Loved this draft by the Bengals. Had a few picks I would have gone a different direction but I see the vision with their picks.
They got much better this weekend.
Very excited for this season. Expectations are HIGH
I asked new Bengals tight end Jack Endries what the wait was like today. He was projected to go in the fourth or fifth round.
The Bengals selected him in the seventh round.
He shared the quote of the draft:
"I'm going to make every team that didn't fucking draft me pay."

"Anybody with eyes will be able to see, I'm a great player that can add a lot of value to this defense."
Cashius Howell says he's got aggression like Aaron Donald.

You’re going to like this pick a lot #Bengals’ fans. Connor Lew is only 20 years old — and started 25 games plus was a team captain.
He will be key for Joe Burrow in future years.

+ Adjusts to the ball well mid-air
+ Good underneath instincts
