  1. But you can write off bandages on your tax returns. đŸ„·
  2. That's not how the Bengals operate. They are always considering future seasons with every move. Unlike some teams, this team will not mortgage the future.
  3. He could also be the next Isiah Pacheco, the running back selected by the KC Chiefs in the 7th round. Who knows? I would hope that the Bengals have spent some time looking at past drafts to try to determine what player traits or signs might have been missed that allowed players to drop in the draft
Tom Brady (6th round) and Brock Purdy (last pick of the draft) being the most widely known ones, and Rams WR Puka Nacua (5th round) from just last year. Will Tracy be another such player? None of us know. Sounds like he would at least be a good special teams player, and I’d be okay using a 6th-round pick on him, assuming we will have already heavily addressed our holes on the offensive and defensive lines
but I’m a Purdue guy, so I am admittedly biased toward Boilermakers. 😎 🩗
  4. He obviously just needs someone like Frank Pollack to coach him. đŸ„·
  5. Sounds like the grade should be: Incomplete
 
which makes sense at this point in time. At least one of OL and DT (and preferably both) HAS to be addressed before the draft.
  6. There are people in the world starving, or nearly so, and many more struggling to put food on the table. “Fighting for crumbs” was a poor choice of words to describe someone in a worse-case position to make $21.8 million. That’s my opinion, and I will stand by that opinion. 🩗
  7. From a Fansided.com article regarding Mixon trade: 😎
  8. IMO, you diminish the power of your whole post by characterizing trying to get more than $22 million as “fighting for crumbs”. But maybe that’s just me.
  9. The “problem” is that those picks come a year later. I know at least one of the value charts also listed values for “next year’s draft” and they were greatly reduced. I don’t know that teams view it that way, but I always thought that during the draft, we should trade perhaps our 4th-rounder (for a team looking to move up for a specific player) for next years 2nd-rounder
and then do that every year. You take the hit (lose the 4th-round pick) in the first year, but after that you have turned your 4th-rounder into a 2nd-rounder in each year’s draft. [Of course, this assumes you can find the needed trade partner each year
which is not a given. Those “next year” (or even the year after that) draft picks can also be accumulated through trades of draft picks and/or players.]. We should try to get our trade partners to throw in a pick in a future draft. Say, instead of a 2nd and a 5th this year for Tee, make it a 2nd this year and a 3rd next year. It would hurt a bit for this year, but pay off next year. New England Cheatriots recently went through a string of drafts where they seemed to always have one or two extra picks in early rounds that were “earned” by trade a year or two before. Let’s take advantage of the lower value associated with future year draft picks. 🩗
  10. OR
they can say that this was more proof, but just got caught with an egregious infraction and once caught decided they had to make the correction
this time.
