Its the reason the Bengals are failures in the NFL.
I'd advocate a draft where the Bengals start now to acquire draft picks to improve their odds of finding impact players. They've done better with 2ed, 3rd and 4th rounders than with 1sts. The new coaching staff inherited tons of dead wood from past drafts, so they deserve a chance to clean house with new picks. AJ, Dunlop, Atkins and others won't get the team into contention, so trade them for picks.
No idea if a QB is their first pick in 2020, as best they can they should go BPA. They have the holes to absorb new starters right now.
The last impact player to be drafted was also the last player to be drafted in the top 5.
