Corey Davis is one not picked up. 3rd pick of draft DL from SF also no option picked up.

Then you look later in the draft and see the great pics by other teams. We missed and missed badly, so did a lot of others.

Absolutely.

Let's look at the guys most were considering for Bengals:
- John Ross
- Solomon Thomas
- Derek Barnett
- OJ Howard
- Mike Williams
- Corey Davis
- Leonard Fournette
- Malik Hooker
- Jonathan Allen
- Hasaan Reddick

These are the guys I remember most mocked to the Bengals. Practically no one was projecting a QB to the Bengals, so don't even bring Mahomes into the discussion. It was never a consideration by the Bengals.

None of the pass rushers listed have been double-digit sack guys. Fournette has underwhelmed. The WRs haven't been elite. Hooker hasn't become a ball hawk FS.
