We almost have to use a top 100 pick on both OT & NT now. IDK if I risk Jackson being gone by 80. I'd like to take WR in Rd 2 (Pearsall). OT Rd1 (Fuaga, Latham, Mims). Assuming Sweat is gone Rd2, Jackson Rd3 + a CB (Melton, Hart, Jackson).
If we sign a WR/CB on a smart deal, we maybe go TE/IOL with the other top 100 pick (Sinnott, Stover, Johnson; Mahogany, Zinter, Haynes, Puni). Or can go BPA if someone falls.
We usually tend to emphasize weak draft positions in FA. S & TE fit that pattern. As does the Rankins DT signing. Letting Reader walk breaks it.
So in your mind, the season is lost due to not signing one player, Reader. Please confirm my take on your post is correct.
We can circle back and see if you were correct, you seem to voice strong opinions in here, let's see if you take is correct or not.
2024 may go on record as one of most underperforming teams in Bengal history. Bengal's FO has major work to do on defensive side of the ball. I say tag and trade Tee Higgins in 2025 to start with the rebuild.
