2018 Draft Rewind

[Bengalbug]

2012 Dre Kirkpatrick DB Alabama
Kevin Zeitler OG Wisconsin
2013 21 Tyler Eifert TE Notre Dame 1-time Pro Bowler
2014 24 Darqueze Dennard DB Michigan State
2015 21 Cedric Ogbuehi OT Texas A&M
2016 24 William Jackson III DB Houston
2017 9 John Ross WR Washington
2018 21 Billy Price C Ohio State
2019 11 Jonah Williams OT Alabama

So since 2012 we

A) lost our best pick to FA (Zeitler)
B) lost our last 5 (I think) first rounds picks to injury first year
C) lost a premier TE to injuries over his career
D) had two middling DBs.
E) 1 Bengal pro bowl season out of a possible 39 seasons worth of talent drafted in the first round since 2012.

I guess that sums it up. No wonder we have a below average team.
