DL/DE is really deep this year. OL very solid as well. If they just took BPA at one of those positions every round they would probably end up with three starters. Half the PFF sims I do are some variation of that.

I've been thinking LB is a legit option in the first 3 rounds all along (really, given how deep both DL and OL look this year, I'd be fine with LB at 17 if the right guy is there). So Pratt potentially leaving really doesn't change my draft calculus. I do like our young guys Njongmeta and Heyward.

Pratt wants a trade. https://www.cincyjungle.com/2025/2/12/24364366/germaine-pratt-trade-bengals-captain-nfl Based on last season I would say a bag of peanuts would be acceptable.

Joe loves him some James Pierce Jr. Iffy whether he lasts to 17 tho. https://youtu.be/5BbxWr-2dSQ?si=6Nx8DFiCkVtUqr21

My prediction: they won’t re-sign Tee and they won’t do anything worthwhile with the money, either. Prove me wrong, pumpkie.

Dates to keep in mind: Feb. 18 tag window opens March 4 tag window closes March 10 legal tampering starts March 12 free agency begins

Well shit we’re screwed…

TBF I think Jenkins and McKinley had pretty good rookie outings. The issue was more that Stone and Rankins were trash. Moral of the story is keep your own talent.

That was brutal. Total domination by Philly. If your a fan of the old adage about offense winning games, defenses winning championships (and I am) this one’s for you. Congrats Eagles. Enjoy the win. Championships are to be savored. As for the Bengals, tomorrow everyone is 0-0 again. Get the fuck to work.

Jebus Kay Rist this is a beat down AND I LOVE EVERY BIT OF IT

Oh hi cooper dejean

I will be doing my part to make this the lowest rated SB ever. Just watching Tom Grossi’s stream. https://www.youtube.com/live/JQsXK1vqEx0?si=r5_QwVGnk0_8SB8T

Just in case anyone is bothering to watch and wants to chat. Fuck the Chiefs.

Last DT from Joe, Tyleik Williams. https://youtu.be/ZtnD4qnpYXE?si=ME9WlxsAByPpGtEj Joe’s a big fan but can’t recommend him at 17 due lack of pass rush chops. Everything else about his game is A+ tho so maybe in round 2?

Burrow wins AP comeback player of the year. Hendrickson comes in second for DPOY. Surtain wins. Chase receives 0 votes for OPOY. https://apnews.com/live/nfl-honors-mvp-2025-updates

FWIW the “buzz” in NO is that Tee staying is more likely than not. https://www.si.com/nfl/bengals/news/nfl-insider-shares-intriguing-update-tee-higgins-future-cincinnati-bengals

They would only need to redo Burrow’s deal if they needed cap space, and that’s a non-issue this year. I just don’t want to see a scenario where there’s a lot of unhappiness in the locker room with the FO. We had enough of that last year and I would argue it was a factor in last season’s crappy start.

Burrow not letting it go. Not saying that it will, but this whole situation has the potential to turn really ugly.
