I made fun of the FO for drafting project players with high picks period being foreign is just the one bullet point you took and ran with. Look at Simpson and Moch both project players. Get the stick out of your ass Fred maybe you can go beat a gopher with it. (Another timeless Fred joke.)
I'm sure you're going to go on and tell us Simpson wasn't a bust now...
The silly part of your argument is that EVERY team in the league drafts project players. And some of them work out. That is why i don't understand all of you acting like the Bengals are stupid for doing the exact same thing that every other team in the league does. It is juts another example of the Bengal fans that are so obsessed with complaining that they can't even look around at what other teams do. Instead they just claim that if the Bengals did it then it MUST be stupid. And that just makes them look stupid instead of the Bengals.
And, yes, Jerome Simpson is a perfect example of this. Simpson has been more productive than 2 of the 5 WRs taken before him, and 4 of the 9 other WRs taken in the second round that year. Yet the hater crowd still wants to make him the poster boy for the Bengals doing something stupid in the draft. Was he a great pick? No. But he is no different than the picks that every other team in the league misses on, and better than many of them.
