The Jets have extra picks in rounds 4 and 5.
If Bengals could trade from pick 31 to pick 35 and get an extra pick in 4 or 5 out of the deal, and Jets get one more pick in Round 1, that would be a good deal for Bengals, IF the Jets are eager to move up 4 spaces and get an extra Round 1 in their much needed rebuild.
What the Bengals need will be there in early 2 just as much as very late 1. If Bengals can pull a trade back and get an extra pick in 4 or 5, that helps on last day of the Draft.
It's too early to judge the Draft, but it looks like SAFETIES are going to be big this year at the end of 1 and most of first half of 2. As for O Line, they seem to be more later in 2, nothing really at end of 1 or early 2. So if we lose Bates, and these Safeties are that good with Bengals first pick. Another view is Bengals take a DT after maybe maybe losing 2 top DT's in free agency. Who Bengals pick up in Free Agency or Keep in Free Agency will be a huge factor.
I still like the idea of trading out of the end of Round 1 and into an early 2 pick and trying to add a pick 4 or pick 5 in the deal. This would give Bengals a pick at top of 2 and at end of 2.
Any team willing to trade up into end of 1 and give Bengals a decent 2 pick and a pick no later than 5 would be worth it. Adding an extra 4 instead of a 5 would be a great deal for Bengals. If Bengals could trade back into 2 and get an extra 4, you jump on it. It can not be an end of 2, it has to be a decent 2 pick.
Trading the late 1 and 2 to a team for and early 2 and 3 plus and extra 4 and a 5 would be even better.
The Jets are in the position to trade up, it's just getting them or a team that is willing to want to. There should be a team out there that wants Bengals late 1 pick. I would dump it and work the draft. Since Super Bowl kills Round 1, move back and see if we can add get a good 2 and some extra picks in 4 or 5.
The Bears are another trade back option.
Trading back to mid 2 is Raiders as an option but they would have to give up good picks to move this far up. They might with The Draft in Las Vegas and they may want to move up.
As it is now, Browns should have the best draft, with Ravens right up there. Farther back is Steelers and Bengals. Since it was such a close Division, Browns and Ravens can get some good draft picks through the draft and are loaded on picks. Still, I like going to Super Bowl and Bengals can work the Draft and come out great. The Steelers had huge Defense problems and Big Ben retired. I see Steelers making play-offs for a one and done as a set back to a team that needs a lot of help, but their draft picks not very good. So Brown and Ravens should get even better, and Bengals should stay tough. Steelers could have some problems filling needs in the draft.
I still see O Line as Bengals top pick, but if they pick late in 1, it could be the DT from Georgia. Not a bad pick, but Burrow needs Blocking, so does Mixon.
