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.
I remember the Patriots about half a decade ago cutting their first round OT after only a couple years.
You are correct, everyone screws up Draft picks, no matter where they are drafted. We still don't know if Ross or Price will improve
if they can stay healthy. That is their biggest problem and it was when they were drafted. Big dang reason why I don't want us to
trade back and take Tua who is the 2nd best QB in this draft, doesn't matter how good he was when healthy, he is hurt, draft Joe
Burrow and everything will at least be better for awhile even if Burrow isn't great right off the bat.
