Able to produce 2 back to back slam dunk draft classes.
The Bengals drafting at best since 2015 has been porous pre
Joe Burrow.
Going off the 1st 3 RDs dating to 2015 this roster has very little
To show for it. Too many busts like Price, Willis, Vigil, and the 2015 draft class have really helped cemented last place finishes.
No matter who the Bengals draft at 5 of the big 3 it will be
The 1st time in along time the Bengals potentially can hit
On 3 1st RD cornerstones ( provided Jonah can stay healthy)
Any kind of revisiting of the playoffs you can trace back potentially
To the 2020 2021 drafts.
Agreed, its not just about one good draft you need 2/3 in a row where you find ideally 3 quality starters (not just roster filler).
That run of drafts we had from 2009 to 2012/2013 really set us up to be competitive for the much of that decade.
Really need to hit on that first round selection...somehow we always do good with our 2nd round pick but in the years when we consistently did well on first two picks really starts to set things up (Eifert/Bernard, Green/Dalton, Gresham/Dunlap, Smith/Mauluaga)
