There once was a brief time they got productive players off the FA scrap heap AND got All-Pros from the draft. Hasn’t happened in a while and now the cub-bards are bare. Was it dumb luck? Is this a cold a streak or the norm? Was Zimmer the secret sauce?
-
*Jumps ahead to April in my time machine* Okay, they did nothing of note. Proceed.
-
I've got a joke. Let's see what they do in free agency first. Then make predictions for the draft.

I would rather O-line over LB. But you couldn’t argue too much with that pick at 33 because it’s value some have 10-15 picks earlier, it’s a need, and his profile fits exactly what they need at LB.
-
I would be very pleased with that. He’s starting to to show up in mocks in the 20s so that’s a possibility.
-
no linebackers til round 4 or later if we take burrow at 1
-
Totally fine with a LB at 33. Whether he's any good is a crapshoot, so whatever.

AJ: If I get tagged I will sit out the offseason
HoosierCat replied to HoosierCat's topic in Cincinnati Bengals
In principle I agree. But we both know this FO. They aren’t going to use the money to go get a top FA or two. They’ll just end up signing some trash and using the rest on Bobby Hart style deals because they have to spend the money someplace. Signing AJ at least has the possibility of an impact, because when he’s healthy this is a different team. Otherwise it will just be used on guys who won’t make any difference. -
So how do we feel about Patrick Queen at 33? Seems to be becoming a popular pick among the amateur mock set. I ended up with him on a TDN mock I did just for kicks the other day. Obviously had a great game vs Clemson. Thoughts?

COB replied to HoosierCat's topic in Cincinnati Bengals
I don’t know what Tobin would say if the plan was actually “try to get Green on hometown discount or just let him walk.” But I hope that’s what they do. Forget the tag, we’ve got good young receivers in here. Either he works cheap here or send him down the road. Throwing a pile of money at a constantly hurt vet is not how to rebuild this team around a new QB. - Last week
-
I’d rather Darly Williams at Tackle over Whit. But of course wouldn’t be disappointed with them taking steps to solidify the line.
-
The fact that he felt the need to say "I am a pretty good source" tells me all I'd need to know about this guy even if I wasnt already aware of what a lunkhead he was as a Bengals OL coach
-
I hope Lap is wrong, tho he is usually right 2nd and 3rd rd picks need to be both OL, with one of those specifically a ORT
-
Whit would be so optimal.
-
There’s this vet FA tackle out of LA available...Mitfurth, Whitburt, something like that, I forget his name exactly. Could be worth a look.
-
Maybe after all these years his seat is getting a little warm.
-
Damn, Tobin’s really blabbing on about ticket sales.
-
They need to get a vet tackle, experienced leader type guy. Frees up that second pick, creates maturity and hopefully competence on the line, and gives our rookie 2.0 someone to learn from. A role model. Allows us so much flexibility with our second pick if they do this. Mike will never do this.
-
Jake with highlights from Lap on Hobs’ live q&a today: Whole thread is worth a read but the main points from Lap: — Burrow a lock at 1 — 33 will be BDPA regardless of position — Hopkins is the starting center — Bengals won’t trade any players except maybe Dalton — Bengals will probably go after a vet backup qb

Just call it the Burrow-EFFECT! Thanks to Burrow's crazy good college year; The Bengals find themselves a top of a QB draft class sparking league wide interest. My in-laws (from Indy) that might catch a Colts game here and there; "Colts going hard after that Burrow guy". Look at all the Nebraska connections that we now know about. Crazy Saints trade offers. Paul has been in this league so many years he's got plenty of 1st hand, 2nd hand, and 3rd hand sources and Senior Bowl is when the off-season gets going. So yeah. It doesn't shock me that football people are impressed with Chase Young and Herbert. They always have been and for longer periods of time than they have with Joe Burrow. Is it hard to believe a "Bengals" source might see awesome football potential in Herbert or Chase? Nope. Not hard to believe Paul would have access to those thoughts either. Doesn't make Joe Burrow not the pick though. I said this months ago. QB movement drives offseason talk. The veteran QB market will be loaded AND the QB college class is loaded. Going to be fun off season for rumors/speculation etc. Anybody with an association with Bengals, Nebraska, or LSU is in prime time to get more play for their thoughts vs. any other time.
-
Kinda odd. I don't twitter so maybe Paul commenting on the draft is normal. Seems out of no where. Burrow-EFFECT
-
Two words : Ogbuehi, Ghuichick, and Bodine.
-
His mentions on that tweet are BRUTAL. Mine included. He's so bad. If he were still with this team, I would worry. Thank god he's not. And thank god that coaching room has almost completely turned over since he left two years ago - I think only Simmons remains.
-
Got the same thought. That piece talked more about LBs and Defense. If it plays out that way then Price, Jordan, Johnson, Williams can't be a pile of shit like it was last year. Those young OL have to step up. My confidence is low.
-
JFC am I glad this guy isn’t in the room any more.
