Ditto! [If I ever have the good fortune of winning this contest (twice lost on tiebreakers), instead of accepting your prize, I will instead direct you to give the Bengal gear to deserving kids in your own neighborhood…creating brand new Bengal fans. I might even throw in some $ to increase your reach.] 🦗

I’m pretty sure that we have the 17th pick in Round-2 (49th overall), so at least two of these players are guaranteed to be available. 😎

Bengals need to replace some of the locker room bath towels with beach towels. 🥷

Meanwhile, on “Ghosts”, Pete discovered that his ghost power is that he is not confined to the estate, went with Jay to run errands, and got left behind… 👻

We could trade back about a half-dozen spots, still get a player that most of us be happy about, and would have plenty of draft capital to do some more damage in rounds two and three. 🦗

I’ve been wondering if this signing makes it easier to trade him.

…but just maybe he will one there. 🥷 [Sorry, I couldn’t resist. 😎]

Vegas obviously saw my guess in Jason’s contest. 🥷

Come on, Mike, at least proofread it once before posting. 🤨

It does make you…uh…wonder. 😎

Should we now ask that this thread be pinned?

“Fatal error”??? 💀 That’s a bit harsh. I prefer the Bengals trade back a few slots in round 1, still get a really good player and get an extra 3rd round pick; then use other draft capital to either move up in rounds 2 , 3, or 4 to get the guys they want, and/or to get even more picks in the sweet spot. However, what is likely to happen: SOMEONE will unexpectedly still be available at 18 that they just can’t get themselves to pass on. “The player we have ranked 13th is still available…!!!” We then spend the next few rounds waiting and hoping that certain players fall to us…being disappointed a time or two, and lucking out a time or two. …at least it won’t be fatal. 😎 It will be what it will be…and after each pick, this board will be live with discussions (and sometimes disgust) about the players that we should have taken instead. I’m looking forward to seeing what most of you have to say…😎

Read the rules and re-enter with tie-breaker included.

What do you mean by “IF”??? 😎

It would be interesting to see how Goodberry’s rankings last year aligned with the actual selections. 😎

Rams / Bengals Super Bowl coming up right now on NFL Network…in case anyone is a glutton for punishment.

Strange wording. Why not just say, “…with the first four picks coming in the top 100.” ??? 🤨

I thought the worst draft decision they are referring to was not trading that pick for ALL of New Orlean’s picks.

Say it ain’t so…

I would visit go-bengals.com on a regular basis and formulate each year’s draft strategy based on posts made there. 😎

…and I thought of that exchange while I typed in that word. 😎

The Broncos have to play the Chiefs twice, while the Chiefs play the Broncos twice.

Based upon the plethora of mock drafts, and the knowledge of the potential players spewed forth in this forum, I would recommend trading back a few spots in Round-1, still getting a coveted player plus some additional draft capital. THEN using our draft capital to move up in Round-2 and/or get a second Round-2 pick…or Round-3 pick. Let’s have more picks in “the sweet spot”, wherever that might be. 🦗

Probably meant to say “…more than one of them” and just didn’t bother to proofread it.
