Of all the disappointments from the 2019 Bengals Price was the worst for me.  I really thought his rookie struggles were do to recovering from an injury and not being able to lift in the offseason.  I was not even expecting a big Pro Bowl season, but I was expecting him to play a huge roll in improving our offensive line.  But he just stunk it up.

We got basically nothing from 4 of our last 5 first round draft picks (Williams, Price, Ross, Ogbuehi).  That kills a team like the Bengals who live by the draft.

:andy: :andy: :andy:

But why did they waste a first round pick on any of these guys. No other team would have taken the injured Ross as high as Bengals and no one else would have taken the other three in first round. Then there is Sample, who might turn into a decent player but who never should have been picked in second round.

Seems to me with these picks the Bengals gambled that these players would turn into bargains as opposed to taking players with pre-draft grade that justified their selection.

Put all of Price's qualities on a board and never take someone like him again in first four rounds.
