If we lose Tee and Gesicki this off season we have to have weapons besides the Chase's. If the team is active in free agency and gets some help for the trenches I wouldn't be opposed to taking Emeka Egbuka at #17 f he's still there.
His game to me seems to look like a T.J. Housh kinda thing with some ability to stretch the field as well. I don't think it would be much of a stretch at all to take him there if all the best Dlinemen are gone.
What say you?
I could see Egbuka having similar results to McConkey if he gets drafted to. team with a very good QB. He appears NFL ready.
As for DL and OL, I just don't like the idea of drafting a plug and play starter as they're still boys going against men so most seem to need time to develop. I hope we fix our DL and OL via free agency.
The other guy I think who changes our team is Tyler Warren. I would be happy with either of the two.
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.
