The bengals added a lot of talent but will that equal success on the field? It is hard to tell.
2005 was a good draft immediately after and even after the first year. By 2006 the 2005 draft was basically useless with pollack out with a broken neck, and Thurman suspended basically the rest of his career for choosing drugs over football. By 2009 I wish the 2005 draft never happened, RIP Chris Henry.
That draft just goes to show how far on the spectrum you can go from an A+ draft to basically an incomplete or F in a matter of years.
Thank you for posting.
Yeah I agree these grades mean nothing right now. But I'll be the first to admit they are a guilty pleasure of mine. I'm also interested in the board members banter about the grades and also like getting their personal take of the draft as well. Thought a mass grade thread made sense.
