Just like the Ced-Fisher draft. That draft was devoid of o-line talent like no draft I have ever seen.
It’s an axiom for me - make your picks with the strongest and deepest position group(s) or you’ll be sorry.
This year is special because OL and WR are really talented and deep. For once, things should work out for the Bengals!
Yea, the top 3 WRs in that draft were Mike Williams, Corey Davis, and John Ross. None of them have become bona-fide WR1s.
Davis and Williams are good WR2s though.
I still wish the Bengals had taken OJ Howard in that draft. He's averaged ~40 yards per game while sharing TE reps with Brate. While that doesn't sound like a lot, that averages to 640 yards over 16 games, which would be Top 10.
Zac Taylor 2019-2020: 6 total wins
Zac Taylor 2021-2022: Double-digit wins each season, plus 5 postseason wins
Zac Taylor 2023: 9 wins despite losing Burrow half the season
Zac Taylor 2024: Started 1-4. Ended 9-8 but barely missed playoffs
Changes needed to do better in Sept/Oct moving forward.
