Downs might have some knee issues.

I know, I am the one who posted about his knee issues about 5 post above. Which is why I am more weary on possibly taking him now. 

What's everyone's thoughts on the LB, Sonny Styles? Will he be there at pick 10? 

 

What about this idea- a trade for Maxx Crosby?

Bengals have too many needs to trade picks for anyone.

Sign free agents that are sure starters and keep draft picks.

Sonny Styles gives me Isaiah Simmons vibes. Absolutely great athlete, but possibly may not fit well in regards to NFL play. So I am not as big on him, as others may be.

I like Styles but don’t think he will be there at 10.  I know the Bengals need defense but it’s hard to project until after we see what holes get filled through free agency.

I like Crosby but I don’t think they can afford the draft capital it would take to get him.  Also, have the Bengals ever made splash trade like that?

Great point. I see the Ravens might be a suitor. Hoping that does not come to fruition. Seeing him twice a year.. 

I will say this: The Bengals CANNOT mess the draft and free agency up. We have to hold onto a healthy # 9 for years to come. 

Still young, but he turns 3-0 this year. Not every QB plays into their 40's like Flacco, Rodgers, and the GOAT Brady. 

What players in free agency does everyone want them to go after?

Almost any position on defense but I don't have any specific players in mind.

It will. That's pretty much always how that works out in the draft. Any time there is a big time defensive player that has Bengals fans salivating, the Ravens and Steelers are ready to snatch them up. With that said, I'm not sure how sold I am on Styles. I know his numbers at the combine were wild but I don't know much beyond that.

That's one thing about the draft being so long after the college football season has ended.  I've forgot 90% of what I knew about players from the last season.

For sure and I was thinking the same thing.  Either that or sign the best FA available.

Too many other needs. They will roll with Orlando Brown. Brown needs to drop about 15-20 pounds. I would like to see him play at 320-325 this year. I think his efficiency increases a lot if he does that.

 Brown is the worst left tackle I ever seen he false starts every play.
