@BJHill5 Don’t play!

🤫

@andreperrotta13 Basically you’re saying there’s no way!

Dexter Lawrence has two years and $39.5M remaining on his current contract which runs through the 2027 season. Any Club that trades for Lawrence would be on the hook for $20M in 2026 & $19.5M in 2027. Would image any trade would be followed by a massive extension with the acquiring Club.

@JonnyBengal I had to change the light theme, my bad. Excited to go through it.

@DavidWoodlander I’m not sure what your referring to. All the text color is black for me.

My 2026 #NFLDraft Rankings are now live! Feel free to check it out! This is my 2nd year incorporating analytics into my draft data. This has been a long process but now I am excited to share! Please share with your friends, and this will be updated live on draft weekend on the Big Board. docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d… Over 450 players graded and separated into my projected positions in the NFL. The Big Board is prefiltered based on Total Grade. Some players ended up much higher/lower than my tape grade when production and RAS were combined. My grades are based on Tape, RAS, and Production which are all averaged using a weight scale to give a final prospect grade. Tape: Rated a score 60-100 (If I was unable to watch a small school prospect or could not find film I defaulted to a round grade based on consensus). This carried the highest weight. If you see a highly rated player here with a low ranking, that means I’m much higher on him/or consensus was much higher on them. RAS: Relative athletic scores. Each position group is weighted differently based on historical RAS trends per position. This grade was multiplied by 10. This carries the lowest weight of the grade. Production: Utilizing PFF Premium Stats, I combined PFF grades and my own custom formula grade for “Production Per Snap” which shows how impactful a prospect is every time he touches the field. I tried to highlight as many of the draftable prospects that I could find. Please enjoy! As other prospects continue to rise I will try to get them added to the board prior to the draft. I will also update player the Bengals met with, reported medical flags, and character flags.

@TheFireMaan Agree 100%. I want McDonald and I don’t care if it’s at 10.

Really harping on the Bengals rush defense Over the past two season the bengals have given up 4622 yd on the ground. The rush defense was actually worse in 2025 (2024) 479 att 2122 yards (2025) 479 att 2500 yards I’m not giving the LB and safety’s free passes. They need to be better, but they are not being set up to succeed. We’re not going to get where we need to be until we really fix the play of this defensive line. Not being able to control that line of scrimmage puts too much stress on the LB and DB.

@zimwhodey Don’t make me start believing again!

Bengals last 7 Games on Defense.

@benga1scentre I’m taking McDonald. Don’t care about the pass rush. Elite run D, sucks up double teams, does the dirty work and is barely 21. Golden knows what Reader provided in the SB run.

What do the Bengals do in this doomsday scenario? Trade back is NOT an option. Jermod McCoy? Peter Woods? Dillon Thieneman?

@ASwaim3 No shit! My 5 year old was so happy he won and then he said that and kinda messed him up.

Hey, so Pyfer admitting that about a couple weeks ago isn’t normal and doesn’t go away with a win. Let’s not gloss over that gigantic red flag, please. Especially his team and friends. #UFCSeattle

@Turbo_Durbo1 Athletic freakism is stronger in football for the obvious incentive, but mental freakism- is a non-negotiable in wrestling and these qualities are not mutually exclusive. When it comes to the elite of either sport, there is just no comp when one enters the arena of the other.

This is going to be hard for the wrestling community to stomach… Wrestling heavyweight is not selecting from the same talent pool that football is. If every D1 & NFL‑caliber OL/DL/LB were funneled into wrestling instead of football, the heavyweight landscape would look completely different overnight. Wyatt Hendrickson might be an NCAA qualifier at best. While wrestling is the toughest, purest, most merit‑based and easily the most respected sport. It still is only crowning champions from the athletes who actually choose to participate. The biggest, strongest, most explosive 230-330 athletes in the country don’t wrestle. Just a talent distribution reality. Thank you for your attention to this matter.

@GridironGrading So if you guys got him as a mid-late R1 that must mean the Bengals take him at 10, right?

Keldric Faulk is one of the highest-floor, lowest upside prospects in this class. Good: Freakish size, elite run production, high character, one of the youngest guys in the class Bad: Everything about his pass rush profile Still a mid-late Round 1 guy for us.

@JoeGoodberry Sheesh!

Players the Bengals drafted that didn't do enough pre-draft tests to qualify for an RAS since 2000. 2025 - Dylan Fairchild 2024 - Erick All 2021 - Jackson Carman 2020 - Akeem Davis-Gaither, Markus Bailey, Khaled Kareem 2019 - Rodney Anderson 2018 - Billy Price 2017 - JJ Dielman 2015 - Cedric Ogbuehi 2009 - Chase Coffman 2006 - Ethan Kilmer 2005 - Jonathan Fanene 2003 - Kelley Washington, Elton Patterson 2003 - Justin Smith ✅ 2002 - Matt Schobel 2001 - Riall Johnson, TJ Houshmanzadeh ✅ 2000 - Peter Warrick, Mark Roman, Ron Dugans

@JakeLiscow Maybe I’m just traumatized from a handful of picks they’ve made post R1 throughout the draft.

I don't think they've drafted a guy in the 1st round significantly higher than consensus since John Ross and Billy Price Shemar Stewart was 19th by consensus, Amarius Mims was 21st, Myles Murphy was 15th, Dax Hill was 26th

@JakeLiscow I have a suspicion this becomes their guy at 10 bc it would follow their MO of picking higher than consensus. I am intrigued but wish they would entertain trading back if this is the target.

2 meetings between the Bengals and Kayden McDonald noted here

@JoeGoodberry If I’m doing the picking- yeah sure.

The cost to move from pick 10 to pick 7 is about a 3rd Round value. Would you be willing to give up the Bengals 3rd round pick in order to secure a top defensive prospect? (Bain, Styles, Downs)

@DrewGarrison He better be Larry not Sheldon.

Allen about to give us the 3 tech we’ve been missing since Larry Ogunjobi.

@Lukewearechange Probably worse.

Probably 9/11 insider trading

@zimwhodey He’s going to terrorize in Baltimore.

When Trey Hendrickson knows you’re passing he’s impossible to block. Ask all the teams we beat late in games. You’re delusional if you don’t see that. On a team that plays with a lead 95% of the time, if healthy, Trey Hendrickson will have a far bigger impact than Maxx Crosby would’ve had. The reason people are downplaying it is because he had all this success for the Bengals so they haven’t been conditioned to know this by sheep on the app and these casuals on TV. Go look at the data.

@NGWIZZZ How dare you!

I turn on 125 lb wrestling to put my babies to sleep.

@OwenShroyer1776 He has to align with the one that was involved in 9/11 bc if he doesn’t the stock market or somethin.

I feel like Thomas Massie & Howard Lutnick are the ultimate litmus test. One has the highest Freedom Score in Congress & is the most consistent Consertive on policy. One took his kids to Epstein Island after he was convicted & lied about it. Which one does Trump align with?

@JoeGoodberry It would be really nice if they did some special things in FA and we could take Lemon and be at peace with not picking a defensive player out of need.

Where are we going in this scenario? No trade backs.
