Also understand your points about the Bengals limited use of Free Agency making a need to use every possible Draft pick just to fill out enough quality starters on the Roster. So a high pick QB may seem like a Luxury Pick. I sort of saw John Ross as a Luxury pick.
I find "what if" topics interesting. Many say "what if" Zeitler and Whitworth had stayed which is a form of hindsight that we can't go back and change, so to me a 1st round pick redo is similar as a hindsight topic to discuss.
Just a different way to think about things.
Meanwhile, we have what is actually going on also to discuss. We have John Ross and Zeitler & Whitworth are gone.
I sometimes try to escape what is actually going on with "what if" topics maybe to lessen the boredom or as a coping mechanism.
Ross was absolutely a luxury pick and a guy drafted largely off of his 40 yard dash time. People will argue that he was a good college WR and I don't dispute that but had he ran a slower 40 yard time he was likely a 2nd Round pick.
I went back and forth on it at the draft and I really liked Foster. Had I been running the Bengals, he was my pick. I liked Dalvin Cook 2nd best.
Mixon, while I think is very talented...I would have drafted Robinson in the 2nd. The trade up and get Elflein the C from OSU in the 3rd. (He went several picks before us.) Then draft Lawson and Willis still.
