So if Caleb Downs is still available, do they still take Delane? Certainly hope not. Round 2 best linebacker available. Round 3 best O line Round 4 best Center

There were some sort of plans to turn it into a housing/entertainment/dining area complex but don't know what happened to them. That place has had a strange history since it was started back in the 60's.

Kenwood Mall looks like a third world nation now. He Who Shall Not Be Named will probably send a cruise missile though the entrance doors by The Cheesecake Factory into the food court. If Dexter Lawrence is there it is probably to hit on the wiggly giggly tweenies in Daisy Dukes that cover less butt skin than a jock strap.

I so agree. I'm so hoping. And I'm preparing to be sorely disappointed.

LLOL! No, just right.

I have full 100% confidence in Dookie fucking up the 10th pick in the draft.

FFS... Just when you thought it was safe to go back into the water... https://bengalswire.usatoday.com/story/sports/nfl/bengals/2026/04/11/bengals-mock-draft-website-weird-trade-keldric-faulk/89561888007/ Bengals mock draft from team’s website gets weirdChris Roling Bengals Wire The Cincinnati Bengals go all sorts of ways in mock drafts, which is fair more so this year than most others. Sitting at No. 10, it would be easy to see the Bengals taking the best player on their board when it comes to defenders. But at the same time, they also figure to at least keep an open mind about possible trades, given the major gains to be made by a move down. What would be surprising, though, is if the Bengals traded down, but also got super risky with the pick they end up making. The Bengals manage to do just that during a new mock draft from Geoff Hobson of Bengals.com, where they strike a trade down to No. 16 with the New York Jets. The Bengals cough up a fourth-rounder in the exchange, but add the No. 44 overall pick while moving down the six spots. Then they take Keldric Faulk. Hobson writes: “Yet Stewart flashed enough through his injury-laden rookie year to make the Bengals believe they've got a remarkably gifted big man who can consistently get to the quarterback. And, in Faulk, you'd have a guy who is legit NFL size (6-6, 280 pounds), has high grades as a physical AFC Northish run-stopper, and can play up and down the line. That's what he did for Auburn last year, and some argue moving him off the edge more is why he didn't match his seven sophomore sacks of 2024.” The concern here is Faulk wasn’t all that productive in college. It’s the same red flag that popped up about Shemar Stewart last year. Then, he had the contract standoff and multiple injury issues and never really got going. So, a 50-50 mock draft. Getting the 44th pick to go with their 41st after a small trade back would be a nice win for a team with lots of needs to fill. Taking the same roll of the dice on a red flag as last year…maybe not so much. A little surprising to see from the Bengals’ official website, but it does nothing if not drive the conversation in interesting directions, right? Go's "The Beast" Summary: Overall, Faulk has more “almost” plays than impact ones on his tape, but you bet on a developing, 20-year-old player with his exciting traits (he’s similar in several ways to Mykel Williams as a prospect). The character and upside are promising, but how early a team drafts him is dependent on its appetite for risk. An absolute carved in stone Dookie pick... Shemar Steward 2.0. However, the two second round picks sound intriguing. LB Jacob Rodriguez and a top O lineman? Top center in round 3? Maybe this is the year Dookie keeps digging through the mountain of horse shit and finds his pony.

Bengals seem to be cleaning house and getting rid of the dead wood. Hope they have something good coming in to replace it.

I cheated a little bit as I don't think Styles will be there and went with my draft crush going back months, Caleb Downs. He reminds me of (God and St Paul Brown forgive me), Troy Pileofpoopoo. Just me but I simply do not want a cornerback that high and do NOT want to see them reach and end up with the next Meh Murphy or Shit for Brains Stewart. I would trade down or back even for another second rounder this year and something high next. I said this earlier even before they cut Matt Lee but I want a Center and looking like the best will be available late 2 or 3. I also think they will hit free agency after the draft.

I voted assuming Styles and Bain will be gone at 10 and unavailable unless we trade up or Hell freezes over whichever comes first. If it came down to a choice between Bain and Downs... dunno what I would do. Wait and see.

⬆️ Yes, please But I'm still waiting for that pony I wanted for Christmas when I was nine years old, too.

I wish. He's gone.

Just saw that, waived Matt Lee. Mildly surprised esp with the timing. I was never that impressed, another of Dookie's 7th round wonders. He's off the Bengals.com official roster already, btw. Do they have someone who can step inside? Right now the offensive line is not a glaring red light but it is brightening up. Orlando Bloom Jr, Teddy Karris are on the way out as is Rent-a-Risner. Possibly Round 2 and definitely Round 3 target. BTW, I was suggesting a Center awhile back. Top Three Centers per Draft Blitz (?) Jake Slaughter, Florida Logan Jones, Iowa (Rimington winner) Connor Lew, Auburn Whatever... names to look for as a future Bengal.

The latest news is that the Giants have signed journeyman interior offensive lineman Lucas Patrick to a one year contract, per Ian Rapoport. Patrick, 32, has started 65 games (appearing in 113 total) since being signed as an undrafted free agent by the Green Bay Packers after the 2017 NFL Draft. He’s a versatile and well-travelled player, with 28 starts at center, 19 starts at right guard, and 18 starts at left guard. He’s played at least 1,000 snaps at each of those positions, and has played for the Packers (2017-2021), Chicago Bears (2022-2023), New Orleans Saints (2024), and most recently the Cincinnati Bengals (2025).

Yellow gold, sterling silver and diamonds $1312.49 marked down from $1749.48. from Fanatics. (no, thanks for me, btw)

I got a pair and sent them back. Cheap looking plastic stuff. Better can be had elsewhere. They're marked down for a reason.

I would take David Nojoku in free agency and lose someone named Tanner. If someone names Tanner clears waivers, add him to the practice squad. However, draft one? Not before Round 5-6 if then.

I guess the question I am asking myself is If Caleb Downs is there and they don't take him, will I be pissed? The answer is "yes". Rounds 2-3 await for sliders. 4-7 for ??? They have not done anything much with free agency but I think they will (should) become more active after the draft. To me, Downs is a solid pick and impact player. The other names being thrown around won't be there or are kind of shiny new toys, sort of.

Yep. Agree. The only way they get him is to trade up which is doubtful. Go tits to the wall to get Caleb Downs even if it does meant trading up a spot or two if the first nine morphs into something Caleb hungry. Still think one of the reasons behind picking up Kyle Dugger (besides the obvious) is to mentor Downs a bit. One of the things I got from the highlight clips when we first signed him was his pick 6's were from knowing or anticipating the play from the snap. Teaching Dugger the keys would be a big help.

Bringing in Dugger to mentor Caleb Downs for a year?

Good signing. We need someone to replace Jermaine Burton on the inactive list every week.

So what? We got Yes Sir somebody.

A Woke Forest CB who made third-team All-ACC... sign this guy up, Dookie.

Los Angeles Rams all-pro wide receiver Puka Nacua has entered a rehab center after some recent off-field issues. Nacua was recently accused of assault and battery by a woman who alleges he bit her on the shoulder on New Year’s Eve and made an antisemitic remark. Neither Nacua's attorney, Levi McCathern, nor the Rams, immediately responded to an email for confirmation. However, the New York Post quoted McCathern as saying, "He was in there a substantial period of time before any of these allegations broke with Madison, and he’s scheduled to be there for a while longer." "The combination of stories ya’ll have run is certainly a contributing factor," the attorney said, adding that Nacua wants to "improve his overall behavior in every aspect of his life that he can do it." Plaintiff Madison Atiabi says Nacua bit her and left teeth marks on her shoulder when they were in a van together later in the night, and she claims Nacua also bit her friend’s thumb. McCathern strongly denied Nacua made any antisemitic statements but described the bites as "horseplay." Atiabi and her attorney, Joseph Kar, claim Nacua made an antisemitic exclamation that emotionally distressed her when they were together in Century City. McCathern said "the whole claim is nothing more than a shakedown attempt" and that the bite "left nothing more than a temporary mark," according to TMZ. Nacua apologized for performing an "antisemitic" act on a YouTube stream last last year. Nakua discussed touchdown celebrations on YouTuber Adin Ross' stream, and, in the video, Ross instructed Nakua to spike the ball, flex and then rub his hands together. Ross, who is Jewish, has referred to the movement as his own "dance" or "emote." Many, however, believed the celebration perpetuated a harmful anti-Jewish stereotype. Nacua received overwhelming pushback and issued an apology. :::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::: Whatever. Glad he ain't one of ours.
