Jamie_B Posted February 23 Author Report Share Posted February 23 Just now, Le Tigre said: The Logan's Run Syndrome again. Aaron Donald was 30 when he beat literal hell out of the leagues' offensive lines just one short season ago in 2021. Sure but the fall-off does happen, it may not be exactly at 30 or even 31, but it's pretty rare that guys continue to play at a high level much after that. The statistics bear that out. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sparky151 Posted February 23 Report Share Posted February 23 NTs can play to a ripe old age. Think of Ted Washington or Vince Wilfork. They don't have to run fast, just stay strong. Reader is playing at a very high level and we shouldn't be in a rush to push him out the door. Tupou is a decent backup. I like Ika as a prospect but he'd be a luxury pick. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
membengal Posted February 26 Report Share Posted February 26 I assume anyone into the draft knows the RAS (relative athletic scores) that Kent Lee Platte does for prospects - if so this will be of interest re: the current roster: 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sparky151 Posted February 28 Report Share Posted February 28 Kincaid was never going to be taken in the top 10. Whoever rated him there doesn't know what they are doing. He's a good receiver and not much of a blocker. Think Mike Gesicki as a comp. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spicoli Posted February 28 Report Share Posted February 28 Take care of business in FA and then give me Darnell Washington all day long at 28. After that, give me Zach Charbonnet in R2 and I’ll be a happy camper 🥂 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I get the feeling the Bengals being aggressive in FA this year means retaining our own guys. We will likely still spend money but it will be on Joe and Tee and a few others we want to keep. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joe may take a bit of a home town discount to "keep the band together" but he's not going to work for peanuts. Other FAs the team has may do the same thing just for a legit shot at a ring. If we had beaten the refs Rams a few years back I think everyone would be chasing the dollars and the Bengals get picked apart. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sparky151 Posted February 28 Report Share Posted February 28 The Bengals should know at least the general parameters of a Burrow extension before free agency starts. It's entirely possible to do a long term deal with lots of guaranteed money that doesn't change his 2023 cap number very much. Depends on how the team wants to structure it. If the team wants to move on from Collins, there are veteran options available. Maybe the team wants to upgrade from Apple. That can be done too. It seems obvious that Bates won't be back and probably not Pratt either. The rest of the team's free agents don't seem especially eager to leave and should be re-signable. So the draft should be for finding young talent at any number of positions more than looking for a 2023 starter. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His injury. ( torn pec) should slide him down a rd . He's allmost a carbon copy his favorite player George Iloka.... Both Boise St products.. If he's still there in rd 4 might they draft him to eventually replace Bell? Hill and Skinner seem to be a nice tandem for the future.. Thoughts? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
