ArmyBengal Posted April 22, 2020 Report Share Posted April 22, 2020 It's such a weak TE class, that I would rather them NOT take one early. It can't be forgotten that this coaching group just spent a 2nd rounder on Sample. Regardless of my distaste for that move, the coaches still speak highly of him. Uzomah is still a decent TE as well, so I wouldn't look for one before the 4th. I've mentioned it before, but give Burrow his best buddy from LSU in Thaddeus Moss in the later rounds. On the official site there was a quote from Paul Brown I think... Yep, here it is: "You draft for need and don't let anybody tell you any differently," Interesting take from a football legend.

I'll have to go look that up before draft day. So it would be interesting to see if any of the "27" slide to 33 because teams are reaching for need picks. Hopefully it's a future All PRO tackle. Most years someone unexpected falls. It took about a week for me to crank my jaw back up off the floor when Steinbach was there at 33 back in 2003.

COB Posted April 23, 2020 Report Share Posted April 23, 2020 So pumped for tomorrow night. I’m going to wear my Burrow (with a Bengals “B”) t-shirt, and make quite a rumpus when he’s selected. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm trying to put myself in the Bengals' position, the way they value WR's/TE's/RB's, and the pitiful depth at TE. But yeah I'd love to see Moss or any other LSU WR, "after" drafting an o-lineman (or two) preferably. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Despite the Pandemic (which is starting to really, really suck), knowing it truly is the end of the Dalton era, is something to look forward to, finally.

membengal Posted April 23, 2020 Report Share Posted April 23, 2020 This part here is really cool of the Bengals, actually (something does feel different in terms of competence at the moment with the front office and coaching staff): Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ArmyBengal Posted April 23, 2020 Report Share Posted April 23, 2020 I was just sitting here thinking about the impact that a #1 overall QB can make on a team and couldn’t help but think of this question... I wonder what Billy would have to say about all of this ?? I have a feeling he would be all beside himself with joy and new boobs in his thread !! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ArmyBengal Posted April 23, 2020 Report Share Posted April 23, 2020 Yeah, I can put something together. Not sure of my availability throughout the entire draft, but will be around for the most part. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TJJackson Posted April 23, 2020 Report Share Posted April 23, 2020 this should be tracked to the last pick in r1 as the Bengals might just trade up into the bottom of r1 to secure a blue chip OL or LB Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I believe they will trade Dalton and #33 to NE for #23. Looking a the way the draft is unfolding bad things are going to happen to alot of prospects the Bengals should be coveting from pick 20-32.

membengal Posted April 23, 2020 Report Share Posted April 23, 2020 It's a pipe dream, but, maybe. As for Burrow, he remains undefeated: 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ArmyBengal Posted April 23, 2020 Report Share Posted April 23, 2020 I would love to see a trade up. Be aggressive and go get a player they love that gets close. If Patrick Queen falls past 25, make it happen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stripes Posted April 23, 2020 Report Share Posted April 23, 2020 I think Tobin has shown a tendency to sit in the second round and snag a first rounder that dropped -- it seems to happen quite often for us. Their board is likely broad enough by position that nobody will enamor them so much that they feel the urge to trade up. Someone else they love just as much will still be there. Could be wrong. I'll probably watch the entire round anyway. It's the only sports in town. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
membengal Posted April 23, 2020 Report Share Posted April 23, 2020 They’ve traded back in second round three of the last four years, stripes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stripes Posted April 23, 2020 Report Share Posted April 23, 2020 Yes they've long been fine with trading down; their board is broad enough that they can still get whoever they want. It's the ups that seem rare, albeit with the odd later-round exceptions like Bodine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
