Winner(s) will receive some fine rep and hopefully rep from all other board members. Hell we used to do fancy little icons for contest winners...what ever happened to those?
Cool buddy, I will pick Eluemunor at RT.
RE: Pick the 1st FA - THE PISTONS - 03-11-2024
IF the Bengals did get Wilkens or Barkley, it wouldn't be Day 1. It would be later when other teams didn't meet their price.
I think we add Ekelar at some point.

I’d say DT, and I think pick 18 is going to be RT. It makes too much sense. Dark horse pick is WR given how we treat franchise tags

With Higgins now saying he's requested a trade, I lean even heavier into the above, as I think the plan is to draft a WR in Rd 1 or 2 this draft.
RE: Pick the 1st FA - Nicomo Cosca - 03-11-2024
Sounds like the Bengals are interested in Kendall Fuller.

So we'll need a WR, DT, and OT. Those are the absolute priority 1 needs.
I think Reader might come back. So DT isn't such a huge need then although we need more pass rush at DT.

I would argue that's not a top priority, more of a luxury.
Bengals had a respectable 44 sacks in 2023, tied for 18th in the league.
Just four more would have put them tied for 7th.
I think interior pass rush is something good to address in Rds 2-4, maybe even Rd 1 if they get WR, NT, TE, and RT ironed out in FA.
Right now, my money is on NT, RT, and maybe TE being the focus in FA with WR and interior pass rusher something for draft.

I'm saying replacing Reader is a priority. Maybe the retain him.
I agree. If they keep Reader, then it moves to the 2nd or 3rd Tier of priorities.

I sware it was Cappa that signed a deal minutes in, I'd be happy to have something similar

Yep it was Cappa. He signed at 12:01.
RE: Pick the 1st FA - THE PISTONS - 03-11-2024
There are A LOT of good free agent safeties. Bengals might wait until the dust settles and get a value deal.

Cappa was like 5-10 minutes in and then Karras about 30-45 minutes later if i remember correctly.
