The Bengals have drafted only 3 OL in the past 22 years with a top 20 pick. Mims became #4. 

Bengals First Round Draft Picks The Last 10 Years | StatMuse

Levi Jones -#10 in 2002
Andre Smith - #6 in 2009 
Jonah Williams - #11 in 2018

None were a bust.

Now, we have Mims at #18. Others drafted in round one was a couple at #21 and later.

Many look at Carman being a bust, but he was not a 1st round pick.

Time to trust Duke, ZT and our leaders to draft well.

I said the linemen since Zeitler tho. This includes Cedric Ogbuehi, Jake Fisher, and Billy Price. And then all the project picks, one of which let a guy through that ended up shredding Burrows knee his rookie year.

If anyone wants to defend the Bengals track record on drafting olinemen in the last 10 years, knock yourselves out, I won't argue with ya. It isn't that deep with me anymore. 

But I don't get why so many people are up at arms against those that may not like the pick. At the end of the day I hope we all can at least agree that Mims pans out and becomes a perennial pro bowl/all pro player.
