Crazy stuff

There goes Fuaga

You keep feeling things you’re gonna go blind.

Fuaga still there atm. Arnold too.

Raiders catch Bowers

6 QBs in the first 12 picks. CB, edge, Bowers all falling. Next few picks should be interesting.

Bowers falling…

Fashanu to the Jets

Penix a bit of a curveball there, but I get it.

Scratch Latham

I would not expect anything less from you!

Final prediction: Mims.

Army got Hobson to ruin TJ’s night. https://www.bengals.com/news/2024-media-mock-draft-4-0-a-bill-of-appreciation-with-one-final-option-at-no-18-but-hay-is-in-the-barn

Yeah the theory is that Harbaugh will take him because he’s a great run blocker and Harbaugh wants to run the ball.

Zierlein, who is also one of the usually more accurate mockers, has Bowers slipping to the Bengals at 18. https://www.nfl.com/news/lance-zierlein-2024-nfl-mock-draft-4-0

Yeah I don’t see a trade up either. But it’s fun to think about while we kill the next seven hours.

Final mock from Brendan Donahue, who has been the most accurate prognosticator over the last five years: Bengals take DT Byron Murphy… at 12! https://www.sharpfootballanalysis.com/analysis/2024-nfl-mock-draft-brendan-donahue/ The projected trade is: Denver Receives Picks 18 and 49. Cincinnati Receives Picks 12, 121, and 136. I don’t see it, but I don’t immediately hate it, and in this scenario I could see the Bengals packaging some picks to move back up into the second or early third.

Ell Oh Ell. Hendrickson has ZERO leverage. He’s set to make about $36 million over this year and next assuming he stays healthy, but he’s going to retire? Bullshit. And if he was that rock stupid, hey, they drafted his replacement last freakin’ year. Go ahead, Trey, go rot on a couch. I double dog dare you!

About damn time!

Trey just got paid last year. He had a a choice to bet on himself or take the safe money. He lost that bet and now he’s crying like a little bitch. He’s 100 percent responsible for the boat he’s in and the Bengals are under no obligation to give him another dime. And as he will be 31 when his current deal is up, I don’t expect them to.

Oh blow me Hendrickson. Got a big check last year and now you regret it. Cry more. https://www.cincyjungle.com/2024/4/24/24139603/trey-hendrickson-trade-bengals-de-2024-nfl-draft-rumors

Some nuggets from this latest piece: https://www.cincinnati.com/story/news/politics/2024/04/23/lease-negotiations-continue-between-hamilton-county-and-the-bengals/73330479007/ Heh. Maybe it’s not them, Bengals. Maybe it’s you. Apparently Katie is concerned that there is no “political will” for a deal. But let’s look at what the Bengals want. Oh, so just $300 million this year and next. Gee, I wonder why things are stalled… And all that buys the county is a five year lease extension so the Bengals can shake them down again.

Related to the above, the Lions just gave Amon-Ra St. Brown a four year $120 million extension with $77 million guaranteed. Just give Chase the money now, Mike. He ain’t gonna get any cheaper.

In the most earth shattering surprise of 2024, the Bengals have picked up Ja’marr’s option. https://www.bengals.com/news/ja-marr-chase-extended-fifth-year-option-cincinnati-bengals

The new logo should be Mike in his golf cart filled with piles of money with text arching over him in the striped B font saying “Can’t pay everyone LOL!”
