Then I'll let you all decide how many have even ended up being CLOSE to the player we needed/expected when drafted. How about ones you would say exceeded expectations?
We all know the hit rate for the Bengals OL picks but the league as a whole is barely any better. The NFL is desperately in need of good OL which is why everyone was hyped about this draft class. I wouldn't complain if the Bengals end up with a couple more OL picks from this very deep OL class.
As for the argument against drafting OL because past failures is a bad one. Offensive Tackle is a premium position and should always be considered with a high pick because the bust rate jumps way up outside of the top 10 then again outside the 1st round.
