You aren't looking around the NFL very much then.
As much as we hate to mention Shazier, he is a very good LB.
Malcolm Jenkins has been playing in the NFL forever now and has always been a good DB.
From the 2017 draft, Lattimore was drafted by the Saints and is one of the reasons they have an improved defense this year and he's picked 5 passed and defended 17 this year as a rookie. Good numbers.
Also from 2017 draft Elflein (starting at Center for the Vikings now and a player the Bengals passed on 3 times in the draft and he's clearly miles better than Bodine).
From the 2016 draft don't mention Joey Bosa (defensive rookie of the year, 22 sacks in first 2 years) or Zek Elliott (1st team All-pro as a rookie) or WR Michael Thomas (pro bowl this year)
Then there are guys like Nate Ebner, whom you probably never heard of, but he's only toting around a couple of SB rings.
I'm not even going back in time very far, just the last few years really. Surely none of those guys could have helped the Bengals.
