So my question is this if the Bengals are offered a huge deal for that Pick. Do you think the Bengals would accept it? Also would you want the Bengals to accept the Deal?

What made that "no" trade so bad was that the Bengals picked Akili Smith.

But the reason Mike Brown didn't accept the trade is because he was sold on one year wonder Smith. Why, no one is really knows for sure. The offense Smith ran in college didn't translate to the NFL and the guy was as intelligent as a calculator without buttons for half the numbers.

Coslet wanted to take the trade and use the picks to rebuild the aging offensive and defensive lines.

Today, we have a similar situation, accept it's not age, but a lack of talent on the OL and LBers.
