membengal Posted March 19, 2022 Report Share Posted March 19, 2022 If they come out of FA w/ 3 legit upgrades on the o-line that will have exceeded my expectations (2 was my baseline - my hope was 3 - my dream was 4). Depth on the line would be so much better too as the back-ups all got experience last year and can keep developing. Fingers crossed on Collins today.

We made it to the GD Super Bowl, let's get back there and finish the job. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

|High School Harry| Posted April 5, 2022 Report Share Posted April 5, 2022 1 hour ago, MichaelWeston said: 18. Added TE Nick Eubanks https://thedraftnetwork.com/player/nick-eubanks/iDdVFMl6fT It turns out Hayden Hurst wasn’t the last notable addition to the tight end room for the Cincinnati Bengals before the draft. Tuesday, the team announced the signing of Nick Eubanks, a former undrafted free agent out of Michigan who split time between three teams last season. A 6’4″ target with interesting versatility as a downfield threat, Eubanks was projected as a near-undrafted free agent before his draft due to his need for developmental time. He’ll get that in Cincinnati, where he’ll compete with names like Thaddeus Moss for a roster spot. Notably, someone like Mitchell Wilcox still isn’t back, so there’s a roster spot or two worth battling over. Eubanks’ addition won’t stop the Bengals from drafting a tight end as a long-term option, too, but it’s noteworthy news in the otherwise down period of April.

Clay Johnston and Nick Eubanks could fill the core needs of the unit.. Johnston had a huge tackle in the playoffs saving a potential first and goal if I remember it right..

Jamie_B Posted April 5, 2022 Report Share Posted April 5, 2022 I also like Jelani Woods out of Virginia as a TE you can develop for a year and let him take over into a starting role in '23 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was lowkey hoping he could push for a spot a year ago, I still have some hopes for him. If Ossai can get back and Hubert is a thing, that will help a ton.

Ossai should be fully prepared as a 2nd yr rookie so to speak.. Playbook down.berfing up..knows the speed in the NFL.. This kid may blossom into something special...

MichaelWeston Posted April 8, 2022 Author Report Share Posted April 8, 2022 Flowers played outside corner mostly. I would bet he is the last veteran there. Might be nice to add a guy who can play both slot and outside. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
