There's roughly over 16,000 NCAA players eligible for the draft every year, and only 64 go in the first 2 rounds (the cream of the crop). That's 192 people drafted in the first 2 rounds 2015-2017 out of roughly 48,000 eligible players, or 0.4%.

In the 2015-2017 drafts, there were 19 Pro Bowlers in the first two rounds (out of the 192 total).

So even if you look at just the cream of the crop out of college the previous three years, still only 9.89% are Pro Bowlers.

The Bengals certainly don't get the most out of the players they draft, but the argument that "they were highly rated in college" is a bad one.

The worst NFL player is one of the best to ever play the game.
