Looking at the Bengals in FA, and their moves and players they are linked too that they didn't sign.
Kenny Golladay - Clearly they view WR as a need, as they were in on Golladay. Not landing him and not finding a replacement elsewhere makes it pretty clear they will take Chase at 5.
Joe Thuney? - Not sure there was ever a real report of them offering him a contract, they did of course offer one to Zeitler and then ended up bringing back Spain.
Trai Turner - No contact from the Bengals to Trai Turner.
Kerrigan - Brought in, clearly they still want to add pass rush and it is needed.
Jarran Reed - There was reports of interest in Reed prior to him signing with the Chiefs, so there is interest in adding to the IDL.
Right now, it would look like the goal in the draft is to get Chase, then go get DL help.
The question I have for everyone is simple.
Do you think that with the people the Bengals are linked to and have signed that they will still consider OL in round 2 or is it more likely we wait till round 4.
Again, not what you want them to do... think about the franchise, and the positions they have signed a RT and a G (Reiff and Spain) and then look at the people they are still visiting with.
You bring up good points, but in a way you are leading the witness here.
Of Course they do not really care about the Oline, they are going to go into 2021 with one of the lowest OL payrolls in the NFL yet again. But, somehow they have top 5 money invested in RBs.
This is a cheap, short cutting, nepotism driven, clown franchise (Just like the Reds actually). The entire league treats the bengals like a doormat, and it's because they deserve it.
The Bengals leadership 'gets it wrong' about 85-90% of the time. That is the only football related thing they are pretty good at - Being idiots
Even seeing their rookie franchise QB get every ligament in his knee shredded, getting sacked at a crazy rate, taking massive hits...they did nothing.
They brought in Reilly Reiff on a 1 year 6.5M Contract. And look at this board (Lauding the creativity of the deal, star struck at such sharp operating savvy!)
Our fans are just as bad as the owners. They just fall in line and every March/April drink the kool aid and saddle up for another loser of a season with a giant smile on their face.
