The team hasn't had a first-round pick survive an entire season since Kevin Zeitler in 2012. Cincy's last seven first-rounders have combined for all of 20 starts in their rookie years, half of those coming from Burrow before he went down with a season-ending knee injury in 2020As fun as it is for Bengals fans to daydream about stud prospects such as Penei Sewell or Ja'Marr Chase in stripes, the team is not one or two stalwarts away from title contention. A battalion of young talent is needed to fill in the roster around Joe Burrow.
Trading from the No. 5 hole all the way out of the first round would likely require multiple willing partners, which of course are not always so easy to find. But if deals were available, the Bengals could flip that No. 5 choice into half a dozen or so of the top 100 prospects, plus future premium draft capital, which would hopefully hit when the team indeed is just a player away. Dealing for depth also plays into the strengths of this draft; Cincy's needs are mainly in the trenches, where the 2021 class is very deep on both sides of the ball.
Meanwhile, being drafted in the first round by Cincinnati is like donning chain mail and venturing out into an electrical storm.

The problem with multiple draft picks is that means even more rookies to pay something SoP is loath to do.Jmble wrote: ↑Wed Feb 24, 2021 6:04 pmHere is ESPN's "Daring Move" for the Bengals posted today along with moves for all of the other 31 teams.

Sign me up for this I would be fine with 3 picks in 2nd round and 3 picks in 3rd round along with an extra 1st or 2nd next year.Jmble wrote: ↑Wed Feb 24, 2021 6:04 pmHere is ESPN's "Daring Move" for the Bengals posted today along with moves for all of the other 31 teams.

Ouch, that goes back even farther than I thought.
The problem with this starts with trading out of the first round, ESPN has literally become a joke and this is no exception. Yes we need holes filled but we see this done in FA on a yearly basis. You don't trade out of a round just because you haven't had luck in the recent past. They need to take someone in the first and break this awful trend! Oh and F' ESPN!Jmble wrote: ↑Wed Feb 24, 2021 6:04 pmHere is ESPN's "Daring Move" for the Bengals posted today along with moves for all of the other 31 teams.
