Yes they do. I still think a lot of the Bengals problems go back to having a bad scouting department. It is easier to hit on earlier picks because those earlier picks are the consensus best players. The further down the list you go, the better your scouting department needs to be. Sometimes the guys you pick just arent that good. Some fans will say stuff like "The Bengals spent a 1st round pick on Myles Murphy so the coaching staff needs to coach up Murphy and make him better" Maybe Myles Murphy wasn't a good draft pick to begin with and cant be coached up to become a good football player. Maybe he is just young and needs more time. Its not as easy as saying "he should be better because the Bengals spent a 1st round pick on him" The Bengals spent a 2nd round pick on Drew Sample. Why doesnt the coaching staff coach him up and make him a #1 TE? Why didnt they coach up Jackson Carman and make him better? You could ask the same question about every day 1 or day 2 draft pick that turns out to not be that great of a pick. Ultimately, I think the problem goes back to scouting.
