The 2024 NFL Draft was unkind to the Cincinnati Bengals. Or rather, they were unkind to themselves. Or rather, they were callous and foolish and gave Joe Burrow very little to work with as he proceeded to have an MVP-caliber season that resulted in missing the playoffs.
Now that the Bengals' 2024 rookie class has a couple full seasons under their belt, figured it'd be a good time to dive in and see how they're doing. This is a painful exercise, fair warning.
What looked like a luxury/surplus first-round pick has easily turned out to be the best of the bunch.
