Interesting fact about Bengal first round picks.
The Bengals have drafted 3 Pro Bowl players (Green, Eifert, Gresham) in the first round over the last ten years. That is 17th in the league but it is a six way tie for 17th. So only 10 teams have fewer.
Only 9 teams have more than 4.
The Vikings and Cowboys have the most (7), and 4 teams are tied for last with just 1 (Bal, Tenn, Jax, Ari)
The Browns (4) have one more than the Bengals, but they have had 15 first round picks in the last 10 years.
The Bengals have the same number as the Patriots (3), but NE has only had 7 first round picks.
Please don't start on how meaningless Pro Bowl selections are. That was the only quick, simple way I could compare all the teams. It would take forever for me to calculate something like "games started" or "seasons as starter".
