This presumes that the 5 of 15 who earned starting positions on the Bengals' roster and elsewhere (Thurman, Brooks, Johnson, Maualuga, Rivers---not even counting Pollack) is too low a percentage.
Is it? Is one in three evidence of a failure, by NFL standards?
Doesn't seem that way. In how many of Marvin's years has LB play been suspect? How is his Pro Bowl MLB-less defensive team currently top ten in at least three categories including: Ave. Points Allowed, Yards Per Play, and First Downs Allowed? Does that correlate in any way to a 33% positional draft success rate?
Does signing a Dhani Jones factor into the assessment of Marvin's eye for LBs, considering Jones was lured after a lackluster 8-8 season marred by offseason arrests?
Meh. That's what a bye week'll do to ya.
