Plain and simple. Where did we get better: S, TE, possibly RB

Where are we worse: DT, CB, OT. What positions are more important? Our team will be worse next year, the only thing that will keep us afloat is if JB stays healthy.

If we were that bad then we would still be in the dumpster only winning a couple of games a year. You have to give the front office some credit at putting a solid team together the last few years. There was definitely a drought, but we've always found some stars every year in the draft, or added in FA. FA isn't done yet, and we have yet to draft. There's no reason to panic right now.

Chase, Ossai, Mcpherson (2021) and Hill, CTB, Volson. 6 starters in 2 drafts isn't that bad. Chase, Mcpherson, CTB and kinda Hill are all very good IMO. Saying those two drafts were horrible is kinda BS PFF does.

(03-15-2024, 10:21 PM)Frank Booth Wrote: Lol... alright

think about the 2 worst starters on the o-line last year. Yep, Volson and Jonah. The ones they drafted.

Now let me think about the best players on the defense the least 2 years. Hendrickson, Bates, Hilton, Reader, BJ Hill.... Im sensing a pattern here

our best players not named Burrow Higgins and Chase are the free agents. 

The drafting IS terrible. Dont try to deny the data and facts

(03-15-2024, 10:25 PM)Bengalbug Wrote: The facts are the bengals use the draft to fill for future needs, instead of instant needs.  Case in point, Dax Hill hardly played his rookie year, so he didn’t have any impact in 2022.  That’s going to lead to a low score.  Same for 2023- Murphy, jones, Andre, brown.  If the bengals actually drafted players that they intend to play, this could look different.  It’s hard when a player is going into year 3 and you’re still not sure what you have in him.

Burrow, Chase, Higgens, Boyd, Mixon, Uzomah, Williams, Hopkins, Adeniji, Carman, Hubbard, Wilson, Pratt, Bates, Huber, Mcpherson. That's a decent amount of our roster that was drafted, even though some were not super good.[url=https://www.pro-football-reference.com/players/A/AdenHa00.htm][/url]
