Benson would be a nice luxury. The two WRs are a little raw, but Coleman would instantly be a nice return man. 

Verse and Fiske would instantly take our physicality to another level which is what we need desperately on Defense. Verse is so strong 
he just pushes OL around and he pressures the QB in the passing game doing this and breaks up the running game as well. Not many 
are talking about Jared Verse to us at 18 but if he is there it is definitely a possibility even if we drafted Myles Murphy last year. You can
not having too many pass rushers.

Agreed on Keon, he would be a dynamic Returner at the very least.

I know I said T.O. earlier, but if talking about the draft specifically, I was pretty f***in stoked for John Ross.
But I also thought the coaches were going to use him like Washington did.

Luckily, aside for one player, I only have bought jerseys for Bengals players who had signed a 4+ year veteran deal.

The only player I ever bought a jersey of that was a rookie was AJ Green.
And it's autographed.
And it was the Reebok jersey, which was the last year of those jerseys before switching to Nike.

Peter Warrick, I really didn't care for too much in college. When we drafted him, I remember someone on the old board had posted and email Peter had sent to someone. Anyway, I actually sent him an email and he responded. Turns out he was a pretty nice guy and we kept in touch for a couple of years. Last one I got, I was in Afghanistan.

My favorite Bengal of all time. He gave his leg for the fans trying to give us our first winning season in over a decade back then.

Turns out, he needed to learn man things: https://youtu.be/Oto3BMYPP1w?si=L7mN6KZWQNPFbGEk

Actually, scratch that. I still love him. Cheapshot of the year winner for leveling a Ravens assistant after an INT: https://youtu.be/NDGqfoa0XmY?si=ToNFcVjLK1OFySpb

La'el Collins, after signing Karras and Cappa, I thought Collins was the final piece to put the O-line issues behind us. He started out rough then got better then got injured. Here's to hoping Trent Brown is the missing piece.

Oof, I've had a few of these moments. 

I was ecstatic when we drafted Chase Coffman, I thought we finally had an unstoppable weapon at TE. I thought Darqueze Dennard was going to be our next shutdown CB. I thought Andrew Billings was going to be a stud DT for us. I also thought John Ross would finally put our offense over the top.

Damn... I literally forgot about Dennard. He was my guy coming out too.
