'17 Ross, there are lots of excuses, but the fact is he has 500 yards in three seasons.
'18 Price. To me one of the more shocking busts. I thought that even if he was not a great player he would be a decent starter at OG or OC. Last year he had not been working out over the off season so I gave him a pass. He has been the single biggest disappointment to me.
'19 Williams. I love this pick. One of my favorite in many years. I just pray that he won't be another injury riddled bust.
Add in Ogbuehi in '16 and that would hurt any team. But a team like the Bengals that lives by the draft can not survive that much failure at the very top of the draft.
Ogbuehi was '15 - '16 was WJIII, so there was one decent pick in amongst that lot.
(Even that was mishandled as he should have come off IR instead of Peerman. That way we wouldn't have needed to overpay Kirkpatrick as we'd have known what we had.)
