No matter what pick we end up getting who do you want in a Bengals uniform? No right or wrong answer at this point. Just curious who you guys want to see us pick up.
I have a question for Bengals fans. In retrospect, do you wish your team had drafted Penei Sewell instead of Ja’Marr Chase? As a Lions fan, I remember being so relieved that Sewell was still there when we drafted him. And he’s now the anchor and leader of our offensive line. I think the right player in this case went to the right team, just wondering what your thoughts are.
Chase has been the real deal. But yes, we still need Sewell. So the bigger issue is not filling that need for years after the choice. Neither choice is bad if you still do something to fix the other hole. It’s like paying rent without spending a cent on groceries. Took care of one problem but now you’re starving in your house.
Ask again in 3 years. I think we may regret not taking him the further down the road we go. The Super Bowl run is too fresh. If Chase is the rare elite WR that never goes diva, always looking for greener pastures, we might be happy for a decade
Brock Bowers, if not him then Newton from Illinois
If he’s there when we pick Bowers. Otherwise we need a RT
Personally I like mims, olu, and alt, hell even Latham I would consider
I’m guessing we pick like top 12. I don’t see us wining any more games which could means we have a chance at a top 5 pick.
We have a really good shot at getting either Fashanu, Alt or Fuaga. Wondering which of these 3 could play RT.
If it’s top 3 we should get MHJ
Offensive or defensive line if there’s a stud there when we pick. If not, consider trading down and getting more day two picks for TE/RB/Guard needs.
Brock bowers would be nice but I really like Tanner Hudson. Drew sample was rated best blocking TE. I don’t think we’re getting anywhere near a Super Bowl unless we clamp up on the run and big passing plays. We lead the league in plays over 25 yards allowed I believe. We are top 5 worst defense against the run. Dead last in offensive rushing. I’d be happy if we ended up taking a defensive monster or something that opens up the run.
Hudson is 29 years old and not a good blocker.
Trade down. Stock up on linemen on both sides of the ball
I want stover. But that requires faith in our line to have a receiving TE
IDL or OL in the first round. Who you decide to resign prior to the draft influences this ofc. Only time I wouldn’t take one of those is if by some miracle MHJ or Nabers drop to our pick because all the good trench players were taken early. In that case yeah you take the playmaker and be happyZ
The Bengals value CB, but they don’t need one in this draft. We know we need OL help. We also think Higgins/Boyd will be gone, so WR is good too. TE is a need. DE/DL is still a need, especially pass rushers. We need another RB.
Lotta holes to fill. Just about everything except secondary and even then, S is a need because Battle/Scott sucks.
Too soon to say that about Battle
Brock or best trench player available
If bowers there get bowers If he not heres the prioritys best player available RT PASS RUSHING DLINE CB
D line and WR. Even if he keep Tee, would be nice to develop another young weapon for Burrow when we eventually move on from Tee. Keon Coleman, Rome Oduzna, Troy Franklin, Xaiver Worthy a lot of talent should be available
We really need to pad up the o-line. I don’t have specific names, but, we really need to hammer down the line
Ugh it’s to early to go over the post season nightmare the only glimmer of hope is the reds and fcc
I think Brock Bowers would be ideal if possible. I think we just take best player available come our pick
