Bengals have used a lot of high draft picks on D-linemen who have flopped. By far our worst position in the draft over the last few years.
In 2010 we got both Dunlap and Atkins in the same draft. After that we took
'11...Dontay Moch in the 3rd
'12...Devin Still (2nd), Brandon Thompson (3rd)
'13...Margus Hunt (2nd)
'14...Will Clarke (3rd)
'15...Marcus Hardison (4th)
'16...Andrew billings (4th)
I remember how excited many of us (including myself) were to get both Still and Thompson in the same draft. Still sucked and Thomspon has been just a guy, although may still have something to give. I'm not sure what's gone wrong in their development or evaluation, but this issue will hurt once Dunlap and Geno begin the inevitable decline due to age.
All that said, this is a great year to replenish the depleted tealent at that spot. I'm starting to like Malik McDowell as a guy with the size and versatility they like.
