New Dey was Bad Dey in 2019.  This team has been getting worse each year since end of 2015 season.

To turn it around, Bengals need a GREAT DRAFT.  That means getting it right with the Top Pick in 1 and Top Pick in 2, and Top Pick in 3, and Top Pick in 4, and TOP pick in 5, and Top Pick in 6.   Because 2 is like a 1,  3 is like a 2, 4 is like a 3, 5 is like a 4, 6 is like a 5.  So The Bengals hitting home runs on all these picks is greatly needed by the worst team in NFL,  if they want to rise out of the slime and become  a winning team again.

So starting Thursday we have some Sports on TV.  We know Burrow Thursday at the start.  I want to see who Bengals take start of every other round, because Round 1 picks fall to us start of 2.  Round 2 picks fall to us start of 3, and 4 is a 3, 5 is a 4, 6 is a 5.....Good Players should fall to us the Top of Each Round.   Who they are, nobody ever knows before Drafts.  So worth watching to see what huge surprises are sitting there, and are Bengals smart enough to grab them, instead of dumb taking lower pick players.  

If the Bengals do it right, this should be their best draft ever,  and worst team in NFL needs their best draft ever.  May Top Talent fall into their laps the Top of Every Round to Really Bring us New Dey.

Paul Brown use to say draft Best Available Athlete.  As players fall out of Round 1, Bengals there to steal them, and they can do that Top of Every Round.  BEST AVAILABLE ATHLETE.   Bengals could use help at most positions since only 2 wins, so B.A.A.  Surprises at Top of Rounds to be Grabbed.

That Top of 2 Pick, just consider him an extra Round 1......Top of 3, consider him a Round 2.

Me personally, I have 3 to 5 players In hoping is there at that spot outside a crazy player falling. Otherwise I trade back and get more picks in this insanely talented draft class

But, also what the data shows above, certain positions picked at that spot, tend to do better than others.

Again, LB or OL, you sprint to call that pick in.

Otherwise, BPA or trade down.

We have some SPORTS on TV this Week.

1) What you wrote, pick 33 has a solid player available & I think Tobin/Taylor agree.  They'll hold firm at 33.

2) Taylor, in his live chat, said pick 33 is an advantage because Bengals decision makers have the night and next day to think on the pick.  I speculate they like that advantage and will use the time to pick a player, not listen to trade offers.

3) I anticipate this remote draft results in less trades among all the teams.

#33 has always been a hot pick.  If you can get good value for it, you trade it.

(04-22-2020, 01:29 PM)Hammerstripes Wrote: Right, but the list of players with the same grade at #1 overall is going to be much, much smaller than at #33.  If there are 8-10 guys with similar grades on the board, move back, pick up an extra pick.

TBS, this is also the spot where teams who didn't get their QB they need in the 1st round will make some stupid offers. This is where Dalton will be traded (if he's going to be traded)...
