The closer we get to the draft the more scenarios of what direction the Bengals could go race through my head from different prospects to trade scenarios. This was a new perspective I considered and frankly I believe this is the best outcome I have had in running a simulation for the Bengals.
I was running this simulation on MockDraftDatabase because I feel as if their prospect rankings are about as accurate as anyone out there if not better than most. While trades are a part of the draft process I do feel this simulator has a tendency to offer trades that are far from realistic so a criteria I used was not to even consider any trade that I did not feel would be reasonable on draft day, keeping in mind that blockbuster multiple selection trades only generally happen in the top 10-15 selections.
Following is my trade recap, the draft selections, and then a breakdown of the consideration of the selection and notable other prospects that were on the board at the time of the selection.
