There's a difference in the Bengals' BPA and what others consider BPA. I didn't consider Ross BPA, I thought he was a reach. Before you say someone is "obviously wrong" you've got to remember, this is all opinion based. And there's a lot of strong opinions in this thread. But none of it will come out in the wash for 3-5 years.
And, yes, I'm aware the Bengals are professionals and have a much better scouting department than me watching a handful of college games and youtube highlight videos. On the other hand... Margus Hunt.
You can add a lot of first and second round names the Bengals have selected that were awful choices or turned out to be bad in some way. Akili Smith, Kenny Irons. I think there was a guy who we selected in the 2nd one year who got shot or something and never played a snap for the Bengals. Something Weatherspoon I think.
BPA probably would have been Jonathan Allen or Reuben Foster or one of the OSU guys.
