I was bored and read thru 1-11 pages on this post. It's pretty funny to me that fans like Jmoore and Essex, etc...always mentioned all the holes the team has and that's their reasoning for needing to trade down for extra picks, etc...
BUT, they nor anyone else ever mentioned that the Bengals have been ravaged by Injuries from Day 1. Has anyone even mentioned that READER, ATKINS and DANIELS never got to play 1 snap together while healthy??? Atkins has had a bum shoulder all year, never played next to Reader who got hurt after game 4, Daniels came over right before the season to play with Atkins and never got the chance. The other DT's (Tupou and Wren) were expected to be good contributors on the D Line. Never took a snap.
How about our Secondary? Who cares about WJIII when he'll get replaced with another #1 who never stepped foot on the field in Trey Waynes. We just take that money re-signing him and put it elsewhere.
UZOMAH was going to have a big year as I think everyone saw that Burrow developed a nice relationship with him. He's back next year as well.
Now you add Burrow, Mixon and Jonah to the injury list and that's a lot of freakin' talent gone this year.
This team doesn't need more draft picks to fix all the holes as JMoore proclaims. It just needs to get healthy for next year and add another good draft and FA. It needs more TALENT at Premiere positions as well.
The obvious weakness on this team is the OLine. Draft the most talented player in this draft, Sewell, at OT and that's a HUGE Upgrade already across the board.
OL---Sewell/Jonah Spain(Resign) Hopkins FA/Adeniji/Draft Sewell/Jonah
DL---FA/Rookie/Kareem Tupou/Daniels Reader/Tupou Atkins/Wren Hubbard
The Bengals lines will be just fine in this scenerio and ready to compete.
The Bengals could've won 4-5-6 games and a Tie if Burrow doesn't get hurt.
Next year, with a year under his belt, another strong Draft class and FA, and Injured players back, and this team can be competing for 1 of the Playoff spots. It'll have the talent, and the QB.
