Trading down in the 3rd makes more sense!!

Housh was a 7th rounder and lately Brandon Wilson and Auden Tate.

But I do like what you are saying as the mid rounds are the sweet spot of this Draft for WR's, OL and LB's.

1) Housh was 18 years ago.
2) I didn't say they don't hit every now and then, but the likelihood of hitting on 6th and 7th rounders is low.

Over the past 10 years, there have been 27 picks in the 6th and 7th round for the Bengals.
Out of those, here are the following who "hit":
- Rex Burkhead (2013)
- Clayton Fejedelem (2016)
- Brandon Wilson (2017)
- Auden Tate (2018)

14% chance across both rounds for the Bengals.

Meanwhile, there have been 14 5th round picks in the same time frame.
Out of those, here are the following who "hit":
- Marvin Jones (2012)
- George Iloka (2012)
- AJ McCarron (2014)
- CJ Uzomah (2015)
- Jake Elliott (2017)
- Davontae Harris (2018)
- Darius Phillips (2018)

50% hit rate for the Bengals in the 5th round.
