Bengals have had a lot of years where they drafted high and totally blown their picks, and watched other teams drafting later hit homeruns. If we're talking the top pick, or top five, I could understand fans rooting to lose. But rooting to lose in order to pick higher in the teens (or the 40s and 70s)?
It is a statistical fact that players drafted in higher slots have better careers overall. Sure there will be outliers, but I would have thought that EVERY fan would know this?
I am surely not alone in remembering Frank Ragnow, awesome center for years, being taken immediately before us by the Lions. We settled on Billy Price, if that doesn't convince anyone, nothing will.
