The only real flops have been:
T - Cody Ford - Bills - 46.4
T - Tevin Jenkins - Bears - 47.5
G - Forrest Lamp - Chargers - 49.4 in 2020

It is interesting that during the 2021 draft quite a few posters were upset the Bengals passed on Tevin Jenkins.
I really think there's no merit in going back and lamenting that the Bengals didn't draft this particular OT/OG/OC or that particular one. It's easy to go back and say the Bengals made a mistake in not drafting Creed Humphrey or Christian Barmore. But that's only because we have 20/20 hindsight. A lot of teams passed on such OL and had flops like Tevin Jenkins listed higher on their draft boards.
Going back and lamenting what ifs serves little purpose. We should be grateful that the Bengals got a couple of homeruns in Ja'Marr Chase and Evan McPherson, two that fueled a trip to the Super Bowl.
