2024 may go on record as one of most underperforming teams in Bengal history. Bengal's FO has major work to do on defensive side of the ball. I say tag and trade Tee Higgins in 2025 to start with the rebuild.

I like Hunt also. I wouldn't be pissed if the pick was Higgins, but I wouldn't be like "yeah" either...

They Bengals grabbing Tee Higgins
I know not popular choice, but like Robert Hunt a G/T from Louisiana so I hope we trade down and then grab him, he won't be there in round 3

This one has us taking Baun and then Claypool in round #3
No fan of Baun, but would happy with Claypool
I’m actually the exact opposite, I love Baun and don’t want claypool at all

Lance Zierline's mock is probably the perfect scenario

Tee Higgins is growing on me. Talented and comes from a winning program.

Did you happen to see Chris Simm's breakdown of Claypool? After watching it, I couldn't stop thinking about all the possibilities they'd have especially around the Red Zone.
If you have time, watch his breakdown on YouTube. It may change your mind.

I would be ok with Baun and Claypool but there is no way Claypool is there in Rd 3. I can't believe he isn't a first round pick. I'm on an island with my love for that guy, I guess.

I am also a Claypool fan. He will be a better version of Mo Sanu in my opinion so a great 3rd round pick.

If he is there in Rd 3, I will push LB to Rd 4....a nice Dalton trade where we absorb some of the contract for an additional 3rd would sure be nice, though...you hear me New England? Jacksonville?

LINEBACKER you people. One of these picks needs to be linebacker. The drop off from the third to the later rounds for backer is massive. And I like Terrell Lewis from Hama wayyy better than Baun of edge backer is where we wanna go

Jones,Baun, or Espinoza for me. Love a ton of WRs , but a stud is going to be available in both three and four.

I do think BB has added extra picks in later rounds to use for Dalton trade.
I also will be shocked if Claypool is not gone by middle of round2.

I am not as big of a Mims fan as most. I'd rather have Tee Higgins or Pittman. Guys who struggle with pressman coming out scare me, Ross had similar issues against elite press man corners in college, and I get a bit of a Jerome Simpson vibe in that he is boom or bust.

Half the teams in the NFL failed Lewis medically. The other thing is Lewis is a pure edge guy, Baun can play some off ball backer which gives him a little more versatility.

Mims and the DT from TCU are wasted picks at #2. This would piss me off about as much as Sample in the 2nd did.
When Mims faced NFL caliber CBs (TCU), he didn't fair so well, 57 yards, and twoTDs in three overtimes. Georgia, a good defensive team held hm to 75 yards in the SugarBowl. He does have upside. Ts, I don't like reaching for a WR at #33, when 45 of them were invited to the combine. Forty five!!
He'll probably be he damn pick, though.

Higgins definitely has his questions, I would like Hunt better agreed and would love Baun and Claypool myself.
