Even 1st Round picks are 50/50. The flaw in the Bengals strategy of drafting guys to replace expensive starters in 2-3 years when they leave is that the rate of success of draft picks is 50% for 1st Round picks and less the later you go in the draft.
Seeing that Ced and Fisher were struggling, Whitworth left and they didn't look to free agency to replace him.
The Bengals NEED to USE FREE AGENCY!
