Not true. In 2016 Brandon LaFell had a better year (64 rec, 862 yds) than Marvin Jones ever had with the Bengals...….And here we go again, another thread about one topic (Bengals 2019 draft) derailed by a poster who can't do anything but complain about the Bengals front office and past moves.
Before we get into how many playoff games other teams have won in the last 27 years let me give you my prediction regarding the '19 draft......Some of them will underachieve and disappoint while some of them will succeed. The draft is a crap shoot. Even the best teams have high picks that flop, and every year there are some players from the lower rounds who become stars.
Personally I feel that Williams is one of the safest picks we have made in a long time. I predict he will be a long time starter somewhere on the O-line. After that who knows? Traeyvon Williams could be a huge star like last year's undrafted free agent Phillip Lindsey (1065 yds, 5.4 avg) or 5th rounder Jordan Howard in 2016 (1313, 5.2). Renell Wren was the 125th pick of the draft while Geno Atkins was the 120th.
Literally anything could happen with any of these players.
