I look at it like this....

Do I want JJ OR..... B Thomas & a 2025 1st along with some other less critical draft picks.

- Here's my math: Thomas would take the Bengals 2024 1st, so, trading that away is a wash. The other picks would be the 2025 1st and some extras.

The part I wouldn't love is Higgins AND the 2 1sts (2024 & 2025) because an early 2024 2nd I would move Higgins for to, say NE, puts the Bengals in a great spot for a very good RT to work behind Brown this season.

It is interesting. The only way I would do this if Bengals FO were to have the Jefferson 5-year contract agreed upon. It would be crazy to give up multiple #1 picks for a player not signed long. term. 

Vikings did trade Diggs. It would also give them more draft capital to move up to #3 or #4 and grab a much needed QB.
