1) Chase = B.

Legit talent. #1 WR was a need. OL was/is the bigger need. Wrong priorities. Again.

2) Trade down then Carman = D.

Getting two 4ths saves it from an F. Guy has size but lacks. top end athleticism AND has poor technique AND we are moving him to G. Passed on first round OT talent AND passed on top tier IOL guys sans Dickerson. This feels mire Drew Sample than Bates or Mixon or Boyd.

3) Ossai = B+.

Good value pick here. Has some positional versatility. Need at the spot. Good pick.

Rd 1: Expected. A tad disappointing in terms of priorities. But Chase is electric and that is exciting.

Rd 2: WTF. I don't anticipate 2 4ths amount to much. I'd like to see us move up into Rd 3. Meinerz still out there?

Pretty much agree with everything you said.  I feel bad for Burrow and Joe Mixon because it will be more of the same this year.  We could have fixed the OL with this draft and had a competitive team.  I feel like we will be drafting in the top 5 next year and are probably the worst team in the division again.

That happens every year though. Either the Steelers or Ravens are going to grab a guy we are interested in.

Maybe he's thinking of Walter Mondale...he just died recently.

Is 6”1 not pretty damn small for a OG?

[CarolinaBengalFanGuy]

The Texans traded up? They already had no picks

Yes the green has some of the strongest hands of all interior alignment and can play center He's going to be a problem for several years for the Bengals.  Green was the must-have pick I had.

I have been banging on the FB drum for years and years on a very lonely hill. Lol

I really would've liked adding him in the 4th too.

Motor guy with good blocking skills and decent receiver.

When I look at his tape I imagine that's what Sample should've been for us.

True, but he just makes plays, good damn TE.

I feel sorry for Brett Kollman. He loves his Texans and that last head coach literally just screwed them for like a decade

They're more about the quality rather than the quantity of the players they can make miserable.

I would argue some Bengals fans were jealous of the Texans for a few years there.

Of course.

I’m surprised JPoore made a few posts after the CFB championship since he was on what I thought would be a life long bender.

Yea and it's not surprising of a Div3 Guard that hasn't played since 2019.

Meh, most of us here survived the 90s with little to no ill effects.
