* I gave the Trey news its own thread. As it's huge.

Short arms are fine at guard or center (preferred), but at OT it's a huge impediment. It's why some of these OT get projected inside. But this draft also has some of that longest arms in recent memory with Mims and Paul at 36" and Latham at 35".

Dreams: Alt, Nabers, Bowers, Murphy Realistic: Mims, DeJean, Fautanu, Barton

... Plus he has a cool new battle scar from the wrist surgery

* If the Bengals trade up it needs to be for Alt, Nabers, or Bowers ... Potential franchise game changers. 🤨

... Imagine the Bengals trade up with Bowers on the board and the draft party at Paycor goes wild and starts chanting "Bow errs, Bow errs!" and then they read "JC Latham" off the card. 🫠💀

Just some Ohio kids, dripping in rizz 😎

🇮🇹 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
