If the Bengals had successful drafts the last 3 years they wouldn't be 0-8 and we still would have ML around here. The thing is though the Bengals made bad drafting decisions and it is showing. Its like the Browns ended up making the picks for the Bengals or something the last few years. 

Bingo  

It's been said hundreds of times but anyways, this team is still reeling from the giant whiff of the 2015 draft. Of those 9 picks 1 is still on the team - Uzomah. For a team that relies so heavily on the draft a FUBAR like that resonates for years after.

Then take the 2017 draft into consideration. #1 Ross he can't stay on the field. #2 Mixon umm ok #3 Willis - gone #4 Lawson - see Ross #4A Malone - gone #4B Glasgow ok.

Then 2018 #1 Price, serious questions #2 Bates still hope I guess ? #3A Hubbard - good one #3B Jefferson - gone #4 Walton - gone.

2015 - 6 picks in first four rounds - none still on team

2017 - again 6 picks in first four rounds - 2 are gone, 2 can't stay on the field

2018 - 5 picks in first four rounds - 2 are gone, and 1 is regressing badly
 
You simply can't miss on that many of your picks in the first 4 rounds of three drafts !
