While I appreciate the joke, it was reported back then that the Bengals really wanted Ragnow, but he was taken the pick before. They decided to take who they felt was the next-best C.

It's worth noting that Elgton Jenkins (2019) was their honorable mention for C. The Bengals could have taken Jenkins at 42 in 2019, but chose to trade back after Jawaan Taylor, Cody Ford, and Dalton Risner went within just a handful of picks earlier in the 2nd round. As we know, they took Sample in the 2nd round after the trade back. Jenkins went to GB at 44, and he's been playing G there since they have Linsley at C.

Should the Bengals have taken Jenkins in 2019 in hindsight? Probably. But Price had just come off his rookie year and the team likely felt he would continue to improve.
