all these analysts saying we need a safety lmao like what?

[Whatever]

Really like Battle as a prospect. Should challenge Scott for the starting role.

[BengalsLUFC]

A ***** safety?

Really? Really? Not like we have a RT who doesn’t want to play for us a TE who appears to be made of glass or a RB who falls over with a strong breeze.

Maybe an over reaction but tonight hasn’t been great.

Yeah, Bowers is the best TE in college football.

Battle! Really like this pick.

[coachmcneil71]

Im good with Battle here.

[MasonDT70]

Lou did say he'd see them again later.

[WhoDeyK]

I like Battle but So confused with this pick

[Isaac Curtis: The Real #85]

Well, safety was off my radar, but Battle is a good player.

Somebody help me.

[BIGDADDYFROMCINCINNATI]

I love Jordan Battle, and I had him at a R2 pick, but glad we got him. This kid hits like Jack Tatum!!! He'll be our box safety and kick ass and take name!!!

[leonardfan40]

There we go! My favorite of our picks so far. Wanted offense but outside of Jones nobody there jumped out at me. Was Jones or Battle I wanted.

Those morons are acting like we lost our starting safeties this year or something.

[Clark W Griswold]

Wow another DB? Early prediction - don’t look for the Bengals to draft any DBs in the first 4 rounds of the 2024 draft…

[OSUfan]

I like the tape on Battle as well if not a bit better than that of Branch. This could really stir up the perceived depth chart at safety. Good selection and another high quality defensive piece in a pass happy league.

[BrownAssClown]

Lou is having a WhoDey-Gasm!

[Whatever]

Scott is pretty trash.  He had a 118+ passer rating when targeted last year.  Anderson didn't look good in preseason last year, either.  It was definitely a need.

[Rubekahn29]

Struggling to see the vision here. RT in complete flux, no starting caliber TE, and rapidly declining RB not addressed, however going after a positions that have several starters in front of the ones they are drafting???? Just don’t get it

Scott isn't a good starter and he's inexperienced.

We definately needed a Safety.
