WHO-DEY…Hey Billy!
How's a browns fan doing Bengals breakdown😂. That's something I could never do. I'm not mad atcha😂
I'm not a big fan of the draft,most of these kids don't move the needle…
😮😮😮
Caleb Downs is my pick. Partially because he's good, mostly because I can remember his name
What happened to the other dude
Downs would be my pick he's definitely NFL ready, but like you said its the Bengals and we don't know
If take fano if all the defensive guys are gone. Can you imagine tho Bengals offense if they got tate or lemon lol they literally could score 50 a game
Bengal need to protect Burrow . Why ? Cause he get hurt … The game is over . That' s the main thing . So far … Offensive line ' s terrible . Burrow is the number 1 QB for … " running for life" & still got Sack the most in NFL
If Downs is gone I like taking an OL
2
Build the defense and o line
Best players so tired grabbing a firt round pick at a certain position doesn't work
Man you really make a lot of uneducated comments. The Bengals offensive line was top five after the their bye.
