Bachie's unsigned

The other theme has been high character guys. I may be in the minority, but a guy like Bond if available in round 5 would be worth the risk.

Oops meant Bachie replacement.

Another linebacker goes higher than expected. Bengals fans shouldn’t feel so bad because that’s just the way the draft has gone.

Obviously switching to more of a 4-3–and 2 LBs won’t cut it anymore.

Bengals front 7 has definitely been addressed.

We’re still waiting for the secondary to develop.
But we should get better pressure and have much better run defense if we can keep Trey for more than next year.

I'd like to see Shilo get picked before Shedur

LBs are going off like crazy

I feel like the last time the draft has gone this far with the "when will he go" was with the gay dude years ago.  I think that was the 7th round, I can't imagine Sanders goes that late but it does help ESPN/ABC's ratings. 

[BFritz21]

Why doesn't Sanders pull a Johnny Manziel and text a team telling them to come draft him so they can win some championships?

K.C. going with more speed at WR. I wanted Jalen Royals in the 4th. Good pick for K.C.

Apparently on day 2 someone prank called Sanders pretending to be the Saints GM saying they were going to draft him.  That's kind of funny but also a bit mean.

Quote:The two sides exchanged pleasantries before the other party told Shedeur, "It’s been a long wait, man. We’re gonna take you with our next pick right here, man." "Yes sir, let's be legendary," Sanders replied.  "But you're going to have to wait a little bit longer. Sorry about that." Then the phone call ended.  "What does that mean?" Sanders asked, appearing confused.

Plot twist...the Saints do take him in the 6th anyway and deep down inside he'll never know if that was ever a prank.

Tonka Hemingway is a unique name.

Eagles play alot more 335 than you would expect from an NFL team. They have Zach Baun who is a Hybrid Stack/Edge LB. 


Al Golden is hinting more of the similar we have seen. 425 base with 43/514 looks against teams that like heavy formations (Steelers, Ravens).

Didn't something similar happen with Mo Sanu?

Yes:

Quote:Sanu was the victim of an ugly prank Thursday night when a Rutgers student claiming to be a Bengals official told the wide receiver he was the team's first-round pick in the NFL draft. Sanu and his family celebrated, then watched in shock as the Bengals drafted Wisconsin guard Kevin Zeitler with the 27th overall pick.

Sanu's ordeal became national news, then ended with some ironic closure when the real Bengals came calling after 10 p.m. ET on Friday to take him in the third round with the 83rd overall pick.

I know nothing and like fantasy football. Give me Sanders, QB as Joe's backup.

Then, if we start the season 0-3, we can post fire Zac and hire Deion while speculating Burrow will retire early.
