Until the focus of this owner changes to winning, and he starts making moves towards that end we could have the top 5 picks in the draft and it won't mean a thing.

Yes, I know that, but what I meant was "recent" drafting. The Bengals were slotted in the 21-24 range seven times since the 2006 draft (counting 2012 because Bengals traded down from 21 to 27 to get Zeitler and Pick 17 was the Raiders' pick via Palmer trade).

Constantly making the playoffs and losing in the first round gets old, just like constantly picking in the top 10 would get old. Just like seeing the same 3-4 teams from the AFC always in the Super Bowl gets old. Stagnation is boring, gimme some variety.
