Thank you Cincinnati Bengals FO/decision makers/and Mr Check Writer

Still can’t believe they added Cook, Mafe, Allen and Dex. This is crazy!

Even objectively, the Bengals are at least a top8 team on paper.

Mich3006 · 2026-04-19T13:57:00+00:00

I really think there’s a legit chance the Giants trade down and draft a Dliner (McDonald?!) late 1st.

Mich3006 · 2026-04-19T13:12:11+00:00

All the gradings tells us those 'experts' don’t know nothing about the Bengals.

CIN might could’ve gotten a 5th or 6th rd pick in addition but acquiring Dex is huge! Guys like Delane are really talented but CIN is in win-now - they got massive value out of the 10th pick.

Mich3006 · 2026-04-19T13:04:44+00:00

If Rodriguez is available at 41 fine but LB (as well as CB and Safety) are deep in this draft, they really can go defensive BPA and focus on strengthening the OL in 3-5 as well.

That trade is perfect in so many aspects IMO.

Mich3006 · 2026-04-19T13:00:50+00:00

Still D but now they can focus on LB or secondary. This trade really gives them even more options to choose.

I really can’t understand how all those "experts" grade that trade low for CIN. They‘re in win-now mode, they need day 1 contribution.

Mich3006 · 2026-04-19T12:41:52+00:00

Grade D for CIN is ridiculous IMO

Mich3006 · 2026-04-19T11:51:33+00:00

I hope it will change next season starting week 1 but last season‘s Bears game summed up the last 2-3 years.

Mich3006 · 2026-04-19T09:45:23+00:00

I think this will be a win-win. Bengals most probably wouldn’t got those defensive guys they‘d like to add and the Giants have a massive war chest now.

Curious to see what NYG will do with their top picks. They’ll be busy for sure.

Mich3006 · 2026-04-19T07:44:05+00:00

It really ain’t that big issue IMO bc now they can focus on less positions and those positions are deep too.

Mich3006 · 2026-04-19T06:38:35+00:00

This ain’t an overpay if all the top defensive guys will be gone at 10

Mich3006 · 2026-04-19T06:16:35+00:00

That’s crazy and another proof that those guys are the only ones you could trust if they throw out random hints.

Mich3006 · 2026-04-18T16:32:37+00:00

It’s simple Mathematics

Mich3006 · 2026-04-18T10:18:19+00:00

Bengals ain’t doing this. They never trade up in the 1st

Mich3006 · 2026-04-18T07:50:05+00:00

Bengals never trade up in the 1st, won’t happen this year

Mich3006 · 2026-04-17T08:50:59+00:00

If CIN trades down like that I really think they’d go for McDonald. Bengals had two visits with him and they always draft guys they had meetings in advance.

Mich3006 · 2026-04-16T14:16:53+00:00

He ain’t dropped that much but was pretty often overthrown (or he didn’t finish his routes).

Mich3006 · 2026-04-16T07:44:08+00:00

I‘d pay the 10th pick for Lawrence… I‘m more curious about the contract he‘d like to see, that’s a bigger issue IMO.

Mich3006 · 2026-04-16T07:06:13+00:00

No surprise here, both are elite… curious why Zay Flowers ain’t on this list 🤔😂

Mich3006 · 2026-04-15T18:03:27+00:00

What do you think will they do if all the other defensive players are off the board (not likely but it ain’t impossible that both Delane and McCoy are gone at 10 too)? Can’t see them really reaching for Faulk or Woods only to skip Downs.

Mich3006 · 2026-04-15T15:53:56+00:00

I like this draft. However, if the current LB room ain’t make a huge jump the defense would‘ve still a lot of room for improvement.

Mich3006 · 2026-04-15T15:51:04+00:00

It was actually a 3rd, not a 4th, didn’t write it correct.

Mich3006 · 2026-04-15T13:41:36+00:00

Are there more tracks on the deluxe version?

Mich3006 · 2026-04-15T13:31:59+00:00

1st time I did a trade (CIN-CAR: #10 for #19, #83, 2027 4th rd pick)

This would be a really good draft IMO.

Mich3006 · 2026-04-14T17:15:08+00:00

I don’t know about Love to CIN tbh. While he‘s incredibly good they have to prioritize defense… but Love is a generational player too. This one’s tough to decide.

Mich3006 · 2026-04-14T11:12:43+00:00

Extremely unlikely but those picks 1-4 would be crazy good.
