We have had Burrow, Chase, Higgins and keep missing play-offs. Why ? One of Worst Defenses in NFL.
Let's get back to yelling GO DEFENSE and Back In Play-Offs.
What is different from 2021 and 2022 good teams. No more star DT. No more Bates Motel. Less top DB's. Other than Hendrickson, less pass rush. Weaker at LB. Weaker across board from 2021 and 2022. So Draft and Reload.
Golden finds the cupboard bare on coming in here. The only direction is to reload on Defense, Defense and More Defense. Because the Bengals stink on Defense the last 2 seasons. Paying all this money to Burrow, Chase, Higgins means nothing if they do not try to add quality Defense in this Draft.
They Pick 17th in 6 rounds. and most or all should be Defense at D line, LB and DB, for the D is that bad.
GO BENGALS...Go OFFENSE, but also GO DEEFENSE....Back To Play-Offs.

Yes but we need to protect Burrow and give him time. I agree this draft should and most likely will be defense focused. But I want an OL in Rd 1 because they always go fast and picking 17 in Rd 2 we could be left out if there is a run early day 2 after more than expected go Rd 1. I also think an OL in rd 1 opens the door for later rd trade backs. But I know we desperately need a difference maker on defense so if the right one is there at 17 I'll be happy with that. A trade back in 1 is my real hope as we can get the most capital in return.
