I know I'm the pot-stirring type, but we've never seen Mike Brown voluntarily move on from a long-term starting QB, so unless ZT demands a new QB I can see Dalton getting another team-friendly deal or two.

A portion of it has happened by hiring an unproven coach. If they draft a QB and it is Haskins I am certain this team is repeating the lost decade with a very long stretch of losing.

Fans got excited and bought tickets in 2003 because we won more than he had in a decade. They were excited with JON KITNA starting at QB. Fred you are making the most sense than all of these Dalton haters. This team does not need to spend a high pick on QB. They need to get players to win and they can win with Dalton Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I'm really starting to like Grier in Round 2.

But I think taking a QB or a RB this year would be a waste because neither is a big need for us. Fair enough, Fred. Gotta say that I'd love to see them draft Haskins now just to see how you respond to it. You would have to decide rather to rail against the move or to toe the company line in support of it just so you can go against anyone that criticizes the Bengals for drafting Haskins. Me thinks you would turn on a dime in support of the Bengals Front Office drafting Haskins just so you could go after those that are against it in Posts/Threads going forward from the draft. Just a hunch...

People will be surprised when both Devins go in the top ten and the Bengals draft Drew Lock.

We will never know what was said, but it's possible Boomer made his dissatisfaction with the looming Mike Brown era known prior to that. But I can't say I recall the specific sequence of events on that one, granted.

I could seriously see the skins,fins,and somebody else asking to move up ahead of us and we should take that unless we are going after Haskins ourselves if he is still there,but I would bet big money the Gaints are taking him as they want him badly.If that happens and we are passing on him,lets get another 2nd and a third for a franchise qb.

Relying on predraft rumors is no way to run a railroad.. No team today would be the first to use misdirection on the draft front. They all want the best QB if that's their goal in the first round.

Walter Football's latest mock:
11. Cincinnati Bengals. Drew Lock, QB, Missouri. If you've been following the site for a while, you know one of my favorite phrases pertaining to the NFL Draft: New regimes mean new quarterbacks. I've been saying that for so long because it's true. When a new regime comes into a team, it tends to obtain a new quarterback unless a great player at the position is already in place. Andy Dalton is not a great player. He's as mediocre as it gets; he turns 32 during the upcoming season; and he's due an average of about $17 million per season over the next two years before his contract expires. Unless this new Cincinnati regime loves Dalton, I believe it will move on from Dalton in the next year or so. If Dwayne Haskins falls to the Bengals, it's very realistic that they'll select the Ohio State product, much like the Ravens did with Lamar Jackson last year. Joe Flacco played one final season with his team, and Dalton would do the same in this scenario before Haskins takes over in 2020. Drew Lock has a great arm and can make any throw, but he really needs to work on his field vision and accuracy. He should probably be taken in the second round, but we've seen teams reach for quarterbacks over the years. And besides, teams like Lock's gritty attitude and work ethic. He loves football, so he'll try hard to improve his flaws. Read more: http://walterfootball.com/draft2019.php#ixzz5m19LFY2x Read more at http://walterfootball.com/draft2019.php#OEOHtD6IU50Xzi4W.99

Lock is the QB I wanted this team to draft at this time last year (thinking ahead a year). I wouldn’t hate it now, but we have more pressing needs. If Bush or Sweat is there, it’s gotta be one of those guys.
04-24-2019, 11:34 AM
I keep thinking Sweat is going to free-fall a bit. That heart issue is a big red flag.
I do think Lock will be gone before we pick. Jones should be there. I reiterate yet again I am not necessarily espousing the selection of a QB. Merely examining it. And if we go that route. Dan Jones would be the worst outcome. He's Bortles 2.0. See my apt comparison earlier in this thread. I could be excited about Lock or Haskins. No Jones. But optimally I'd want Grier in the 2nd and Devin White in the 1st. I have a feeling I'm not getting either.

I'm starting to think this is less likely. Dehner Jr. and Lapham have cooled me on the idea with their recent comments. Couple their comments with what Dalton has had to say, and I'm getting the sense that QB isn't as high of a priority this year as people have speculated. If the Bengals are sending QB signals at all, it's probably to get other teams to panic and jump on a QB and thus cause top defensive players to fall to them.

I could see us drafting a QB in round 1. If we do, it means we may be tanking 2019. If we also trade AD prior to start of the season, then I see a rebuild beginning.
What is the value of AD? I think he is #1 pick plus at least a 2nd round pick. I like AD and think our fans love to find that one guy to trash and it has been AD for many, in past it was Peko, Rey M. and others. I hope we make the right decision with the draft and roster, I am no expert so how can I be happy or sad after the draft. My happiness is based on winning and winning only in 2019.
I am so ready for 2024 season. I love pro football and hoping for a great Bengals year. Regardless, always remember it is a game and entertainment.
04-24-2019, 12:38 PM
Right now I'd say Dalton's trade value is a third rounder at best. Maybe a second rounder if a team finds themselves desperate. Of all the teams in the NFL, the only one I could see calling for Dalton would be Washington because of the Jay Gruden connection. But Gruden himself may be out of town by this time next year.
