Hard to give an (A) grade to a draft when 3 of the top 4 picks aren't starting.
While no team is going to hit on every 1st and 2nd rounder, you should clearly expect guys taken in those rounds to at the very least be key contributors.
You need to do some research. I looked up a few well respected franchises 1st round picks from 2001 to 2012 (too early to judge after 2012) and we are discussing 2012.
Seattle - had 13 picks and missed on 8 so hit only 38.5% of 1st rounders. A. Curry, L Jackson, Spenser, Tubbs, J. Stevens, K Robinson, J. Carpenter, K. Jennings.
Colts - Missed on 5 of 11
I think if you look, you will see there are more 1st round misses than you thought by a lot of teams and not just teams bad at drafting like Cleveland
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.
