That draft had a chance to be epic, as the Bengals had three first rounders.  Blados was the last of the three.  LB Ricky Hunley never signed and was dealt to Denver, and DE Pete Koch did basically nothing.  Don't remember if it was performance or injury related though.

This draft added a ton of starters and good backups...…...Boomer was AFC MVP on the way to the SB

Just wonder how good it could have been if only one of the 1st rounders had been a stud

Hundley held out, Blados was a part time starter and Pete Koch as Lap says "looked like Tarzan and played like Jane"
