Maybe they are not specifically complaining about 2017, but they are lumping it in with the weaker drafts we have had in the last few years.
I think the weak draft class was the one where we reached for offensive linemen in the first 2 rounds to replace our aging tackles. Outside of that I don't think the Bengals have slipped in terms of draft talent evaluation.
On the flip side I think we can all agree that free agency evaluation has a lot to be desired.
