🇮🇹 Italian Bengals fans want Bowers 🤌🏻

^ Looks like they took the Bengals helmet logos off the new seats. 🤔 And that the green 'jungle' color scheme is here to stay (over orange and black).

At a time when some cities are ponying up over a billion dollars for an NFL stadium, 300 million for renovations is likely par for the course and not unreasonable. Especially as having an NFL franchise is a luxury that many cities would gladly pay for. To those who say "Have the billionaire owners pay for their own damn stadium!", I get the sentiment, but why would they, when other cities see the communal value in their product and are willing to subsidize them?

^ St. Browns contract just likely means Tee gets tagged again next year, which will continue to look more reasonable (at 25 million) with every new WR deal signed.

With 10 picks the Bengals need to be willing to move up. But you can really only trade for a pick that's on the clock once you know who you can select with it. So don't expect any pre draft trades. If there is an OT run and the Bengals will lose out on all the top 5-6 ... They have to be willing to package picks and be aggressive. I cannot handle watching Mims throw Myles Murphy around like a rag doll for the next 5 years in a Squeelers uniform.

The irony of Wiggins being chosen as a puke pick is he's likely the CB the Bengals prefer, even though most fans (including myself) like DeJean better.

... If Jared Verse slid I think the Bengals would be interested. They met with him as well. I actually like Darius Robinson, but view him more as a DT (he's played both).

^ Local worthless Cincinnati politicians better not fuck this up and try to run off the Bengals. "Accountability" for tax payers is a nice idea, but if they aren't going to apply it to military spending or foreign aid, then don't decide to be principled with one of the few joys we have left in this pre-apocalyptic hellscape. (gets off soapbox)

But now they have to wait 5 years to change again, per NFL rules.

The inclusion of the Broncos retro jersey twice a year only makes it worse, as they are so beautiful in comparison to what they will wear for the other 15 games.

Denver could have switched to these and had a top 5 uni in the league ... Instead they now have one of the 3 worst. #EpicFail

I'm surprised that Brian Thomas Jr, Fashanu, Wiggins, and Arnold all went unclaimed.

The 4 new uniforms so far ... It's sad how badly these were botched (only the Jets were a slight improvement, minus their black)

My unrealistic wish list for pick 18 ... 1. Joe Alt 2. Malik Nabers 3. Brock Bowers My realistic wish list for pick 18 ... 1. Amarius Mims 2. Byron Murphy 3. Cooper DeJean 4. Troy Fautanu 5. Olu Fashanu 6. Graham Barton 7. Darius Robinson

I will say that this year it was harder to think of a real puker than in years past, which is a good sign that the Bengals are sitting in a nice draft position.

My puke pic this year = Quinyon Mitchell * *(I like Power 5 schools in Rd 1, can't risk it on Toledo MAC level of competition)

It's the annual time where we see who has their Puke Pic 🤢 🤮 chosen on Thursday night. So who is the one player you do not want over any other in the first round?

If the Bengals go CB it better be White Lightning Cooper DeJean! I would also be ok with Rakestraw if they traded down in Rd 1. But if the Bengals take Wiggins or Arnold I will have to talk myself into the pick like I did Murphy last year (he was not on my wish list).

Bucky's latest mock ... Bengals pass on Mims (and he goes to Squeelers) 😨 to take a WR ... https://www.nfl.com/news/bucky-brooks-2024-nfl-mock-draft-4-0-dt-byron-murphy-ii-is-first-defender-taken-bengals-select-wr

Pollack on Graham Barton

I would be ok with Barton actually (especially if Mims is gone), as he could play all 3 inside spots (C/G) if there was an injury, so basically insurance on 3 OL positions.

It would depend who is available when the Bengals are on the clock. If Bowers, Mims, Fautanu, Murphy, and Newton are all gone ... I could see sliding back and taking Barton as an option.

Here is a full mock draft I could see happening, made up of guys the Bengals have shown interest in ...
