No kidding.  It seems the Bengals are planning for the Ravens.  Hope it works.

[Nicomo Cosca]

Prince the very next pick. Lol

[Fan_in_Kettering]

I totally get it. For the past five seasons, maybe longer, our linebackers have been a shit show. I can’t blame Lou Anarumo for loading up.

I dunno, AJ at X and Higgins at Z with Boyd and Ross in the slot is dynamic!  I think whether or not AJ gets a new deal depends on his health.  Cincinnati gave him the rest of last year off to get over all the nagging constant injuries.  If he can come back and stay healthy, I could see a 2 or 3 year deal.  If not, I think they part ways.

I love this draft for the Bengals. There's going to be a ton of UDFA WR's, we can bring some in and have them compete in camp.

[CJD]

That's a lot of linebackers.

Hoisting a glass to you, sir!

[The Stars In Stripes]

I hope we can also bring in Chris Orr UDFA

[leonardfan40]

Sweet! Liked Bailey for a while now. Steal in the 7th. Mentioned him earlier but wasn’t sure they’d want another rookie LB. glad we got him, another Ohio kid. Solid all around player at LB

Might get Adams as a UDFA yah never know too.

If he can stay healthy... great 7th round pick.

Nice TSIS.

Remember his name, so he must of had some effect on me when I watched Purdue his junior season.

Could be a steal.

and he is our 6th team captain drafted

Don't need them and won't make it anyways.

Love it, leaders everywhere, who was the only pick that wasn't? Tee?

[RunKijanaRun]

Good draft overall but these last 3 picks were horrible, even controlling for the rounds in which they were made. It’s so frustrating. There were much better players in positions of need each time.

Honestly I love it.

 Teams play defense in the AFC North and the Bengals have forgotten that over the last few years.

I am sure there will be some decent interior OL as UDFA's.

Davis-Gaither as well, I think.

[*TheLeonardLeap*]

Glad they made some effort on LB (though their draft history is a graveyard of 3rd round LB busts) but I wished they made some more effort on OL.

Hopefully they have a trade or something in the works that will help the OL.

[cinci4life]

KJ Hill to Chargers.
