Hello everyone! Sorry I have been absent. I would like to start a tradition for the next two-three months. The Rules are simple, you are to conduct a draft for the Bengals using 1 of 3 sites that are listed below. There is a new wrinkle this year. The rules now allow you to post up to 3 (one draft from each of the 3 sites) per month, and the winner or winners will receive accolades, and be adorned with rep points.
Trades are allowed. Make sure you list which draft site you use when you post your draft
I wouldn't mind going overboard reinforcing the DL. And taking gifts if they fall.
Hill, Ossai, Tufele, and Sample are free agents.
I'm really starting to want to poach a couple of the Brown's free agent OL. Jedrick Wills needs to fix his reputation. Would love to give him a shot at revenge. And James Hudson has been buried behind a great OL. And needs to come back to Cincinnati. Possibly our new starting guards. And they'd be familiar with our new OL coach.

This is hard for me to read for some reason
-Paul Brown “When you win, say nothing. When you lose, say less.”
I traded out of round 1 with Jags, got pick 36 + their 2nd and 3rd round in 2026. Then I made trade with Cowboys, I gave them #71 for #76 and grabbed Stewert. I also gave them our 5th and 7th round picks in 2026. I ended draft with two 2nd and two 3rds round picks in 2026, but no 5th and 7th. I also traded up for Judkins. I drafted a second RB because my goal is to cut Moss and Williams and save cap space.
36.Walter Nolen DT Ole Miss (trade back)
49.Grey Zabel OT North Dakota State
65.Shemar Stewart EDGE Texas A&M
76. Quinshon Judkins RB Ohio State

118. Jaylin Noel WR Iowa State
154. Howard Cross III DT Notre Dame
195. RJ Harvey RB UCF 2026 JAX 2nd
2026 JAX 3rd
Please use 2025 free agency to fix the trenches, not the draft!!!!!!!!

I actually like this mock, a lot. I listen to NFL radio on the daily, Jim and Pat both think that Grey Zabel will be a top Center for life in the NFL, and could play anywhere else on the OL until his time to take over at Center comes. I like both of the DL picks, I think that both of their floors are as solid starters with high ceilings. Quinshon Judkins, that dude can lay a block, carry the rock and has a stiff arm that would make Derrick Henry smile. I like the WR from Ia St., but honestly I don't know a thing about RJ Harvey.
Overall it's a good haul, however it means that the Bengals must get LB, S, and Secondary sorted out via free agency.
Volson is meh, but I like him, and he has far exceeded my expectations
#3 of 3 for me. Tons of trades and picks for 2025 and 2026.
