It was one of those Bengal moments where an average fun says 'not again'. Zeitler was pretty good though I think they were similar in talent but DeCastro goes to pro-bowl as Steelers are view differently compared to Bengals.
here is why being a Bengal fan is painful at times...just read this article.

Just looking at the title makes me sad.
I didn't hate the Zeitler pick, but he wasn't on my radar until after we picked him. DeCastro was though. He was considered a technician and fundamentally sound at the position. Glenn as the 2nd pick would have been very sweet.
I honestly think that Paul Alexander was more like "We don't need that guy, with my coaching we can take anyone!" Hence why we let Zeitler go and kept Kirkpatrick.
Hell, if Zeitler and Glenn were the picks I would have been OK with it. I will say that if Zeitler was better than DeCastro, then why did we let him go in FA? You don't let those guys leave. Just a head scratcher.
