He graded considerably higher than all of our other OL guys last year - definitely wasn't useless. The problem is the internal stuff between him and the staff/front office. I'd prefer to keep him, if possible, but he's probably on his way out.

Yeah most of the beat writers have said Glenn is as good as gone...too many bridges were burned this season.
Draft is deep with OL if someone like Austin Jackson is sitting there at 33 you have to consider pouncing...bookends for Burrow for 10 yrs in Williams and Jackson. The combine will obviously reveal more in the coming weeks.

Joe Mixon was arguably the best RB in football over the second half of the season and the Bengals still struggled to score 20 points per game.
They need to build the team for Burrow.
You wanna know how you bake in a 2-14 campaign last year? You have a draft class in 2015 that looks like this:
They absolutely need to do the OPPOSITE of that in terms of success from this draft after Burrow.Quote:

Bengals 2015 draft class
Rd1: Cedric Ogbuehi❌
Rd2: Jake Fisher❌
Rd3: Tyler Kroft❌
Rd3: Paul Dawson❌
Rd4: Josh Shaw❌
Rd4: Marcus Hardison❌
Rd5: CJ Uzomah
Rd6: Derron Smith❌
Rd7: Mario Alford❌
That's a good example of where emphasizing drafting for need and not BPA can land you.
Lol. I totally forgot about Paul Dawson. Guenther compared him to Burfict.
And how.
Here was my latest mock this AM on fanspeak - I traded back twice in the 2nd to pick up an extra 4th and 5th. I really like this one. Used Matt Miller's updated Big Board - computer making selections for all but the Bengals:
1: R1P1
QB JOE BURROW
LSU
55: R2P23
CB NOAH IGBINOGHENE
AUBURN
65: R3P1
LB MALIK HARRISON
OHIO STATE
104: R4P1
WR DENZEL MIMS
BAYLOR
115: R4P12
G DAMIEN LEWIS
LSU
147: R5P1
OT TREY ADAMS
WASHINGTON
157: R5P11
G JONAH JACKSON
OHIO STATE
180: R6P1
S JEREMY CHINN
SOUTHERN ILLINOIS
215: R7P1
EDGE TREVIS GIPSON

Morrison has a nice article up in the Athletic in regards to fixing the Defense through FA...he doesn't think Tobin will make a splash but lists a few names that graded out well in PFF that would pair well with Pratt.
I could also see them drafting a guy they like in the early rounds of the draft.
Nick Kwiatkoski Bears rep is John Thorton
Josh Bynes Ravens
if you don't have a subscription to the Athletic go out and get one it is worth it

I understand it's just for fun, but seriously, you got ripped off on your trade. You moved down from the #1 pick in the second rd to the 23rd. That equates to a loss of 230 pts according to this value chart:
https://www.drafttek.com/NFL-Trade-Value-Chart.asp
The 4th rd pick you got was worth 64 pts and the 5th rd pick was worth 28. That leaves 138 points that you left on the table or the equivalent of a late 3rd rd pick.
Point here is this: If our Bengals made a trade like that on draft day, us fans would be mighty ticked that we got ripped off. It'd be worth the deal if you also got Cleveland's late 3rd rd pick
