Big drop-off for QB's in case Miami wants to give us their draft and a new alligator. https://bleacherreport.com/articles/2817773-2019-senior-bowl-matt-millers-biggest-nfl-draft-winners-and-losers#slide5 There's also a list of injuries if you want to see who we're really drafting That linked to a 2019 article. But I hope we don’t take Daniel Jones...
January 22, 20205 yr comment_1608580 The Ketchup Whisperer was on NFL radio and FWIW he said the North squad has far more talented OL than the South
January 22, 20205 yr comment_1608588 As to this year's roster. Turner liked him some Richie Ingonito; and that guy is there in the form of Logan Stengerg. Also keep your eye on DB Kyle Duggar.
January 25, 20205 yr comment_1608649 Stenberg has great size & motor as well as a wicked nasty streak and is good at his job. At times though, his aggressiveness can have a bit of a downside in jumping early and the occasional personal foul/unsportsmanlike conduct. Fearless, he'll be the first in the face of any defender that takes a cheapshot at a teammate (especially his QB). A definite enforcer-type.
January 25, 20205 yr comment_1608656 Jonah Jackson at the top of R3, is that too much to ask? Day one starter at either G spot..guaranteed.

January 26, 20205 yr comment_1608711 I like Stenberg and watched him in the bowl game against Virginia Tech. He had a couple bad penalties one for unsportsmanlike but still like his physical play.Sent from my iPhone using Go-Bengals.com mobile app

The Bengals sold everyone on Marvin Lewis being the problem but Tobin looks to be very incompetent.

The first clue is always when your draft team shows no interest in bringing you back after 4 years. Those are called Red Flags.
January 28, 20205 yr comment_1608790 I wouldn't mine a KJ Hill. My issue with him, is if he is not involved early in the came, he seems to shut down. Other than that I want at least one good o-line , a LB that can actually play LB, and a DB/SS that will hit people and make the opposing O afraid. I want this generations version of David Fulcher.
January 28, 20205 yr comment_1608801 Hard hitting safeties aren't hard to find. Raiders are shopping Karl Joseph for instance. It's finding guys who hit hard without drawing flags and who can also play good pass defense that's hard.
January 28, 20205 yr comment_1608808 My guess on the rest of the draft - they will focus early on the OL and at WR; I think they realize the OL is the hardest position right now to fill via FA. It would not surprise me if they went OL in 2 and 3 and if they trade down from the first pick in the 2nd round then they go with a WR and 2 OL. Just thinking they know they can draft d later and next year, focus on getting Burrow more tools and keeping him upright. If we cut Dre and franchise Green and trade/cut AD and trade Glenn we could look at getting a LB or two plus a DB in FA - I know, I know, this is already a tall order for the inbreds.
January 28, 20205 yr comment_1608812 Tags haven't been announced but this should be a decent year for O-linemen in free agency. At least for players who are better than the Bengals current starters. It's a good tackle class in the draft too. The draft is thin at LB but free agency is also deep. Assuming they tag Green, they can negotiate an extension with lower cap number than the tag amount. An extension for WJ3 is also in order and should have a lower number than his 5th year tender. Mixon deserves an extension and might get 8-9 mil per year. The team starts about 50 mil under the cap and the draft class will cost about 12 mil. They can easily clear another 40 mil by trading or cutting some guys like Dalton, Glenn, Hart, Kirkpatrick, etc. The team doesn't have any must-sign free agents. We're likely to re-sign Dennard and Billings, maybe Eifert. Beyond that we should hope for 2 free agent LBs and 1 O-lineman. Maybe a CB too. Bengals have plenty of cap space to accomplish this but I have considerable doubts they will manage to get it done. At a minimum, they need to upgrade the O-line before the draft and that might be within their competence. But these are the people who watched Bobby Hart try to play in 2018 and decided he needed a large raise.
January 28, 20205 yr comment_1608820 Lets wait until FA to see if there are any decent linebackers not named Preston Brown available.
January 28, 20205 yr comment_1608823 There will be. The LB tag numbers are getting ridiculous as they are set by 3-4 edge rushers. Bears have 3 LBs heading to free agency who are better than anyone we have. Danny Trevathan is getting older but Kevin Pierre-Louis or Nick Kwiatkowski aren't. Browns don't seem to want Joe Schobert back. Rams want Corey Littleton back but are cap strapped. Etc.
