Did Someone Say Bowers?

2.  If Bowers is off the board at 17, a team will trade in front of us to take a RT

That's literally how it works for the Bengals when they have an obvious need.

You're probably right here, can't show ones hand in the draft like the Bengals of old always did. 

Yet lately the Bengals have not done this and remained flexible in what position they can select.

Am usually in the keep your draft picks group, but this year some are forgetting that the Bengals have a lot of cap space to bring in FA's galore and may not have nearly as many holes to plug when the draft rolls around. 

Just believe they will stay the course and retain their draft flexibility imho by filling some major holes via FA. With that being said, it might not be a bad time to trade up if there is a star player they desire and have on a rookie deal for a few years that may get them over the hump. Whoever that player may be. 

Would love to see them bring in one of the top DT's in FA and a RT then move up in draft and grab another offensive weapon.
