According to who? I see every pick except the big OT being potential help this year for the Bengals.

That's an indictment.

If anyone thinks that draft is better than the Bengals draft, just excuse yourself from the discussion.

I think you hit the nail on the head. Owner said get him. That makes perfect sense in Cleveland.

Interesting grading system.

No explanation possible. Waste of at least one draft pick.

I do not expect a ton in a trade if they trade him. Hendrickson and his agent already tried to make a trade happen and couldn't get an offer worth considering for the Bengals.

I am not putting Stewart inside exclusively. I am talking situationally.

I see Stewart rushing from DT at times. Obvious passing situations, put him inside of Trey. That's where Stewart's size and strength can give the team flexibility/options. His agreed strength is bull rush. Move him inside and tell him to collapse the pocket.

Bengals have signed ESPN's top ranked undrafted player OSU center Seth McLaughlin. Past Remington Award winner as best NCAA center. Recovering from Achilles injury is why he wasn't drafted. Also signed ND DT Howard Cross III, projected as late round pick who had injuries drop him from the draft.

So let's see ... headed into the draft Bengals needs were listed as DL, OG, perhaps LB, perhaps a RB late. Then the Bengals draft arguably the best combo of size and speed DL, 2 LB's, an OG they say can start day 1, a good blocking and power type RB and another OL that may become another OG. And everyone hates this draft? Hmmmm ....

Agree Travis is a TOTAL clown (to the extent I am not even going to quote a link with his statement 😉), ... but agree with you he is right (and no problem quoting your statement 👍). Look at the poor character players drafted ahead of Sanders this draft and in other drafts. If teams think you will help their team win, they will draft you. I will add this, him being a QB adds to the "risk" of his potential to become a team chemistry issue. Mark my words, early in training camp if other QB's struggle and Shadeur doesn't, the outcry for him to be the starter will build very quickly. Then if he isn't the starter, well, there you go, that will be why teams didn't want to deal with a QB "controversy".

If it is a personal thing, it was created by Sanders.

Wow. So shocking to hear you say that! 😏

And suddenly the name Ray Rice comes to mind.
