Four consecutive years

[wolfkaosaun]

The Bengals draft for the future with their 1st rounders more often than not.

Ogbuehi was drafted for the future. As was Kirkpatrick, Dennard, and WJIII.

But many players did contribute.

Eifert had 445 yards as a backup TE.
Darqueze Dennard didn't start and had little playing time, but he was the SECOND Bengal to cause a turnover in the playoffs under Marvin Lewis.
Kevin Zeitler was a starter and did well for a rookie.

Now, I understand you said last 4 years. But WJIII wasn't going to start last year. Everyone knew that.
Nor was Ogbuehi.
Dennard was a toss up.

Ross is the only player the last 4 years that could have started.

Oh, and if this helps you feel better, Odell Beckham Jr. didn't play his first game until week 5. Didn't get his first start until week 6. Which was middle of October.

Give. Rookies. Time.
