Whilst there are no players from 2006 still on the Bengals' roster, that Bengals draft class incredibly still has Whitworth in the NFL whilst Joseph and Peko were both on rosters last year as well. In contrast 2008 had everyone other that Pat Sims (2017) out of the League by 2015 and 2007 everyone except Leon Hall (2018) out by 2013.

Pretty amazing that 2009-10 now provide as many of the current roster as 2012-15. That 2012 draft was actually one of the Bengals' best with Dre, Zeitler, Sanu, Marvin Jones and Iloka all starters but the subsequent drafts paved the way for our recent struggles.

For now 2017 is strongly represented but it's not inconceivable that all 7 are gone by next year.

2020 looks like being only the second time this decade, after 2016, that all draftees will make the roster.

If you look at 2012-2015, it is pretty apparent why the team has slid so much...

Hopefully, the trend is heading in the opposite direction with the 2017 draft and the core is being developed.  Remember, they have also made some good UDFA signings along the way.
