THE DUKE Posted April 6, 2021 Share Posted April 6, 2021 Can't believe a thing a GM says in an interview in April, but I agree with what he said. Deep OL draft the first two days, WR falls off fast. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah. He also hinted the Bengals have 0 interest in trading down. Said they covet elite talent over additional draft capital. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sparky151 Posted April 6, 2021 Share Posted April 6, 2021 Agree the Bengals need more elite players but they also have a lot of holes to fill. Going into the new league year the team needed upgrades at LG, RG, RT, TE, and WR3 on offense. On defense we needed RDT, RDE, LB, CB1, and SCB. In free agency we covered RTD, RDE, CB and SCB. We will probably re-sign Bynes for LB. On offense we've only upgraded RT. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
THE DUKE Posted April 6, 2021 Share Posted April 6, 2021 I think any TE we get this year will be TE3 behind Sample and Uzomah. RG we expect to be covered either at 5 or 38 LG will be a camp battle between XSF, Spain, and maybe someone like Easton. I don't think we need a WR3, we need a WR1 or depth (WR5) because if it's not Chase as WR1, then more than likely it'll be Auden Tate as WR3 and we just won't have a deep threat outside of Higgins. RT is covered with Reiff. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RT is covered with Reiff. That sounds about like what the Bengals will do but it's not a very good plan. If I'd been in charge, I'd have skipped the 15 mil for Hendrickson and used it to sign Matt Feiler for LG and Kevin Zeitler for RG plus Josh Reynolds for WR3. When Kyle Rudolph became available, I'd have cut Uzomah and signed Rudolph for the same money. Uzomah would be welcome back as TE3 on a minimum deal if he didn't latch on elsewhere. That would leave us with 1 hole, at RDE and about 20 mil under the cap, able to give Bates and Hubbard extensions. Then the draft would be open though the 2nd rounder would probably be a pass rusher like Carlos Basham. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RT is covered with Reiff. I think RG will be covered for 2021 from the first two rounds, but a long term starter comes in rounds 3-5. If we take Sewell, he goes to RT and Reiff starts inside of him. I've always said it's Chase or bust at WR in the first two days. Agreed about the rest, especially TE. If they somehow shocked the world and took Pitts, he'd be more of a WR anyway (Megatron size) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carson4MVP Posted April 9, 2021 Share Posted April 9, 2021 Thad Moss was released today. Wouldn’t mind seeing him come into camp as our 3rd TE. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
