Christian Haynes Seahawks- 2024 3rd RD pick
Jackson Powers Johnson  Raiders - 2024 2nd rd pick
Cole Strange Patriots- 2022 1st RD pick- Paul Dhener mentioned him in the Athletic yesterday!

There is no way Jackson Powers Johnson gets traded.  A 2nd round draft pick last year that played well and is still just 22 years old?  I dont see why the Raiders would trade him.

If Patrick was gonna be it in FA, then they should have drafted another OG high in the draft. Period. 

Nothing against Knight as a player, or Stewart as a prospect, but we had more immediate needs. Trade down or get that LB/DE help later. 

Wilson, Pratt, Burks, Carter would have been liveable at LB. Or Wilson, Burks, Carter + another LB pick later. 

Imagine if we had taken Grey at 17 (looking very good for the Seahawks) and taken Fairchild in the 3rd still... Set for life!!

I wanted a situation like that to happen. If we fail to protect Burrow our season and possibly this era of Bengals ball is over. If the defense sucks we still have a chance. 

Is it concerning no other team has signed Risner? I would say yes but at this point for the price it doesnt matter. Sign him.

It is what I would have done. Or Donovan Jackson. 

But I am more optimistic on Stewart because of camp. Though I fear most of it is because our OL depth is crap.
