I'd give this draft a solid A, we got some very good players and we didn't reach for anyone. I'm very happy with the guys we got because they fit what we do. We've drafted very well over the past few years and I think this year is no exception.
I'm very excited for RB Brown and to see what he's going to bring to this offense. He was very exciting to watch at Ill.

Re: Rounds 4-7 Draft Thread
Idk I’m kinda meh about it. Don’t disagree or dislike any pics, but there is nothing to be excited about for next year. Like y’all the window is NOW. In hindsight, I would have liked another offensive weapon for Joe. I could see Mayer winning a playoff game for us over Myles Murphy.

1 We couldn't protect Burrow, injury.
2 We couldn't stop Mahomo...
This draft addressed # 2 for sure, we've already got the weapons on offense we just need the O-line depth to keep him upright.
Sorry if I'm being pushy I just feel like this was a very good draft.

I'd like to point out that every Bengals pick is athletically above average and all those in the green are considered elite athletes. That's pretty darn good honestly.

I can’t revisit it but we had every chance to win that game despite the factors you listed aboveMeatHeadbengal wrote: ↑Sat Apr 29, 2023 11:11 pmWe didn't win the AFC championship game for 2 reasons.skycruiser wrote: ↑Sat Apr 29, 2023 9:56 pmIdk I’m kinda meh about it.

Re: Rounds 4-7 Draft Thread
They were actually going to draft Sorsdal in the 5th, but the Lions beat us to it. He would've been the great depth piece at T&G with upside to be a good starter. Otherwise, the depth is fine. The most important thing is for the unit to play together, especially the interior. LT to RG is set for at least another two years. Between Jonah, Carman, Adeniji, LC (if rehabs in time), and Ford, we should find a solid RT and have adequate depth. I would've liked an upgrade in the interior, but Scharping having a second season here plus adding Ford to the mix should make us better. I believe this will be a top 15 unit.
Re: Rounds 4-7 Draft Thread
I am surprised over no TE drafted. I still think thy are going to do something with that position. I wonder if there is a June 1st cap cut player they have their eye on. If not may pick up one that gets cut at the end of training camp.

Re: Rounds 4-7 Draft Thread
You're going to have to come around to same conclusion I finally did......they just don't value the TE position the same as other teams do.
The Benglas simply aren't going to put the emphasis on finding a TE that many fans feel they should. When you finally come to this realization like I ultimately did you'll sleep better at night.
