Cedric Ogbuehi was a 1st round pick who was already hurt.
Billy Price was a 1st round pick who was already hurt.
Then you add in Price having a 2nd round projection and being taken in the 1st. Sample having a 4th round projection and being taken in the 2nd.
They traded down and took Zeitler instead of DeCastro. (Bengals used the extra pick on Brandon Thompson, Chandler Jones was the player taken in the original pick spot.)
They traded down and took Joe Mixon instead of Dalvin Cook. (The Bengals used the extra pick on Josh Malone.)
Their drafting is just a mess. It's what happens when you have no scouts and no GM.
When Marvin consistently drafted BPA, he had strengths just about everywhere. And oddly, it worked for him for awhile. But then it wasnt working anymore.
