I thought Matt Lee was the next in line for Center. Burton will get more snaps when someone inevitably is dinged up. I have hopes for Lee but we certainly can't hand him the job when he hasn't played in games that count. He had a good preseason but that doesn't mean very much.

We should get a look at Lee at some point to see if he's a worthy replacement for Mayor Ted. We can find good interior O-linemen in rounds 3-5, especially if we're drafting early in the round. Whether Pollack can get the maximum from them is another story. At the moment, we would have the 2nd overall draft pick. I don't think we'll draft that high, either because the team won more games over the remainder of the season than our fellow dregs or because if we did finish there, we'd probably trade down with a team looking for a QB. If we do stay in the top 5, Mason Graham might be the best fit for us. He's an active guy, basically a 3T at 310 lbs. He'd be an upgrade from Hill or Rankins. But we probably expect Jenkins to play there. If we move on from Hubbard, Murphy would be the obvious replacement with Hendrickson also going into his final season in 2025. So DE, maybe James Pearce would be an option. Or CB. Big fan of Mason Graham. I don't think he's the athlete that his DT partner Grant is, but Mason is the better player - at least now. He'd be a great get and if the season continues to go sideways, he'd definitely be on my list. Another really good player is Nic Scourton of Texas A&M... he's jumbo-sized, relative to other Bengal DEs that are in the 270 range... he's more like 285/290, kinda DeMarcus Lawrence-esque. Really flashes... had 9 or 10 sacks last year and is off to a good start this year. Played his freshman year at Purdue and transferred.
October 11, 2024Oct 11 Author comment_1768045 Just an FYI if we cut Stone after this year we save 6.75 and eat 1.5 Current available safeties (I know nothing about health or desire to play in NFL any more, most are probably not good anymore but then again Stone is bad).... -Micah Hyde -Jayron Kearse -Adrian Phillips -Keanu Neal -Duron Harman I'd advocate for grabbing one and putting on practice squad. Worth kicking the tires.
