The normal NFL Combine will not happen in covid 2021.
Not as much data can be collected on players as a normal year.
Add in The Bengals of fewest scouts in NFL, greatly depend on sending coaches to the Indy Combine that will not take place now.
Add in 2020 covid football season and some teams played little or not at all. Many top players have been seen very little since 2019.
Fans on here that think they know who to draft every round, must be throwing darts at names on a board, or related to players.
I see a Draft coming of too many question marks and unknows. This hurts a last place team like Bengals who are by history less free agent and more draft. Of few scouts they are poorly prepared in a regular draft, and this covid thing even worse.
The Bengals who have so much going against them of 30 years without a play-off win, and two straight last place seasons, could have used a good regular combine and draft. They will not get one. This will be picking a pig in a poke and hoping they get lucky. IT IS ALL MORE BAD NEWS FOR LAT PLACE BENGALS, this no regular Combine in covid. People like the phrase, " It's All Good ". In this case, " It's All Bad ".
Bengals need Blocking and Defense. Somehow they have to find it with almost no scouting of players this Draft. Lots O Luck. To those that say all teams are in the same boat. No they are not. Bengals are still in this NEW DAY complete rebuilding mode after firing Coach Lewis, and are trying to move out of last place in a Division where you have to play Steelers and Ravens twice a year which most NFL teams would hate, plus Browns now looking good. So I say this funky, messed up covid draft will hurt rebuilding New Day Bengals more than most teams.
Somehow, I hope Bengals get Lucky and get good draft picks, and it will take a lot of Luck. I feel for Zac Taylor trying to rebuild awful, awful Bengals in all the covid problems of no preseason, now no combine. The cards are stacked against this young head coach trying to turn around an awful team.
It would almost be tempting to do as Coach George Allen use to, and trade all picks for NFL players you know can play in NFL. Bengals would never do that, it goes against Paul Brown build by draft. So what do you do, go on 2019 or just draft SEC, ACC or Big 12 of 2020 ? No Regular Combine Creates A Huge Problem For Bengals Still In Complete Rebuilding Mode.
