Don't hate me

I think this is a 5 win team this year. I see them picking 10th next draft. They could still trade down for extra picks but at 10th, not a lot of room and value. A team may want Lance (QB) and make an offer but I don't know what the Bengals could garner if they have the 10th pick.

J. Chase WR would be considered high value at 10th pick and would reunite with Burrow. With Ross and Green likely gone next year, I think Bengals could go WR or even Freiermuth TE round 1 but I think Bengals could get that kid from Florida State (Terry) or Marshall from LSU in round 2 next year.

Would not surprise me one bit if they go DE (Rousseau) or Parsons (LB) before an OL in round 1. Maybe even Farley CB. They should take BPA (apart from QB), however, but damn, would not surprise me if they ignore OL again given Tobin's swing-and-miss record when drafting OL players early. Leatherwood may be a reach at 10 spot but would be so nice to have even at guard.

I still think Hakeem (6th rounder) has the most upside on the team and can be something special but not sure since the team is slowly moving him along. That guard for New England, Onwenu, was drafted in 6th round and I wanted Bengals to get him, he is rated as one of the best run blocking guards thus far. OL players can be found later in draft but it doesn't help when you have a nitwit as OL coach.

There are many holes on this team but I think the defense is a lot closer then many realize. Just got to protect that QB of future.
