Our drafting has sucked lately

I loved Creed Humphrey coming out of college, but the problem is, we were locked in on a RT of the future.  That's an issue of going into the draft looking for specific needs instead of getting the best player.  Smith was very scheme limited coming out, which is a big reason he fell so far.  Honestly, he wouldn't be near as good if he played for a team that didn't get away with holding all day because they're protecting the league poster boy.  We saw how KC was marching up and down the field on the Ravens in the AFCCG until the refs started nailing Smith with holding calls.  After that, the Ravens dominated up front.

Also, KC only has 2 drafted starters on their OL, so it isn't like they are wizards at drafting them.

Ross was a one trick pony. U site what he did in college a lot of us knew it wouldnt translate. His speed was all he had and it was the number 1 reason we took him at 9. It was dumb pick from the get and the bengals and Tobin couldnt keep their minds when they saw his 40 time. (We have to hVe him). Hahaha in what the afc north. Everybody was reaaaaaching for the next tyreke hill when nothing about this guy was tyreke. Ross was a walking cast y u take that at 9 he’s wayyyyy too small why u take that at 9. We didn’t even need him why u take him at 9. He’s a wide receiver with the dropsies why do u take that at 9. It was a dumb pick all the way around it was his speed and speed alone we took him at 9 and I still can’t get that taste out of my mouth. Creed Humphreys biggest resume builder was the fact he could play all five positions instead we go with the injured back carman. Stupid. Smith fell cuz of a heart condition. Don’t care now didn’t care then and neither did the chiefs and they in turn have a top guard and a top center we have neither. Cool. Bengals can’t draft to save their lives when they needs to. They hit late. Great cool. They need to hit on the blue chip rounds and they don’t. Ross hurt carman hurt fisher hurt ogbuehi hurt sample killed us I mean dude tell me when to stop lol
