The problem is that the team whiffed on key top picks that were suppose to replace departing quality players like Whit, Marvin Jones, Sanu, Zeitler, etc.

Whiffing on the OL repeatedly has really hurt the team as has whiffing on LBers. Those are the Bengals major weak spots. The team is still in the same spot where it could really use 3 new LBers.

The Ross whiff is felt when AJ is injured. Ross has only looked AJ like in 1 out of 43 games since he was drafted and that's just a huge drop off. The Bengals had chances to draft Shuster or Michael Thomas, as well as other WRs who turned out to be good NFL players.

 

Nice post. And that's the crux of the problem.

Then, not signing free agents compounds it.
