Fourth Round is not where we find our Pro Bowlers at. Keep being upset by it.
Since you're a casual fan who just started watching the Bengals in the last 5 years I don't mean to bang a drum in your face so hard. Sorry for that.
- Being draft picks, it DOES matter when they are injured and how many major injuries/surgeries they have. That's the topic of discussion. Not "can guys can come back from injury". Like, no $#%*, Sherlock. Of course they can. But coming off of major injuries and missing the start to their pro career? The list of success stories like that is TINY.
The Bengals should not be throwing 4th rounders away - especially ones with major surgeries and only 10 games played in the last 2 years - , yet they do nearly every draft. Duke Tobin is NOT good at finding consistent value there.
- Bengals found Geno Atkins in the 4th round. That's the lone bright spot in the last 25 years.
