gregcook68 Posted April 27, 2022 Report Share Posted April 27, 2022 Saw a thread on FB Bengals group asking for opinions on what draft pick turned out to be the biggest flop in franchise history. Picks like Akili Smith, John Ross, David Klinger, Billy Price etc. From someone who's been following since franchise birth, I don't see any pick playing out any worse than the 1976 first round pick of Archie Griffin, TWO TIME HEISMAN TROPHY WINNER!!

Stripes Posted April 27, 2022 Report Share Posted April 27, 2022 Greg Cook :) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AMPHAR Posted April 27, 2022 Report Share Posted April 27, 2022 I don’t know about the worse but there have been some great draft picks over the years. Munoz, Green, Chase those dudes were expected to be franchise changers and proved 1st season. Shame AJ never got Super Bowl. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wraith Posted April 27, 2022 Report Share Posted April 27, 2022 Akili Smith, not just because he busted but looking at what might have been with the Saints deal. Rumor has it that they offered the Bengals more than they ended up giving the WFT (6 picks in that years draft, a first and third in the next year's) to move down to 12. What could we have done with that haul???? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ArmyBengal Posted April 27, 2022 Report Share Posted April 27, 2022 Agree with Akili Smith. That pick fucked this franchise over in more than one way. The ultimate, "What could have been" situation. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AMPHAR Posted April 27, 2022 Report Share Posted April 27, 2022 Burrow was another great pick. But getting QBs like Boomer and Dalton in the 2nd rounds was a great piece of drafting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TJJackson Posted April 28, 2022 Report Share Posted April 28, 2022 biggest bust was Greg Cook Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AMPHAR Posted April 28, 2022 Report Share Posted April 28, 2022 Just think if they would have convinced Boomer to stick around. Went with Troy Vincent, Daryl Williams and Carl Pickens? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
COB Posted April 28, 2022 Report Share Posted April 28, 2022 Tie between Cook and Akili. The combined trauma from those two epic busts gave Mike PTSD and I think affected his team building strategy for years. And not for the better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
COB Posted April 28, 2022 Report Share Posted April 28, 2022 So pumped for this draft. Get pumped! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HoosierCat Posted July 18, 2022 Report Share Posted July 18, 2022 It’s not. He got arrested for waiving a gun at another driver when he was with Cincy back in 2014. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ArmyBengal Posted July 18, 2022 Report Share Posted July 18, 2022 I should have used the word “except” instead of “if”. I remember when that went down the first time. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
