But really this is the cards every year. So what the "board" says really is a big nothing burger. Just wishful thinking. So I won't let that rule my emotions. You’re just setting yourself up for more frustration. There was improvement last season so I hold out hope we continue to improve. Cuz hope is all we got.
Apathy setting in.

The problem I have with this is that it really felt we got the most out of our rosters talent level last year. A- I expect regression in some areas B- it’s not as if we’re expecting a major boost from returning injured players

We should double up on the edge with Pearce and go DT at #47. Grant is a tank but not explosive and Nolen might not be a Monty guy.
Disagree on Grant. He’s not Aaron Donald, but he is very explosive especially for his size. I kind of doubt Pearce is on Monti’s board.

Tbh I actually wouldn’t mind Grant at 16 & Omar-Lott/TJ Sanders at 47.

There’s a lot of meh tape on Grant and he played alongside a better DT (benefitting each other). Pretty risky drafting someone that big early IMO. Maybe he pops.

I’d favor Pearce or Stewart there.

I think Grant is closer to Vita Vea and Dexter Lawrence player personally. I would take him at 16.
Rare athlete.

Sources: Cincinnati is working to retain Trey Hendrickson and discussions are ongoing between the two sides.The Bengals are attempting to do what many in the league thought difficult and keep — and pay — all three of their stars.

If they want our 3rd round this year and 2nd next year, sure go for it. I can't see Monti giving up huge draft capital for someone turning 31 during next years season.

Besides, just a couple of weeks ago, he said - "I'm just tremendously blessed, the relationships I've made. However it shakes out, there's nowhere I'd rather be."

Doesn't sound like a person that wants to leave Cincinnati. He wants a big contract to justify his past playing grades, pro bowls, etc... He deserves more that he is making but we aren't giving up draft capital to get him then have to renegotiate his contract to justify his level of play. I don't see it.
