With the driveway cleared following last evenings snowfall I thought I would take a shot at another simulation today. This was done with some assumptions such as:
Re-signed players:
Tanner Hudson, Cody Ford, Trenton Irwin, Cal Adomitis, Drew Sample, Joe Bachie, Akeem Davis-Gaither
High Probability:
DJ Reader - At least a 1 year deal
Tee Higgins - franchise tag
I believe that these along with the loss of Tyler Boyd in free agency are all relatively safe predictions heading into the '23 draft.
I was eyeing Brian Thomas Jr. or JC Latham at #18 but both of them were off of the board. I think the upside of Mims or Guyton at RT are both really high but I think there is much development needed with both players and I struggled with this as a value at #18. Philadelphia offered what I considered a good value trade of selections 1-22 and 3-97 for the #18th selection so at this point I felt comfortable taking the pick and seeing how the draft fell. I believe this trade ended up working all extremely well for the Bengals.
