Yeah, it's really kind of annoying to, not even bite on it, but to just put your lips on it...knowing that it's not even remotely possible in the real world without massive adjustments on 2 or 3 sides. It's simply unheard of.

That guaranteed will not be the DTs going into Game 1.
The Bengals will add one DT, if not two.
People just getting impatient.

One would hope not.  This team is good at a lot of things, but drafting DTs and o-linemen ain't one of them.  If they go into the draft with both as clear immediate needs, then it's a concern.

We’d probably have to give up our 1st, Tee and a 2nd next year.


Vikings have no QB, they’re rebuilding. Ok that’s all I got for reason it would work. I have a million why it won’t.

That makes no sense. Especially if we can just wait a year & get him anyway. Tee + 1st is too steep.

Yeah for a team signing a NT.

David Newton
@DNewtonespn
The Panthers have a NT. They have agreed to terms with former Giants, Rams tackle A 'Shawn Robinson (6-4, 330) on a three-year, $22.3 million deal, a league source confirmed. He reunites with DC Ejiro Evero from their time with the Rams. First reported by NFL Network.

His athletic profile mirrors Chris Olave, but NFL.com has his NFL comparison as Alex Erickson.
I wouldn't be mad about the pick, personally.

Pearsall is talented but if I'm taking a WR out of the state that I live in it would be Coleman out of FSU or the other FSU WR Wilson later.

Could he agree to an extension here before the trade?
This would also avoid a bidding war with other teams.

Originally, I thought the draft was gonna have some good NTs for Day 2.
With Nazir Stackhouse and Dontay Corleone choosing to return to school, it's limited the pool for NTs (at least the ones I'm interested in).

If the Bengals do go into the draft without any decent starting NT, I feel they may reach for Sweat at 18.
Personally, I think they could pull off a trade with Arizona to send them 18 and 49 for 27 and 35.
They could use one of those two picks for Sweat and the other for a RT/WR.
I think 18 though would be too rich for Sweat and he may not make it to 49.

Only think of such acts if the guarantee is a Super Bowl victory.

Coleman is slow af and Wilson hasn't proven a thing yet he's all hype and he's more of a TE than a WR.

One DT isnt going to get the job done.  You cant just re-sign Reader and think you have a defense good against the run.  You need a couple of good run stuffers that you can rotate.   Cleveland and Baltimore will try to run it down our throat so just having Reader is not enough.  Also, no "value" free agent is going to work either.  You need a couple of legit run stuffers added to this defense.  Re-signing Reader and drafting Sweat would be a good start

Also lacking from last year and again this year is a pass rushing DT.  We did not generate enough pressure from the inside.  That should be addressed.  From the way I see it the Bengals really need to add 3 DT's with free agent signings+the draft.

My draft sleeper at wr is Devontez Walker

Wilson has potential but he's kind of a boom or bust pick IMO.

I've always appreciated your willingness to take one for the team.
