The draft is a crap shoot for teams even with 1st round draft picks.  Guys dont come into the NFL producing at Trey's level.  It usually takes some time even if you do get the pick right.  What 1st round pick has put up 17 sacks his first, second or third year?  You use a 1st round pick hoping to find a guy that eventually works out to be Trey Hendrickson.  You dont get that production right away.  You want that production right now?  I say the Bengals should demand a 1st round pick

Teams dont give uo a lot of draft capital for players with high salaries or coming off injury. Trey was a workhorse and make peanuts compared to Watt and Crosby for example.

Bengals would be stupid to trade Trey to move up 4 spots. I think Bengals will get mutiple offers with a 1st round included, team buying has Trey for 16 million, a steal. 
The question may be if Bengals will pull the trigger.

You made very compelling points on his value.

Bears gave Raiders 4 draft picks for DE Mack including 2 first round picks. Trey won't commande as much, but a lot more than some think in my humble opinion.

At the time, teams seldomly relinquished their first-round picks. But that changed Sept. 1, 2018, cutdown day in the NFL, after the Raiders traded Mack to the Bears for a handful of draft picks, including two first-round selections. That had been the first NFL trade in nine years involving multiple first-round picks going to one team for a veteran player.


Before Mack, the Bears sent two first-round picks to the Broncos for quarterback Jay Cutler in 2009. Mack had also been the first veteran defensive player to be traded for multiple first-round picks since 1988, when the Colts acquired linebacker Fredd Young from the Seahawks.
