They listed the last 6 first round picks who have all gotten hurt in that article...
Ogbuehi was still recovering from an ACL injury when they drafted him.
Price tore his pec at the scouting combine when they drafted him.
Ross already had a torn labrum that he waited until after the combine to get surgery for. (Not even mentioning his various other college injures.)
Burrow wasn't injury flag, but it was about as predictable as possible that the OL they were trotting out there was going to get him killed.
That's half of those 6 that were *ALREADY* injured when the Bengals drafted them, and another they got injured through predictable negligence.
