One of the main reasons the Cincinnati Bengals have become one of the most consistent teams in the NFL with five consecutive playoff berths has been their ability to put together consistently strong drafts.

But while the team has had great success finding gems in the mid to late rounds, the first-round selections have left a little to be desired.

The last 10 players the Bengals have selected in the first round have combined for just six Pro Bowl berths, and five of those belong to wide receiver A.J. Green. Tight end Tyler Eifert has the other.

Of course there is still a lot of time remaining in the careers of the last six players the team has taken in the first round, several of which have not been called on to contribute right away because the roster is so talented and deep.
