most radical idea I just overheard. Washington is going to take Tua at #2 and trade Haskins.

Andy must be thinking that he wished he had this new retooled team. With all the FA moves there is an argument, not a new thought, for trading picks but ensuring one is an early 1st rounder next year. Then grab a QB in next years draft if they don't grab one after trading back. Tua sitting for year is not a bad option. All that said, I just can't see passing on Joe. This will be a fine topic to argue 5 years from now.

sounds like a good veteran to mentor the yet to be drafted and UDFA crop of LBs.

I have always disliked Charlie Hustle. However the lifetime ban seems ludicrous now when compared to what Houston received for what they did.

Why would NE offer a draft pick when they're as likely to get him as a FA when the Bengals cut him?

this is the year we get LaVar Arrington signed. I feed good about this.

I watched Van Pelt of PITT win an epic seesaw comeback vs A&M in the Sun Bowl, El Pase 89. The dude was slinging it.

RIP Sam, you gave us some great moments.

Two comments: DC fired Allen, that's more significant than the HC. He's an absolute dipshit. Marvin will get a gig as a DC. Wouldn't surprise me if it was in D.C. I agree with the opinion that no owner would have ML as a top 3 choice. But stranger shit has happened, hello Zach.

I'd rather take a chance on Marriotta

correct me if I'm wrong but during the run of 5 playoffs with AD and AJ, didn't the media rave about the Marvin and Tobin drafts? The only front office player guy that seems to consistently find good players in all the rounds is Ozzie. But even That Rats have some awful picks. I think the best model is New England, they just pick more players every year and their coaching staff is elite at getting the max out of them. But even they have whiffs. Statistically, it's unfathomable that the Bengals haven't won a playoff in 30 years.

Tua's recovery update is pivotal in the draft. And aren't there rumors he might stay in college, which I think is a really bad financial choice?

yup, not a fan of 1 and whatever

Firstly, good write ups and discussion. This is definitely not an easy decision on the draft pick. Mayfield, Darnold, and Rosen all taken before Jackson. Is Burroughs a can't miss? I personally don't feel as positive about him as I did Carson. Chase feels like the can't miss. Trading down seems like it usually is the best choice. But what if Burroughs turns into the franchise QB that the Bengals passed on. It'd be a dream if NYG moved into 1 to get Young. That's the cheery on top of all the other issues you all identified. Seems to be some decent LB FAs for 2020, but not OL. IMO Resign: AJ, there are so many throws the current WR whiffed on that he would've caught. And his attitude is consistent with the supposed new culture. Eifert, he's earned it Pay Mixon! He's earned it and again he fits the personality of the new culture. No trades Upgrade the coaching staff. After this season, no one's job should be guaranteed. Exception would be the special teams staff.

IIRC, Mike B preferred Colin over Red Rifle when he was in the draft. The opportunity to have both on the roster. Well, golly, that would sell tickets, wouldn't it?
