I’ll admit, I don’t follow this stuff as close to some. But from past history, have the bengals ever done this? I know this is all theory and what ifs. But seriously??

Yeah, this is strange. I don't think we are seeing a team trade away the 2nd for the 28th for anything less than Joe Burrow.

[Garrus]

No player is worth giving all that up for unless it is a QB, which we already have. This is stupid.

[NUGDUKWE]

Just someone trying to be creative with the draft. No way the Bengals would do something like this. I wish we were at the point of just needing one impact player. But I think by the time the draft rolls around we will need several positions.

I don't even think of the draft when the playoffs are afoot!

The thing that sticks out to me is the value of Tee Higgins in this trade is around a top 10 pick.

I've seen a couple people talk about this mock and each went opposite ways on Tee's value. One said the Bengals would need to work in a future first to offset value. The other said the Bengals gave up too much and didnt need to give up the second round pick.

[*PhilHos*]

I mean, i could see us trading Higgins for a good draft pick, but there's no way we give up him AND all those draft picks unless there's a generational talent at #2 but at a position we could use one at .

[*bengalfan74*]

That doesn't sound anywhere in the galaxy of a Bengals move. Highly doubt it

In this hypothetical scenario, the Bengals could always leverage that #2 pick for a ton of draft capital on, or leading up to draft night.

[*pally*]

That is a ridiculous trade

[*Synric*]

Will Anderson looks like a game breaking edge defender but both Trey and Will would play the right side...

Lol add possibly trading Trey Hendrickson for a couple first round picks to this scenario and the Bengals would come out looking like geniuses.

[XenoMorph]

Nope not happening... Would take several more 1st round picks to move that far up.

[kurisu]

That sounds like nothing the Bengals would do, guy must be a Bears fan.

When did Forrest Gump become the Bears GM?

The Bears are at #2 and don't need a QB. A half game away from #1, and the Texans have been very competitive 3 weeks in a row (Cowboys, OT loss to Chiefs, W vs Titans). They are gonna be entertaining all types of trade back scenarios and their media will make up senseless stuff.

[BFritz21]

I saw that and it's stupid.

We'll want picks to build around Burrow and the defense, so no way we give up that much, especially for a defender.

I see why they think we'll trade Higgins because he's a free agent after next year, so he'll want a new contract this year and so will Burrow, so they think we'll trade Higgins instead of giving both extensions, but I don't think we trade Higgins.

[Stewy]

#1 WRs like Higgins have been going for 2-3 1st round picks and getting massive contract to boot. Even Madden wouldn't agree to this dumb ass trade. Might trade Higgins straight up for the #2 pick, then trade back and turn into several picks and draft a top WR + others.

This would be an idiot trade as is for the Bengals. Was this written by a Bears fan?

yeah written by a bears fan. (their version of CincyJungle)

But never address why the hell bengals would want to move to 2 overall
