(Rhetorically) How many times has the FO passed on a player to draft someone else only to have the one they skipped have a great year for the team that actually drafted him? The Bengals seem ill equipped to draft well. The laws of chance award them a keeper every once in awhile though.

In 2010 we passed on Dez Bryant and took Gresham instead.
In 2012 we passed on DeCastro, traded down and took Zeitler. In this draft we also took Devon Still in the 2nd and passed on LB Levonte David, and we took Sanu in the 3rd while passing on WR TY Hilton.
In 2013 we passed on LeVon Bell and took Gio Bernard instead.
In 2013 we also selected Margus Hunt in the 2nd round passing on many other better players.


Of course hindsight might be 20/20, except that nobody except the Bengals placed Bernard ahead of Bell and many Bengals fans wanted Bryant over Gresham. We also wanted DeCastro over Zeitler.
