Most Overrated Bengals

Side note?

That first round was amazing early, unless you were reaching for a crappy QB. It was as close to impossible to miss with anyone in the Top half of that draft as you'll ever see in a draft. 12 of the 16 first picks have been Pro Bowlers, 9 have been 1st Team All-Pro. That's even with three teams reaching hard for Locker, Gabbert, and Ponder.

Well i saw earlier where you praised Steelers for their draft of Bryant.. but Tomlin has not hit it out of the park either at WR in early rounds ... he has had some bad picks ( Limas Sweed 2nd round, Willie Reid 3rd round) plus he picked Holmes in first round and he under performed for a 1st round pick.  I believe  only Wallace totaled over 4,000 yards outside of Brown, so not like Steelers are knocking down the door of Wr's the last 10 year either.  

Also I don;t see Sanu as over rated.. most other teams he would be getting more throws and catches but the Bengals have a true #1 in Green plus Jones and Eiffert.... so to say he is over rated and hype up Hilton from Indy I don;t see it.   Hilton has played one more year than Sanu and the last two years he has been their number #1 WR and he has only averaged 6 TDs.. Sanu as a 2/3 WR has averaged 4 TDs.
