Being a Bengals fan is a rough path...


Let's be honest.  With the benefit of hindsight it is easy to us teh picks of 31 teams to fond one better than one single team.

You all want to pint out how brilliant Seattle was for taking Metcalf, but none of you mention that they wasted their first round pick on a DE that was healthy but only had 3 tackles in 11 games.

And you want to talk about how WRs for every other team perform well as rookies but ignore that the New England Patriots first round pick WR only had 105 yards in 8 games.

And, finally, anyone who judges a player by his rookie season does not know much about thre NFL.  Drew Sample may be a bust, but none of us know yet.  If you disagree I can post dozens of examples to prove you wrong.  Funny thing is that amny of the people here who squeal about taking Sample in the second round were also saying calling for us to draft Mack Wilson 3 rounds higher than every NFL team had him rated.

The Bengals do need to draft better, but trying to look smart by using hindsight and cherry picking is just silly.
