Here are some examples specific to TE that are related to Bengals first round TE picks.

We took Gresham in 2010 and Gronk, Graham, Hernandez, and Pitta all were drafted after. You could make an argument talent wise all were as good if not better than Gresham.

We take Eiffert in the 1st in 2013 and Ertz, Kelce, Reed are all drafted after.

We as fans always fall for this narrative that these first round guys are far and away better than the other guys. The reality is the draft is an inexact science and believing one guy is simply far and away better is fool's gold.

you know what shuts down your entire argument ? the fact any pick at 9 you can say the exact same thing.
