I actually agree with Fred, for the most part here. If Ogbuehi and Fisher weren't absolute busts, PA might still have a decent body of work to look at over his tenure here. He wasn't great with centers in general, but that's somewhat manageable if the two tackles pan out. He presided over at least two absolutely outstanding lines in his time here.
Those two picks left this team snakebitten for years and may continue to do so for a couple more. Those are the things that ended him here. He got away from the traditional Bengals/AFC North big, nasty OT prototype and went with two finesse guys from extremely gimmicky college offenses. It was beyond stupid, to be honest and I still cannot understand it.
The 2015 draft ranks right up there with the 2015 Pittsburgh WC game and the 2005 Palmer knee game as days in modern Bengal history I'd erase if I had a time machine.
