What Are Your Priorities In This Draft?!

The draft is chess, not checkers.

Problem is the Bengals have pretty much pigeonholed themselves.

 No matter what Guard will be taken in the top 100 even if they are reaching for a guy at #81 similar to the NT/McKinnley Jackson situation in 2024. Impact DL is the next one pigeonholed because they have let the DL they built slowly decay. Also because of roster construction (paying qb & wrs) the Bengals need to drop top draft capital in high cost positions like Edge & DT.
