No, the Bengals are dumb because they, unlike the rest of the NFL, prefer to draft bigger taller wide outs to such a point that ***height matters more than the ability to run routes, play against press, get separation, or catch the ball. You know, general football skills.***

Now look at my post, and then look at your reply once more. Did AJ Green have more than just height? Yes, he had football skills. So how did you ever manage to interpret that into "drafting AJ Green was a mistake"? Other than intentionally trolling or just trying to find somewhere you can start an argument, that is.
In your haste to try to turn it around with AJ Green (the only good WR the Bengals have drafted in 14 years), you apparently didn't read my post at all. There's nothing wrong with drafting tall WRs. The problem comes when you get so tunnel sighted that you're drafting WRs *only* because they're tall. I said draft football skills, not just height. Did AJ Green have football skills? Yes? Then I didn't say they shouldn't have drafted him.
When you've drafted 19 WRs in 13 years, and only one of them has over 2,100 career receiving yards? MAYBE you need to broaden your horizons and try to look for more than just height.
I'm not even sure why you're trying to make this an argument point. Is there something wrong with wishing they aimed for football skills ahead of just pure height? Otherwise we could totally just have a WR corps of like.. 5 or 6 Matt Jones and Mario Urrutias and call it a day.
