Of all the deficient positions on this defense, Mike linebacker was not one of the ones that needed urgent replacement.

NFL on espn loves the knight pick.

I thought they’d draft him in the 3rd.

Thankfully we only have 6 picks.

How do you know that BS?

Seriously are you some kind of FO spy or summat your tongue is so far up Dukes arse I bet you can taste what he had for lunch.

Every mock, every expert you were talking about before said he’s a 3rd rounder.

We have Volson and some back up nobody has ever heard of protecting the only hope the Bengals have and we just passed on an instant upgrade.

It’s sickening.

2023 Bengals traded down from the 92nd pick to the 95th pick with the Chiefs.

2022 they traded up twice:

2021 they traded down from the 38th pick with the Patriots:

It’s not unusual…..! Fill in the rest of the lyrics

Guess QB1 will be running for his life again this season.

This is what fans forget, our next pick is #81 so Knight would have to survive 32 picks to get him in round 3.

He was obviously Golden's guy. Bengals have added 2 very fast players to their front 7

This is Bengals fandom.  Nothing has to happen.  Definitely nothing that seems to make sense.

So far we drafted Murphy and Pratts clones. Not a good start to a draft that I consider a must nail.

God, I hate this. Burrow cannot be happy either.

So far we're on a track for the worst draft in franchise history. Burrow should refuse to play since they obviously don't care if he gets put on IR before midseason.

That seems to be often the case with Bengals picks. You could move back and the player would likely still be there. Even just pick up a 6th or 7th to move down somewhat. I sometimes wonder if they don't focus in a player that they are sure will be there when they pick. 

Drafting 25 year old in 2nd Round is usually a bad idea.

Worst draft since Zac's first year no doubt.

A lot of fans wanted a defensive draft and so far, it is a defensive draft.

I have a hunch they have Risner, Scherff or Hernandez agent on speed dial.

No i think you are completely correct. We reached for a 25 year old 3rd rd graded linebacker. Why we don't value guard and Burrows health i don't understand. Golden is a linebacker guy so I can give the player and pick a pass but we need a guard. This team is starting to make it very obvious they don't belong.

Do they ever not like picks? Most picks get praise. It's like a pr wing of the NFL.

Knight is a rookie in his age 25 season.
Lamar Jackson has been in the NFL for 7 years already and his age 25 season was 2022.
