Since the loser is still our HC, we'll probably be choosing in the top ten next year, so we can take an elite WR then.

The longer I think about it, the more I buy into the idea of the Bengals trading back if Sewell is gone at #5.  Just yesterday, one of the draft simulator had WFT offering the Bengals #'s 19,51,84 and their 2022 2nd round pick for #5.

Sure, the draft simulator might be a bit far fetched, but if the Bengals could pick up 2 more selections in the 1st 100 picks for moving back to the middle of the 1st round, it would make perfect sense.  There are too many holes to think that one draft class at their current position and free agency could effectively fill them all.

For as many times as the Bengals have struck out with their 1st round picks in recent years, they have absolutely nailed it in the 2nd round.  Of current homegrown talent on the roster;  Bates, Boyd, Mixon, Higgins..  all 2nd round picks.
