This is one way to look at it. 

The other is this organization didn't win a playoff game after Paul Brown's passing for almost 30 years. Then they sucked so bad they got Joe Burrow first pick in draft and Chase 5th the next draft, and fortunes turned around pretty quick for couple of seasons. But then no playoffs the following season, and currently 1-4 with the worst defense in football after what appears to be now poor drafts and questionable free agent moves. 

This latter is what the OP is referring to more than anything, is that the Bengals don't invest enough in evaluation positions so to speak to help keep a better constant flow of quality players going through the revolving doors.
