Problem is they didn't spend just a 4th round pick on Finley. They spent a 4th and two 6ths on him (they traded up for him).

According to the pick trade value calculator, the Bengals even overpaid for Finley. (106.4 value gave up, 86 value received) Not that anyone is particularly crying over lost 6th rounders, but it's a bit absurd to trade up, using 3 draft picks for 1 QB who has nowhere near NFL level ability.

You can find players in the 4th round who contribute much more than Finley has, so there's no way he's been worth it. The Bengals have gotten Lawson, Billings, Bodine, Boling, and Atkins in the 4th round since 2010.
