That's what it feels like. Not a lot of teams trying to move up. https://t.co/oUetN47cXs

What that tells me - Bengals may end up picking someone who we may think is a reach, but in reality they couldn't find a trade partner for the compensation they want.
Or we may see them take a guy at a position we don't really consider a need because Bengals have them well above guys at actual positions of need.
At the end of the day, I just want someone who is going to have a big impact this year, as I feel that's about the only way this team will really compete for a Super Bowl.
They don't have a strong enough roster today that they can have the luxury of all draft picks potentially riding the pine and/or performing poorly.
Zac Taylor 2019-2020: 6 total wins
Zac Taylor 2021-2022: Double-digit wins each season, plus 5 postseason wins
Zac Taylor 2023: 9 wins despite losing Burrow half the season
Zac Taylor 2024: Started 1-4. Ended 9-8 but barely missed playoffs
Changes needed to do better in Sept/Oct moving forward.
