yeah, 2015 was just plain awful
To be fair, you have to look at the 1st rounders that failed, and see if the Bengals picking them was an outlier, or if other teams had them ranked as high. John Ross was going to be a 1st rounder, regardless of if we picked him. So were Ced and Price. The fact they didn't pan out is just life in the NFL and the crapshoot of the draft. Some want to make it seem like we were the only team that would be stupid enough to draft these players. Every team has 1st and 2nd rounders that don't pan out.
