WJ3 got hurt in camp though, not an injury when drafted.
Dennard was drafted with Jones, Kirkpatrick, and Newman all in front of him.
The Bengals were definitely guilty of drafting 1st round CBs with 2-3 good starters already on the team, which would make it hard for that player to get playing time.

Just like with Ross, the Bengals preemptively draft players sometimes to replace a starter in 2-3 years, therefore not contributing much early on. When Ross was drafted, the Bengals had Green, LaFell, and Boyd as the starting 3.

Still...the results have not been good. And I agree with you that that is their strategy.

If you don't use free agency to sign external impact players, it puts A LOT of pressure on drafting.
