Bengals.com Media Mock

[*ochocincos*]

Hobson posted an interesting scenario that I think (or hope) is being considered within the organization now, which is a trade back.

In the mock (link below), four QBs go in the first four picks. Lawrence, Wilson, Jones, Fields.
All of Sewell, Chase, and Pitts are on board at 5.
However, rather than take their preference, they take a trade offer from CAR, who wants to get the remaining "elite" QB, Trey Lance.
For compensation, the Bengals move back to 8 and receive Pick 39.

Pick 6 (MIA) - Chase
Pick 7 (DET) - Sewell
Pick 8 (CIN) - Pitts
Pick 38 - Jayson Oweh, DE Penn St
Pick 39 - Dillon Radunz, OT NDSU

Hobson did mention that if this were real life, there would probably be more of an offer than "just" Pick 39 to trade back from Pick 5 to Pick 8, but he didn't want to go too deep into what the actual trade compensation would be. He felt that the 2nd round pick was a "minimum."
