I was just thinking of the comp picks from the past give years or so (Flowers, Westbrooks, Fragel, TJ Johnson, Dawson, Hardison).
Out of those, TJ Johnson has been the best but he's been a backup with about 1-2 good games.
Having proven players leave to get the above players has looked to be a poor decision.
Were Landon Johnson, Andre Caldwell, Chinedum Ndukwe, Bernard Scott comp picks?
If so, then I clearly was wrong about comp picks not making a good O/D impact, but there sure hasn't been one in awhile.
The bigger question that needs to be answered is were good NFL players available when we made the comp picks. If so, it is not the comp pick philosophy, it is poor drafting that is the issue. I have a busy few days, but when I get time I will try to look back since the new CBA (2011) and get some facts
I am so ready for 2024 season. I love pro football and hoping for a great Bengals year. Regardless, always remember it is a game and entertainment.
