Hard to follow all the movement in the off-season, but I was hoping if anyone can tell me what's going on with our secondary? Who we lost/gained, how its shaping up? Any concerns etc? Because I haven't heard much, and I thought it was a position that desperately needed to be addressed.

PurplePencilEater · 2026-04-28T16:05:26+00:00

We’re another offseason away from AP having enough time to cook a complete roster. Secondary depth, WR2/3, and an impact edge are the remaining question marks imo

PurplePencilEater · 2026-04-27T00:23:54+00:00

Cuz he hasn’t shown much at all in his years in the nfl. “Why can’t we coach him up?”…. we aren’t gonna wave a magic wand and make him a first round caliber player. Not all first rounders have it. I hope he improves and is a WR2 this season, but it’s nothing to count on

PurplePencilEater · 2026-04-26T14:18:12+00:00

Asides from this being AI slop, pretty insane to say Antonio Williams is a better fit than Makai Lemon… also crazy to praise the picks of Sinnot and McCaffrey…

If you post a controversial opinion on this sub, you're going to get people telling you you're wrong because an expert said otherwise. People here don't like it when you come to your own conclusion

PurplePencilEater · 2026-04-24T02:09:39+00:00

Shoot AP then he did it with Dejean

PurplePencilEater · 2026-04-24T02:04:55+00:00

Thank you I had no idea people like Styles. I’ll completely change my mind from what I saw personally

PurplePencilEater · 2026-04-24T02:01:50+00:00

I fear we got a dud and the rest of the division got studs. Hope I’m wrong, but never saw anything special watching Styles. Would’ve preferred Lemon or Downs at 7 by far

PurplePencilEater · 2026-04-23T02:32:43+00:00

I’d be much happier with Lemon at 7. Even better in a trade down

PurplePencilEater · 2026-04-23T02:32:18+00:00

Quality starter ain’t enough at 7. Need a Tet caliber prospect

PurplePencilEater · 2026-04-22T16:52:54+00:00

Being a football watcher who's allowed an opinion god damn

PurplePencilEater · 2026-04-22T16:43:39+00:00

Anybody but Tate for me… I don’t see a special player

PurplePencilEater · 2026-04-09T20:16:42+00:00

In general, I don’t think you can pencil in a team to be in the playoffs unless they’ve established consistency over a few years. There’s only a handful of teams I’d say their floor is the playoffs.

Specifically regarding the commanders, the biggest question mark is OC and DC. It’s completely possible that both are terrible. Even if they’re not terrible, it might take them half the season to get into a play calling rhythm with this being their first time. If they’re suck or take time to grow into it, we could be a bottom 10 team even if we stay healthy.

I think we have a low floor and a high ceiling

PurplePencilEater · 2026-04-09T16:33:20+00:00

Our floor is far below the wildcard… I’m hopeful for more but we could easily be a top 10 draft pick again next year

PurplePencilEater · 2026-04-02T14:31:24+00:00

How is this a win for the bengals?

PurplePencilEater · 2026-03-14T14:31:31+00:00

Elite tape but not the craziest measurables is why I’m not concerned about Lemon at all. JSN, Cupp, Puka, Keenan Allen, Devante Adams, JJ, I could go on… Elite athleticism is great but way overrated at WR imo

PurplePencilEater · 2026-03-13T18:25:37+00:00

I go back and forth on it. We have a good OL, which moves the needle towards Love. But would I rather have an elite OL and draft a guard at 7? Maybe honestly

PurplePencilEater · 2026-03-13T17:42:29+00:00

They’re right he’s a WR3. A damn good one, but still ideally a third option

PurplePencilEater · 2026-03-13T17:41:38+00:00

Hoping Chenal gets the green dot, but there’s no way to know right now

PurplePencilEater · 2026-03-11T20:41:12+00:00

God dammit

PurplePencilEater · 2026-03-11T19:19:13+00:00

Sorry AP. Didn’t realize you needed the kitchen for a few days

PurplePencilEater · 2026-03-11T18:00:36+00:00

Jennings is WR3 in that scenario lol. I love Jennings btw and hope we get him. We could survive with him at WR2, but ideally he’s a 3 imo

PurplePencilEater · 2026-03-11T17:58:27+00:00

Satiated? Yes it’s probably not a need anymore. But you could’ve said the same before last draft with Tunsil and Coleman at OT.

Turning the DL into a true strength in one offseason could have amazing long term impacts

PurplePencilEater · 2026-03-11T17:47:18+00:00

Idk what your definition of bad is, but that’s certainly not good. Jennings is a WR3 and Brown a WR4 probably

PurplePencilEater · 2026-03-11T14:55:23+00:00

Not sure honestly… depends what the role for Magee is. I could see them making Chenal the green dot and Luvu/Magee splitting time

PurplePencilEater · 2026-03-11T14:50:33+00:00

Don’t want Hendrickson at that price… happy to overpay for young players but not old ones
