The Bengals 0-2-1 against the NFC East with DAL to go. This will be forgotten in a season where the JETS and the NFC East are the only ones talked about regarding poor play. The Bengals were in most of their games and the future looked very bright with Burrow is why they weren't in that discussion. But, now? They got really ugly really fast.

Talent will be poorly judged by all for the next draft, NFL scouts and teams, too. It's a great year to have a ton of 4th, 5th and 6th Round picks.Originally Posted by WVRed

Not such a great year to have a 3 person scouting department.

Think so? I thought the Bengals did relatively well in the draft last year because all of the pro days and individual workouts were cancelled and you had to go by what was on tape.
I would be happy with Olave or Toney - not sure who Kylin Wallace is. In deep classes, there are stars to be found later, as 2020 showed with Higgins and Claypool. I wouldn't be surprised if at least one of those guys you listed as 1st rounders also drops to round 2. It would be great to get an elite WR, but I don't think we need that. Higgins looks like a #1, and Boyd is one of the top slot guys in the league. The Bengals need a very strong #2, and I think they can get that at pick 35.
It seems clear that the first pick will be OL, and likely Sewell as long as they don't win any games the rest of the way. Between free agency and the 2nd round pick, they need to get both a guard and a WR. There will be strong options for both positions in free agency and the draft, so hopefully Tobin gets it done.
Wallace is at Oklahoma State.

Toney would be a solid kick returner as well. Not sure if that’s a necessity with Wilson.
I think what gets lost is last years WR class was the deepest in the last 20 years. This years has some depth but it’s not to the level of last years.
Maybe it's not as deep, but it's close. And between free agency and the draft I think there will be more overall WR talent available.
What's the lowest pick the Bengals can have and still feel comfortable getting Sewell? Would the Chargers or Cowboys draft Sewell if he's there? I can see both of them doing that.
I don’t think Olave will go pro this year.
What would you say.....ya do here?
He gone. My biggest question with Olave as a pro is if he is physically big enough to play. Guy is my favorite WR to come through OSU in a long time, and is a great college WR, but the dude is slight.
3, but I won’t be shocked if whoever ends up at #4 trades up to jump Cincy for Sewell while #2 assumes a QB will be there at 4. That’s probably a bit of paranoia talking, but I have considered it

If they do get Sewell, the Bengals coaching job gets a whole lot more exciting. You could have a scenario where you have your bookend T's and a franchise QB cheep, and the ability to lock them up for a long time.
I can dream, but if you go Sewell and Wyatt Davis in the 2nd, you have 4/5 of the OLine figured out.
Or they trade up for Fields or Lance knowing the Bengals aren’t taking a QB and they get the other.
I’m not convinced there is going to be a run on QBs as is being predicted.
Wyatt Davis isn’t going second round. It’s a nice dream though.
They have a greater chance at being lucky with other teams swinging and missing, too.
