We only have 6 picks, need to make the best of them or even trade back to add some more. Not give up a bunch for one player that for
all we know might be a bust even if I like Abdul.
Agree with you. This is the year to trade back and get some extra picks both because they don't have nearly as many picks as they normally do but, mainly, they have holes at every level of the offense and defense other than QB, WR (depending what happens with Tee) and maybe S.Again, my honest opinion based on what I've seen the past couple of years:
-Got 2 "questionable" CB's as it is that are coming off injuries.
-Need to upgrade at LB. They haven't had an impact LB in 10 years that really put any fear into an opponent and someone they could line up everywhere and that had to be accounted for.
-DE- Signing Trey to a LT contract at 31 years old and banking on him to be even close to the performance as he was this year is asking alot as he's a liability in the run defense but, mainly, because unless they get somebody on the other side to take the attention away from Trey, well, this team can still finish 3rd in the division and NOT be saddled with huge $$$ going Trey's way. I know it's unpopular but we are talking about the Bengals here.
-DT- Going on multiple years now getting exposed in both defending the run game AND creating interior pressure on QB's. EVERY team, but maybe 3-4, are still looking at that 1/2 technique DT.
-RB-They need another big back that can take some carries away from Brown to keep him fresh and also a guy that can fall forward and get those tough 1-2 extra yards and also impose their will on a tired defense when having the lead. Having another big RB might also sway Z Taylor from continuing to abandon the run on 3rd/4th downs and not continue to throw deep fades on those downs.
IOL- For years the pressure up the middle has collapsed this OL and it's freaking time they do something about it.
TE- Would love to get a talented TE that excels in both blocking anf getting downfield now that All is lost. I like MG alot and like some other pices but to get a guy that can be a 3 down TE would be great.
