7) Bengals hemorrhaging talent (again)

Last year, it was Marvin Jones and pro's pro Mohamed Sanu. This year, it's offensive linemen Andrew Whitworth and Kevin Zeitler. Cincy keeps losing really impactful players and good character guys. It's unacceptable.
Whitworth has been one of the best (and most underappreciated) offensive linemen in football in recent years. In the 2015 draft, the Bengals spent their first two picks on offensive tackles (Cedric Ogbuehi and Jake Fisher) -- a not-so-subtle indication that they were worried about Whitworth, who turned 35 in December, getting up in years. Whitworth responded by notching first-team All-Pro honors in 2015 and earning Pro Bowl invites in each of the past two seasons. Meanwhile, Zeitler has established himself as one of the better guards in football -- as evidenced by the Browns making the 27-year-old the highest-paid player at the position ($60 million over five years). That's a whole lotta high-grade beef leaving Cincy's O-line.
The Bengals just missed the playoffs for the first time since 2010. Unfortunately, I see them doing so again in 2017.

Dude, you're a riot.  I'm sure that you're also a legend in your own mind.  The Browns have had 26 picks in the past two drafts..  That's close to almost 2 complete drafts per year, for two years in a row.  You have no room to be bangin' on the Bengals for not being able to pay all of the great talent that they have developed the past several years.

Hell, just take a look at how the Browns have drafted in the 1st round.  They haven't hit on a 1st round pick since Thomas, Mack, and Hayden.

Kind of looks like a who's who of "where are they today?". 

You're just like any other dorky Cleveland fan, probably goobering all over the internet last year about how Tyrell Pryor was going to be the next Randy Moss, take the Browns to the promised land, blah, blah, blah.  Where is Pryor today??  Definitely not a Brown.
