Yes, obviously these FAs have cost the team a lot more $$ than the draft picks, but at least the FAs are seeing the field.
The only draft pick on OL to play consistent snaps has been Jonah Williams.

If Bengals want to spend a 1st round pick on OT, I'm ok with that.
But do I think they'll have more success with an OT over a WR due to the history of their draft success? No.

Picking Chase at #5 is a lot different than taking Smith in the middle of Round 4. The Day 3 guy is always gonna be a longshot. Especially so for a project like Smith. 

Carman now, that pick was a bust. Though he did perform well in the 2021 PO run. Carman, though, is really the only high pick ZT has whiffed on. Sample was taken too high. Carter is pretty poor. I'd note that 2 of the 3 were guys they wanted to move to new positions (Carman & Carter). Let us stop doing that, please. 

Too early on Hill & Turner.

2019: J. Williams, D. Sample, Pratt 
2020: Burrow, Higgins, Wilson 
2021: Chase, Carman, Ossai 
2022: D. Hill, CTB, Carter 
2023: Murphy, Turner, Battle 

And there have been dome Day 3 successes. Relatively speaking  

2019: T. Williams (Rd6) 
2020: ADG (Rd4), Bailey (Rd7) 
2021: C. Sample (Rd4), McPherson (Rd5)
2022: Volson (Rd4) 
2023: C. Jones (Rd4), C. Brown (Rd5), Iosivas (Rd6), Ivey (Rd7).
