According to the pick trade value calculator, the Bengals even overpaid for Finley. (106.4 value gave up, 86 value received) Not that anyone is particularly crying over lost 6th rounders, but it's a bit absurd to trade up, using 3 draft picks for 1 QB who has nowhere near NFL level ability.

You can find players in the 4th round who contribute much more than Finley has, so there's no way he's been worth it. The Bengals have gotten Lawson, Billings, Bodine, Boling, and Atkins in the 4th round since 2010.

5 players in 10 years (and just being generous given I wouldn't count Billings, Bodine). We've done well in the 4th round but I wouldn't expect much from a 4th round pick. 

I forgot about the trade up. Thought we traded up for MJ. 

I'm not here defending Finley or promoting him to keep his job. I'm just saying personally, he won't hear any shade from me after that Steelers win.
