Things were so bad with the team that they could land both Burrow and Chase in the draft. Both those players contributed to the successful AFC Championship and Super Bowl run. Remove those two guys from the equation and the Duke/Zac era has had more failures than success when drafting.
The pick didn't work out so the criticism is fair.
None of that changes the fact we were in desperate need of a Left Tackle and Jonah was high on the board. You can look at any organization and say the same things with picks that don't work out. That's why the draft is a crap shoot. How many teams passed on Geno Atkins before he went in the 4th round? No one knows the future. Had the Bengals been the only team grading Jonah that high, that would be one thing. They weren't. I'm not a JW fan, but hindsight is 20/20 amd lame.
