The Mistake on the Lake traded already for 4 players, good ones. They got rid of the quarterback, got Landry who is great. They got Tyrod Taylor for QB. I'm worried about my Bengals.

Saquan? lol

I heard they're inviting Manziel to camp, because they want to see if they can get something - anything - for all that money they've paid him.

Just kidding.

So you think the Bengals will dropped to 4th place in the AFC North?

Not yet.

Taylor is clearly their transitional QB. They'll look to draft their QB of the future at 1 or 4. They shipped DeShone Kizer out after one year to sit behind Aaron Rodgers (not a bad situation to be in, and Kizer can be a dynamic player someday).

If they draft Barkley at 1, they've got to hope Darnold falls to them at 4, since he's the best QB on the board. I doubt he will. So they may take Barkley, likely the best player available, at 1, and then take Josh Allen or Josh Rosen at 4. Maybe they trade down mid-round to get Mayfield or Lamar Jackson.

I'd take Darnold at 1 and then hope Barkley is left at 4. They need to get the best QB they can.

That said, I see their ceiling next season as 5 wins. CIN won't be the cellar dweller in 2018.

Browns play the Squeelers too. Bengals will surprise. Or not.

Not afraid of the Browns (or the Bengals). Browns always do good in the draft and pick up players but yet have nothing to show for it. Well they can't do any worse than last season
