Waaaaaaay too early 2025 Draft and FA Needs


Recommended Posts

FA:

a legit 2IDT or NT. a monster run stopper. Willing to mentor a rookie.  Some pass rush ability would be a huge plus

a DJ Reader clone would be superb

got to have this guy. 

absolute must-have uber alles

get him identified and all the contract details worked out in the legal tampering period

 

DRAFT:

Picks 1 through 4 in no particular order

a legit 2IDT or NT to be groomed by the veteran free agent

ORG or OLT (to replace veterans with expiring contracts)

Pass rushing DE.  Some run stopping ability would be a huge plus.

A LB who can cover and tackle.  Premium on sure tackling.

 

OTHER:

I'd like to see a genuine star PR/KR.   Could be a DB, RB, or WR.  

I think we have our OC of the future in Matt Lee, although I'd be a lot happier if he bulks up to 315 or so before next season starts

I also believe we have our new starter at TE for 2025 in Erick All

The 2024 class is shaping up into one of the best draft classes we've ever had:

--Mims is a quality starter at ORT.  Just pray he can stay healthy

--Jenkins had the tackle on the 4th and goal

--Burton looks like a star in the making

--All is already starter+ quality as a blocker and added 4 catches on 4 targets. 100%.  I am all but certain that at least 2 of the catches were for first down

--Daijahn had the fake punt pass breakup vs the Panthers

--Lee hasnt been on the field and probably wont unless Karras is injured, but was wonderful in the preseason and looks every bit the part of the heir apparent we will need when Karras leaves

Thats quite a bit for a draft class, especially this early

I think 2025 is going to see a fairly large change in Bengals players. The free agent list has a handful of starters and contributors on it. I think this draft is going to be a really important one to them. 

All drafts are important but with Burrow now having and Chase probably getting the big money, draft picks are going to have to hit.

I can’t even begin and don’t really want to think about the names out there in the draft but have no issue with it being heavy on linemen. D line needs to be addressed multiple times.
