Still think they were horrible draft picks. 

The Bengals window of opportunity for being a contender was closing with big name FA contracts expiring and needed to play for now. 

Which at that time already had a good OL with Andre Smith, Boling, Zeitler, and Whit. 

Did need to replace Bodine and get a top pass rusher but that is not what happened.

We could have easily tagged Zeitler and signed Whit with a fair offer like he signed as well. 

Thought the whole thing was a slap in Whit's face and believe he took it that way too. 

Put them down as like the Ross pick. Not necessarily saying their talent did not warrant being selected where they went. 

But it just was not in my opinion what the Bengals needed to do at that particular time.  

What was foolish was not drafting OL help for those two early this year.
