Should they have played Ogbuehi over Whitworth or Andre Smith year one? He played the next year when Dre left...poorly yes. Should Dennard or Jackson start over Dre and Jones? Dennards injuries kept him from alot of his snaps not the team. Should Ross automaticly jump AJ Green Brandon Lafell or Tyler Boyd?
Your whole argument is based on thr fact they are a first round pick that's all. Not if they all are ready to play or if they have players ahead of them. Just hey he's a first round pick he should be starting.
When you are an organization that doesn't rely much on free agency...WHERE do the roster improvements come from the next year?
Instead of addressing positions of need, the Bengals draft positions like CB that get paid heavily in free agency so they can let guys like Joseph and Hall walk and save money.
Like when they drafted Eifert, the Board was on fire about how the Bengals were going to unleash a 2 TE offense like the Patriots. Nope...they drafted Eifert because Gresham was a free agent in a couple years and they didn't want to pay him.
Some fans are perfectly fine with this. But, if the Bengals would occasionally draft guys to play positions of need with the hopes of starting them in Year 1...the product would be better.
