It's tough to really deep dive into long time Bengals veterans vs guys who have played for 4 years. That being said, longevity aside.....
McPherson is every bit as good so far in his career, at his position, as Atkins & Whitworth were. I would say better given the big games he was a stud in.
I would also put Logan Wilson & Pratt in there. Those guys have been outstanding for the Bengals. Especially in big games that mattered.
Personally, I value that big game performance over the guys who shrunk when the lights were brightest. How many meaningful impact plays did Geno Arkins make? AJ Green? Where was he in these playoffs? What were the stakes in the big games Marvin's draft picks have had?
It's an interesting discussion for sure.
No question ZT is bolstered by his blue chippers (Burrow, Chase, Higgins). But his hits in FA are what has infused the team with talent. Marvin SUCKED at that. He also didn't get a lot out of some big time draft picks. He had a TON of draft misses with mid & high picks.
Marvin was part of the group that passed on Stephen Jackson.... TWICE to take Chris Perry. The draft which Marvin involved had a lot of really bad selections. I still blame Duke for most of these mid round follies.
