I realize as Bengals fans we forget there are people within front offices in the NFL who are actually held accountable for making bad high-round picks, though!
To spin this positive, I have to admit that I, and other around here, do take it as a sort of "good job" that Dalton is still employed despite being taken a round later than Locker, Gabbert and Ponder.
That would be a false equivalency.
7th rounders can play well in the NFL. Just fewer do than 1st rounders.
The real reason would be "You just suck at your job and struggle to evaluate and acquire talent"
