Typical Bengal banger. Act like the Bengals are worse at drafting than other teams even though they got a better WR in the second round than multiple teams taking WRs ahead of them in the first round.

EVERY TEAM IN THE LEAGUE passed on DeSean Jackson. Multiple team took other WRs while he was still on the board. MOst people here did not want Jackson because he was too small. They only fell in love with him with the benefir of 20/20 hindsight.
BTW the exact same Eagles who took Jackson selected WR Freddie Mitchell (60 fewer career receptions that Jerome Simpson) in the first round of the '01 draft when Chad Johnson was available. But, of course, you have to act like that never happened to promote the narrative that the Bengals "always" chose wrong while other teams never do.
