Pound the Table - Thump the Chest

This is why I want everyone in the media to publicize how they feel. I don't want this to be weaponized to mock the Bengals (and for that matter, our fanbase) in the future. I want to know where everyone stands on the issue by April 29.

It's disconcerting to me that former NFL players/management seem almost unanimously to be behind taking a lineman, even if they're hinting that they might consider another name (i.e. Chase). As long as it remains like this, we're serving ourselves on a silver platter if we take Chase and it doesn't work out. The only way to mitigate some of that risk is to get everyone on the record in advance, just to ensure that revisionist historians around the NFL don't ridicule us for the next generation by implying that we went out on a limb and "bungled" another pick.

I hate thinking this far ahead as a fan but I can't help it. This team can no longer be naive as to how the national media is planning to use them.
