Of course we chose Jonah

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.

Would you then say it is hindsight and lame to praise the Bengals for drafting Atkins in round 4? According to your way too simple of logic you have to say "yes" to my question since you suggest it is lame to have an opinion about a past pick knowing the outcome. Hell, it's a common talking point among NFL fans that drafts shouldn't be graded on draft day, but rather seasons later. Thus it's fine to be critical of the pick and isn't lame at all.

Yes, one can look a organizations and say many things with picks that don't work out. Doing so isn't lame.
