You drafted a Guard in the 1st Round...he developed...now Pay Zeitler!

Definitely true. I assume you mean proven talent = players already in the NFL, so I will say it would also make sense to trade picks to get more selections in the top 4 rounds.
Given the Bengals' track record of making bad picks and/or not developing them well enough, perhaps it would be more worthwhile for the Bengals to trade their 5th rounder and below to get another 1-2 picks in rounds 1-4.
They also need to quit trying to draft projects. They suck at completing said projects.
