Hypothetical 2023 review of 2020 draft

Joe Burrow -- A
Joe fit what the Bengals needed at the time and was a no-brainer can't miss pick.

Tee Higgins -- B-
Many of his fellow receivers from the 2020 draft class have become top performers in the league. Bengals could have drafted O-line here as they still have these issues in 2023. They also could have drafted (insert receiver A) who is an absolute stud.

Logan Wilson -- C
Steady starter, but nothing special. A slightly better Nick Vigil. He makes plays now and then, but is often caught out of position. The uptick in competition level made it difficult for him to maintain the production he had in college

ADG -- D+
Signs pointed to impending injuries that have derailed any chance he had of success in the NFL. 'Bone on Bone' as they call it. He was never able to stay on the field for more than half a season

Kahild Kareem -- B-
Stepped in to fill void by departure of Dunlap. Good value for when taken. Is an average to above average player.

Hakeem Adenji -- D (no longer with team)
Bengals took Adenji as they needed line help in 2020. He never made the jump to success in the NFL. Was released in preseason.

Markus Bailey -- B+
Despite injury concerns, Markus has been a steady contributor for the Bengals. Great value for a 7th round pick.


OVERALL GRADE: C-
The Bengals hit the easy homerun in Joe Burrow, but missed opportunities to get players that could protect him. (insert player B) would have been a better option at 33 as Tee Higgins has been average in his career and there were also other receivers who have had greater upside since entering the league.. The linebackers were a necessity at the time of the draft, but the Bengals missed on (Insert player C) and (Insert player D) who would have been better value.


I don’t understand how Tee is average. Dudes tied with Hopkins and Watkins stat wise and highlights are bat shit crazy. With AJ in the wr room, hell even Boyd, they’ll refine his route running to make him a complete receiver.
