Certainly different from this year. 3 CB's and 2 LB's in the top 10.

QB's early on not on top of draft. My guess is that changes. Who can we get in round 1 with 32nd pick?

It's definitely looking like a defensive-stacked draft next year.

Boundary CB I think may be the frontrunner if Turner or Hill (or Newton?) doesn't solidify the outside spot by season's end.

Bengals will also have the following positions with impending FAs next year:
WR2 (Higgins)
Slot CB (Hilton)
RT (Brown)
C (Karras)
TE (Gesicki)
3T (Hill)
K (McPherson)

If these draft picks can pan out quickly, all of the above except K might be covered going into next season.

I think gesicki getting a 3 yr deal after this year.

With...the Bengals?

He'll be turning 29 in early October.
I can't see Bengals being willing to offer him more than 2 years, like they did Rankins.
And I don't think it would be for more than $6 mill APY, based on what they've been paying the TE position since Taylor took over.

We also thought they were going to sign Uzomah to a good extension...he walked. Same with Hurst...he walked.

Guess we'll see next offseason.

No WVU OT Wyatt Milum?! Some DTs I really like next year.

Seems omitted for sure...good catch

Looks like Jenkins has good company following him.  Graham and Grant both in the top 20.

Kenneth Grant....

And...the board updated. That 1st one seemed incomplete with heights and weights. There are now some rearrangements also. Wyatt Milum has appeared as a 1st rounder.

[DYT-Flyer]

Mason Graham is probably going to go top 5 next year, atleast he would this year.

[DYT-Flyer]

A good 70% of those players need to develop next year or would not have been drafted in the first round this year or the previous draft. As a Michigan fan, Graham and Will Johnson are genuine top 10 material. Grant is really good, too - but isn't as refined as Graham or the player we got this year (Jenkins). He can be better than Jenkins and worthy of a first round pick, Graham is the one to really look out for.

Tyler Warren is gonna be high up on the bfine wishlist

Tyler Warren had some nice body control twisting TD catches in 2023. Penn State has another up and coming TE Jerry Cross. 


Donovan Edwards RB from Michigan is a guy I'll be watching as an all around back. 

[Essex Johnson]

Thin at WRs, hope our picks work out past two drafts

Most of those players are projected with an assumption they grow in this upcoming college season, and by how much.

That was an impressive run-down by a big man. Not quite as impressive as Vita Vea's big run down the field, yet still something to take notice of.

Bengals have invested quite a few picks into Michigan players in recent years - Dax Hill, DJ Turner, Kris Jenkins, Brad Robbins, Chris Evans

I'd like to see some of these guys start paying dividends for the Bengals.

It was very memorable especially after Kenneth Grant jumps off the tape in his first couple snaps that game.

Well, here's the SECOND snap of his I've seen...Wow. https://t.co/FnmGulX7tr pic.twitter.com/tc7oYINq3K

Im just glad we got away from OSU picks, so many failures I lost count

I have watched alot of USC and the Pac-12 this off-season too bad it doesn't exist anymore lol.


I'm looking forward to seeing USC's Jonah Monheim at Center in 2024. He was a good tackle in '23 and '22.
