Made that list, and actually there were two players who were starters, but they were from the '04 and '07 drafts (Landon Johnson and Chinedum Ndukwe).
They weren't very good, yet they are both still the extreme exceptions to that list. 23 comp picks under Lewis. Those two started a combined 84 games. 3 of the picks are from this year. The other 18 picks started a combined 19 games. When Andre Caldwell (14 of those 19 starts) is the third best on your list, your list sucks. Lol
20 comp picks under Marvin (sans 2017) spent a total of 32 years on the Bengals (I counted partial seasons as a season), being active for 350 games, and starting 103 of them. The 17 picks not named Landon Johnson, Chinedum Ndukwe, or Andre Caldwell spent a total of 20 years on the Bengals, being active for 182 games, starting 5 of them.
-18 never started a full seasons total worth of games in their Bengals career.
-16 never started more than 1 game in their Bengals career.
-14 never started a single game in their Bengals career.
-8 were never even active for a single game in their Bengals career.
And some guys start here because we don't sign free agents and our roster was bad. Bodine would have NEVER started as a rookie on most NFL teams. Heck - we bench rookies at other positions who are better than Bodine their rookie year.
