futurecoach Posted February 20, 2023 Share Posted February 20, 2023 I did my first mock draft of the year. The way it worked out with the simulation, I don’t think it’s very realistic. Especially in regards to my first two picks falling to where I got them at. With that said, I would love it if it played out like this. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Personally, I don't like the idea of waiting until pick #70 to address the o-line. I'd like to see that get addressed in round one. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You also don’t take one just to take one. That is how you also end up with a guy like Billy Price. The Bengals needed a center, and when they missed out on the top center. They panicked and still took center, when Price shouldn’t have been taken at that time. So obviously will just depend on how the board falls.

theguru Posted February 27, 2023 Author Share Posted February 27, 2023 From Bengalswire/USA Today: Marvin Lewis and Mike Zimmer outline how the Bengals should handle the offseason with these three points: Bolster the offensive line Manipulate cap space to pay stars Increase the pass-rush production =============== I agree! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree with the points, but please don't let them in the draft war room. We need good O linemen, not another Billy Price or Cedric Ogbuehi.

theguru Posted March 2, 2023 Author Share Posted March 2, 2023 I am curious what we will do in FA with our own players and players on the market. I think the Bengals are in a place where nearly every FA will want to take a look at Cincinnati. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After today's report from the NFLPA about how badly the Bengals treat their players and families, I'm not too sure. Bengals rank #27 out of 32 teams. They got two "F" and two "D" grades.https://nflpa.com/nfl-player-team-report-cards 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember years ago Johnathan Joseph made issue with the Bengals being cheap on this kind of thing and I see it hasn't changed much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
