I think that is really where this whole discussion stems from, this idea that the Bengals are so bad a potential 1st overall picks should want to go somewhere else but in reality all of those teams at the top of the draft are as bad or worse in recent history. It's not a narrative based in facts but rather one that is easy to sell to the general public because of perception.

I think Hobson is trying to allude to this but just not doing it in a completely honest fashion.

Absolutely.

When it comes purely to organizations, I'd rather be with the Bengals over the teams I listed.
The Bengals are absolutely not the worst of the bunch.

I think people make other orgs like the Browns and Dolphins seem better due to how good they were 25+ years ago. They want them to get back to greatness even if they are nowhere close.
