Ben Stuart

@ZachDoran4 @Landon_Belote @BengalsTalk McDonald is a fine prospect, but there are multiple players better than him, that will be available at 41. I’m all for BPA, that’s the only way to draft in my opinion, but I just do not believe he’s worth the 41st pick.

@BenStuartVU @Landon_Belote @BengalsTalk You can get rid of slayton for a pick somewhere and open up money for a vet linebacker/edge. Jenkins ain’t it either, I’m not all in on McDonald, but the dude makes the d-line that much better. I’m not huge on drafting needs anymore, they seem to reach a lot when doing so.

If Kayden McDonald is there for the Bengals tonight, are you drafting him even after trading for Dexter Lawrence?

@RealmRavens Yes? This isn’t a secret lol As a Bengals fan, yes we are going to do our best to stop Lamar and Henry. We want to make moves that will help us stop other teams best players….

“The Ravens drafted Vega because they’re scared of Dexter Lawrence.” So the Bengals traded for Dexter Lawrence because they’re scared of Lamar Jackson and Derrick Henry, right?

@ZachDoran4 @Landon_Belote @BengalsTalk Unless you have 8 DT’s on the roster already… I’m all for BPA, my recent tweets are even stating this, but there are plenty of guys who will be available at 41, which should be on the table.

@BenStuartVU @Landon_Belote @BengalsTalk You draft BPA, stop drafting needs. Causes us to reach for guys and take less talented players. Figure it out later.

@Landon_Belote @BengalsTalk That’s debatable, as all you need to do it look at each players surrounding talent. OSU’s defense was/is littered with high draft picks. That being said, I still don’t want DT at 41, due to other positional needs.

@BenStuartVU @BengalsTalk Valid argument, but also McDonald is far above Orange imo and would fall under BPA.

@CBoxSports McCoy is BPA I’m going McCoy everytime

Who should the Bengals take at pick #41? #NFLDraft

Scary: Jeremiyah Love says it would be a blessing if the Commanders drafted him so he can take some of Jayden Daniels' load. "Me and Jayden would be a very good duo. I would help him be a better version of himself, taking some load off of him." 😤😤😤

@YoungHoeNotKoo @NFL_DovKleiman Something’s going to bust, but it won’t be Love.

@NFL_DovKleiman You will be a bust if you go there pal have fun rooting

@RichJohnsonNFL Dianna Russini at 31 is a steal

My final 2026 NFL Mock Draft based on what I’m hearing:

@NFL_Convo Red Murdock is my sleeper. Tone setting LB, who loves to deliver a solid hit. He’s projected to go in the 5th/6th but think he could be a nice pick up late in the 4th.

In 2024 I said Cooper DeJean was slept on as he fell to the 2nd round He is now an All-Pro In 2025 I said Nick Emmanwori was slept on as he fell to the 2nd round He is now a Super Bowl Champ In 2026 I’m saying Cashius Howell is slept on… Don’t let him fall to the 2nd round

@MLFootball @TheRealCruzOx @BarstoolNOLA @EBJunkies @HogsHaven @CommandersRealm @Xommanders @Birm @BarstoolOSU Chase Young = Jadeveon Clowney

@bengaljims_BTR @Bengals @ImNostraThomas Where is 07’s finest, Kenny Irons?

The @Bengals have been one of the more successful teams in the NFL when it comes to second-round picks. Here’s our Top 10… did we get it right? 👀 @ImNostraThomas #CincinnatiFootballHistory

@thebengalorian Dude, Ponds was created to play in our defense, and would fit in the nickel role perfectly. I understand there’s a learning curve, but he seems like he’d be fantastic there

Jog with me on Thursday…

@rodneysachs185 @SleeperBengals Dude…it’s a joke because of his last name.

@BenStuartVU @SleeperBengals In what world would we draft a dt?

“With the 41st pick in the 2026 NFL Draft, the Cincinnati Bengals select….?”

@Carson4343 @SleeperBengals I love Murdock, but I feel he’s going earlier than the 6th. Otherwise, perfect!

@SleeperBengals D’Angelo Ponds. Sign Bobby Wagner in free agency.. Go Dani Dennis-Suton, Derrick Moore, or Romello Height in the 3rd. Maybe even a little Ja’Kobi Lane in the 4th if possible.. Then grab Red Murdock and Pat Coogan or Parker Brailsford in the 6th. Dream draft

@Ryan_D2TF No Woods did very little in terms of development at Clemson. What are the odds that he changes his ways in the pros? Woods = Shemar Stewart of 2026 (different positions but similar concerns) Would much rather have Ponds, Terrell, Rodriguez or best EDGE available

I don't think he will be there, but you still take Peter Woods if he falls.

@Eddielinks_ It’s a bad draft at the top, and all the “blue-chip” prospects have flaws. Cincinnati would be looking at: -Woods- raw and poor work ethic -Delane- undersized -Bain- undersized -Downs- undersized and high risk of injury -McCoy- injured Lawrence was the BEST option at 10

The last thing Cincinnati needed was a 28 yr old Dexter Lawrence

@JayRBP No, that would over-crowd the room. 41 should be best CB/LB/OL available

Peter woods at 41 would be very hard to pass on

@VinnysCorner1 Pokey Reese, the GOAT

Without saying Pete Rose, Barry Larkin, Johnny Bench, Joey Votto, Elly De La Cruz, or Frank Robinson, name a Red….
