  1. They don’t need 7 more rookies next year. I’m trading all day-3 picks. Get one or more veterans to help stabilize the defense. With that said, I don’t believe they’ll do anything.

  2. RB is number one need. Plenty of serviceable candidates. A no brainer decision to get one but not the Bengals’ history to do so. Skeptical the Bengals do anything. Seems stupid but that’s their history.

  3. Jake Liscow – you’re not very bright.. yes we need a backup for Chase Brown, but he finally gets the chance to show why he should be a feature back – and responds with almost 160 all purpose yards, and you sit there and say how we need to take carries from him and don’t want him on the field all the time. Come on man. Somebody pointed out that 6 times in his senior year at Illinois, he had 27 carries or more. He’s a workhorse and that’s what he does best.

  4. James & Jake. I’m not saying you’re wrong about these other needs we have, because we do need more help on the line getting pressure. Those needs are not our crucial primary needs. No matter what moves we do make, it’s not gonna make a difference if we don’t improve our secondary drastically. Especially at corner. If we continue on this season with our secondary as presently constructed, WE WILL NOT BE A PLAYOFF TEAM. Our pass coverage is embarrassingly terrible. Things are only gonna get worse because now teams have plenty of film on us and the whole league knows we’re embarrassingly terrible. They have to get a corner or kiss the post season goodbye. It’s that simple.

  5. Shocking no trades made. We’ve beat literally 2-win teams and Mike and Duke couldn’t be happier. The Brown family including Duke should be beyond embarrassed but they won’t be.

  6. It isn't so much about ever getting better as much as it is needing, or feeling like, they just need to replace someone. Reader was replaced with Rankin, Stone/Bell replaced a lackluster secondary that is still lackluster. Moss replaced Mixon, they are tickled to death that Mims was drafted and finally healthy to jump the other depth trash to replace Trent "cannot stay healthy" Brown who was, short term replacing Jonah "first round flop" Williams. The point is fanbase you have to take the moves they make. The Carlos Dunlap deal seasons back was to get his big mouth out of town before he disrupted everyone else. He was upset at the defense but yet he was not performing then either anymore. So, biggest most recent surprise? The recent signing of Orlando Brown Jr. was an overstated attempt to fix their OL. Everything else is from the draft and will be for the most part in the future. Delusional fans and podcasters keep referencing this team as "we." We what? Your money, not you. They have to put a team on the field or if it was golf for example they lose their tour card so be thankful they still do that.

  7. The injured prospects got injured (all, mims), the head case got head cased, bengals can’t draft. Should trade all draft picks for new team now. Bengals can’t draft.

  8. From some insider info I heard, Bengals are indeed very active, predominantly for DL help. CB and RB trade help sounds less concrete.
    Having said that, Chase Young keeps getting touted as a favorite to land at the Bengals and I'd be delighted with that outcome!
