Bengals should make a move up to get one of the WR. They could package their 18th pick and Tee Higgins to move up to 8-9 and take Malik or Odunze.


They can draft a good WR where they are, Higgins was a 2nd round pick

Yep, no need to give up draft capital. I think Thomas and AD Mitchell have a chance to be just as good as the others. One or both should still be there

While we are on the topic of the Bengals, tell me about their former TE, Irv Smith Jr.

Not much of a TE

Edit: actually he’s the best TE in the NFL IMO. You all should drop Kelce and go with him.

They didn't lose anything special with Mixon.

40% of your cap to two players. Good luck with that.

Higgins is overrated, he makes an incredible catch and then will drop one while wide open. Super inconsistent. Boyd is the same. They’ve both made plays over the past few years but have killed drives as well. Both, as well as Mixon, are replaceable.

I think Brown has a chance to take lead back duties. Broncos gave Perine a similar deal to Moss and hardly played him.

I'd love to see them draft Thomas but this team still needs better lineman on both sides of the ball as well. Offensive line is still an issue.

They should draft Ricky Pearsall if he is there in the 2nd.

I thought y’all said Burrow has no pass protection? Elite QBs put up numbers no matter their weapons. Higgins is the number 2 anyways.

The last two times the Bengals made it to the AFCCG, their RB1 was Joe Mixon and RB2 was Samaje Perine

Joe Mixon is running back old and inconsistent at this point in his career. Boyd is old and doesn't get open. Higgins is young and talented, but disappears sometimes.

The only untouchable Bengals are Burrow and Chase and they both have to be paid their first big contract. Bengals need to build through the draft.

Young RB Brown looked heckin dynamic when he came back. Bengals just need a power back and they'll be keen

No secret. Any team in the NFL spending top-tier QB money has to draft smart and spend wisely. Of course, that may mean you can't keep your top-tier QB on the field for 17 games. Tough sport.

Yeh I dont think anyone would say Mixon was horrible.

He’s just replaceable.
