Dont blame Lou for the Myles Murphy pick

The last decades worth of draft picks show us that. And not just on the defensive side of the ball... 

John Ross
Cedric Ogbuehi 
Billy Price
Dax Hill 
Myles Murphy
Shamar Stewart
Darquez Dennard

It's laughable how bad they have drafted in the first round when they don't have a top 5 no brainer pick. 

I mean I guess you can go that route and do that order we could go this route....

Since the Joe Burrow Era 2020--

3 Starters - 2 LB and an OL that's still in the league

2021 - Chase, Ossai, Sample, McPherson

2022 - Dax has shown he can be a good DB. Its not a bad pick at 31.  CBT,

2023 - Murphy, Turner, Battle, Chase Brown, Yoshi, Jones, Ivey.  ***This to me is a SOLID draft class  and shocking didnt draft in the Top 5....

2024 - Mims, Jenkins, Jackson, All (showed out got hurt), Newtown, Johnson, Lee *** Again solid class and shocking they didnt draft in the Top 5

So have the Bengals had some shit drafts, yes, but so have the Browns who have triple the scouts the Bengals do.

I keep hearing 'Trust Golden'. Are you all aware that other teams have scouts and a GM and the coaches aren't this involved?

In a way yes, but i also blame the Organization for not giving the coaches the time needed to develop them. The lack of scouts takes away from that time. Scouts need to scout while coaches need to coach. With the way we do things, it's alot of work for a coach when they have to try to do both and as we can see, it doesn't always work.
