft day. In your opinion the people who said Eifert was a great pick in 2015 were correct AT THAT TIME and the people who later said it was not a great pick were also correct. To me it does not make sense to judge a decision made in 2013 to be both "great" and "not great" depending on things that happened after 2013.
