Closed for new guesses. Sparky you have a little more time if you want to make a change.

My first preference at 17 is Jihad Campbell if he is there. He can cover and rush and is a solid tackler. He can be the playmaker this defense has needed for a while. It's a deep DL class, but not so much at LB.

Guard is the only position I wouldn't hate a double up. Especially if one is a tackle convert who could be a swing tackle at some point.

Ja'Marr AJ Isaac/Chad

From a pure talent standpoint I have him at 3 or 3a.

Indeed

Honestly, I don't know enough about the prospects to have a puke pick this season. I don't want RB or WR in 1, and I don't want someone I know would be a reach. Beyond that I don't really have one.

Does he have to win a Super Bowl? If he doesn't "have to" would it cement it if he did?

I think as of right now we would all agree that Anthony Munoz is still the greatest Bengals player ever. But.... I think both Joe Burrow and Ja'Marr Chase could eventually surpass him. What would they have to do to do that? Is that something they can achieve while still active players, or will it only be acknowledged after they are elected to the Hall? I often see questions on social media who is "your team's"/the Bengals greatest player. And my response is always Anthony Munoz for now, but Joe Burrow is coming on fast. Today I added Ja'Marr. Thoughts?

Thank you

You can change it after you post it, but not after I post it.

Ok, I have been doing this for 21 years now. You know the rules. Format: screen name - player name - tie breaker for example: Jason - Jihad Campbell - 95 Your guess will not count until it is in that format and is not protected from book ending until it is. Player's full name unless they go by their initials, but spelling doesn't count. No book ending Tie Breaker: pick number for Lathan Ransom Once you make your guess you will have some time to change it. But once it is entered in this post it is set. You must be a member of this board as of 8:45 am Saturday April 12 and a Bengals fan. Prize is any ONE ITEM up to $50 from the Bengals.com store. Contest closes for guesses at 8 pm Sunday April 20. Go-Bengals is not responsible for any aspect of this contest. Make your guess!!

The contest will open for guesses this Saturday, and close the Sunday before the draft.

Not him. Perine, Slaton, and the guard they added I think are all improvements on some level. Most of the rest of the roster is the same. If they lose Trey it's a HUGE step backwards.

Technically, Trey is still under contract, so, at the moment, better.

Unfortunately they didn't appear to be all that interested in the free agent guards. Which boggles my mind. From what I hear Donovan Jackson had a great pro day, and has massively long arms. He played very well for Ohio State, even after moving to LT halfway through the season. I wouldn't be mad at all if he was the pick at 17.

Honestly, even if it is a little bit of a reach, if the best guard is still available, that's who I want. Protecting Joe Burrow needs to be the #1 priority IMO.

I agree, but if they lose Trey they might take 2 and it would definitely make it a higher priority in round 1.

Tell me what happens with Trey.

My contest will happen this year.

TreVeyon? I would love that. But only if we pick up an extra second round pick (which is where I think he goes), or really fix our O or D line in free agency. I think he and Chase would be a dynamic duo, and he has REALLY impressed me as a pass blocker this season. His blitz pickup has been outstanding.

I am a little surprised Lou is gone, but not a lot. None of the other coaches were all that surprising.

Everyone wants Tee. Except the Bengals front office. Maybe.

It is absolutely criminal how often penalties happen to Burrow that don't get called.

Head says get the draft pick. Heart says win.
