The fact that there are exceptions to the general rule does not change the fact that a late round draft pick is much more likely to suck than a high round draft pick.
Oh come on...off the top of your head, name 3 QBs taken in the 6th round that aren't first-ballot HOFers!
Honestly, if the Bengals traded their 1st and 2nd round picks for three or more 6th rounders every year I think we'd see a dynsty before you know it. Name a single 1st or 2nd round pick the Bengal drafted that has contributed to this team in the past decade. I'll wait.
But seriously, let's replace our 1st and 2nd round starters with 5th and 6th rounders we COULD have taken.
Dalton -> Greg McElroy
AJ Green -> Ryan Whalen
Gio -> Rex Burkhead
Wait a minute...these guys were already on the Bengals and we let them walk (or in Rex's case we DON'T let him RUN)! What the hell !!!?!
