membengal Posted March 19 Report Share Posted March 19 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. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We made it to the GD Super Bowl, let's get back there and finish the job. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

|High School Harry| Posted April 5 Report Share Posted April 5 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. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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 Report Share Posted April 5 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 1 Quote 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. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MichaelWeston Posted April 8 Author Report Share Posted April 8 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. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, since we could not cover TE's for decades and then he is able to (at better than the past), I say great re-sign. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
