I don't want to have to find one starter in the draft. I want those drafted to beat out a player on our roster to start.
Irwin or Jonah hopefully replaces Boyd. We trade Higgins and creates a huge hole at WR2. The draft can be a crap shoot, we all know that and not just for us, but most teams.
I have not seen the Reader contract, but he is guy coming off an injury. I wish him well, but I am glad Bengals are cautious with 30-year-old vet seeking lot of guaranteed money.
I love DJ, but his pass rushing skills were almost non-existant.

Even with that being said, if you look at Reader's pass rushing stats they are better than people give him credit for. He is pretty good in the pass rush department. Whoever the Bengals get to replace Reader at NT, dont expect them to come in and have a bunch of sacks either.
007 is right. No I’m not happy with what they’d had to do with keeping Reader. But we won’t be better than they’ve been. Detroit obviously felt comfortable with his health and rehab. But as a former owner you have to keep your talent when competitors come calling at times. If the NT draft was like the OT’s I would have passed. But it’s awful. Reader didn’t want to leave. They should have kept him. He’s A+++++ locker room guy and the absolute most disruptive DT in the league. Immovable
Romo “ so impressed with Zac ...1 of the best in the NFL… they are just fundamentally sound. Taylor the best winning % in the Playoffs of current coaches. Joe Burrow” Zac is the best head coach in the NFL & that gives me a lot of confidence." Taylor led the Bengals to their first playoff win since 1990, ending the longest active drought in the four major North American sports, en and appeared in Super Bowl LVI, the first since 1988.
