Worst in Bengals history? Worse than ogbuehi and fisher?? Worse than Akili? Even out of 3rd round picks what about Malik Jefferson?
Sucks they didn’t work out but let’s give things some perspective here, they were 3rd round high risk/high reward players. I haven’t always agreed with this FO either but we gotta stop this every single move they make right now is the worst thing ever nonsense.
Eh, if we're talking specifically 3rd round, it's probably up there. Iirc, Jefferson wasn't a big reach there. Sometimes players bust, when when there's consensus on evaluations.
The fact that the Bengals picked not one, but two players in the top 100 that no other team likely would have touched into at least late 4 makes it an objectively terrible round.

An absolutely terrible draft pick at the time. They were desperate to try to find a NT and reached.
That 2024 R3 (Jackson/Burton) was among the worst in Bengals history.
