I didn't say that anywhere. I said take the surest bet (knowing the Bengals track record--i don't trust them taking even 2 other guys that "could" be good). If he doesn't pan out, then it's either crappy coaching that couldn't teach him technique that he needed to get better or, he simply wasn't going to be good enough because of him.
You have an unrealistic expectation of the Bengals picking a guy later in the draft that could be good and i want them to take the guy that gives them less chance of screwing the pick up.
Re: Higgins; no one ever said they missed on every pick. They've just missed badly on 1st round guys that weren't top 5ish.

Quantity isn't always better than quality, especially when it's the Bengals picking.
