Good to know a real organization knew that (2) first was too high AHEAD of time & not have to back out of a dumb ass trade and waste tax payers time & money.

The #Bengals were interested in sending the 10th pick to the Raiders in exchange for Maxx Crosby, according to @TonyPauline “But the Bengals were unwilling to match the pair of first-round picks the Baltimore Ravens initially sent to Vegas for Crosby before a failed physical nixed the deal.”
English
My conspiracy theory is the Ravens sabotaged the Bengals deal knowing full well they were going to fail Maxx on his physical.

@markschlereth OL was vastly improved last year, being back every single one of the starters from that unit. Why didnt 40 year old Flacco get creamed behind that line? They really geled last year after the 1st few games. Give Scott Peters his flowers. Proof will be in the pudding this year

RT and ❤️ for a chance to win a signed Dexter Lawrence II Bengals helmet!

@danorlovsky7 @PaulHembo Were the Bengals looking to take a tackle at 10? No. Why is that exactly? Do better Dan.

Most sacks since 2020:
Myles Garrett (95.0)
T.J. Watt (80.5)
Trey Hendrickson (74.5)
The Cincy defensive improvements will be lipstick on a pig if they can’t block those guys.

Caleb Downs is the most overrated player in recent draft history.
Non Premium Position
Marginal to Average Athlete for NFL
Undersized
Plays least important role at Safety
Undersized “Big Nickel”

@Remark_KY @JamesRapien The primes for QB is age 28-31. Stafford won a SB at 35.
English
@JamesRapien Sorry you dislike actual facts. Its okay you still have time to delete your idiocy before others come in.
English
@Remark_KY @tHeWhOdEyKiD58 @JamesRapien @MikeySaabHere @grok at what age are NFL QB's in their primes?
English
I think Joe Burrow’s 30th birthday has a bigger impact on urgency than Mike Brown’s age…🤷♂️🤷♂️🤷♂️
WhoDey812@WhoDey8282
@JamesRapien Do you think Mike Brown being 90 yrs old and running out of time to see a SB in his lifetime is adding to the sense of urgency?
English
@Peter_Bukowski Maybe because the Giants didnt have Burrow and Chase on offense, what are we doing here? This is supposed to be sports commentating?
English
If this were true, why did the Giants not **checks notes** win games??
If he’s such a force multiplier why did the defense stink even when he was amazing? (And he was amazing!)
Pete Smith@_PeteSmith_
Dexter Lawrence, so long as he's healthy, is so far above his contemporaries, it's ridiculous. He's an absolute menace in the middle and can win a game almost by himself. It's divison-altering For 10th pick.
English
Looks like another 9-8 team for the Bengals
Only time they were good was when Joe Burrow & Ja’Marr Chase were playing on their rookie deals.
DraftKings@DraftKings
The Bengals are paying their stars a combined $143.5M in the 2026 season 🤯 Dexter Lawrence II — $19.5M Tee Higgins — $28.75M Ja’Marr Chase — $40.25M Joe Burrow — $55M
English
@GarrettLink8 @EPK2022 @Espngreeny I am embarrassed for you that you dont know ball. 10 wins won the division last year. 10 wins isnt the goal obviously but the way you talk even 10 wins is the floor, as even you know 8 or 9 wins is too dumb to say.
English
@alwunder @EPK2022 @Espngreeny Bengals 10 win season is loading quick. Draft night is approaching fast yall can skip it or watch and see future stars of the league being drafted. Your entire team is built around now a QB with 2 WRs and now a DT.
English
Seems to me the most obvious reason #Bengals make this deal is they need Joe Burrow to feel excited about being there, and Dexter Lawrence has a much better chance of doing that this year than anyone they might take at ten.
English
@GarrettLink8 @EPK2022 @Espngreeny This is like saying Sauce Gardner had more INTs last year than Dex so Sauce is better value. Dex now has a 3 year contract with Bengals and no longer than that so yeah great Bengals get 2-3 good years out of him since that is what his contract is lmao
English
@EPK2022 @Espngreeny Trey had 17.5 sacks in a season Dex has 30.5 in his career… Giants d line was awful even with Dex demanding double teams. The move was awful you’ll have 2-3 good years with Dex watch. Paying him 28 million to demand double teams with no edge threat sounds great for a 10 W team

You wanted a leader ✅
You wanted a game wrecker ✅
Dexter Lawrence changes the game every time he’s on the field. And the moment he’s off for even a snap, you feel the difference.
The way players around the league talk about him should tell everyone in Cincinnati exactly what they have — a true game changer.
Not just a stat-sheet stuffer… a game changer.
English
@tony_pike15 For me just the fact that they made this kind of move says something. Great year to trade the 10 pick. If if you disagree with the mechanics of the trade its hard to fault them for trying to win now.
English
Incredible! Immediate reaction… worth the #10 pick for you?
Adam Schefter@AdamSchefter
Draft week blockbuster: The Giants are trading three-time Pro Bowl defensive tackle Dexter Lawrence to the Bengals in a deal that will include the 10th overall pick going to New York, per ESPN sources. The Giants now head into Thursday night with the 5th and 10th overall picks.

@sacyhac @dhayes818 @CharlieG__ Sorry not going to be able to convince me that taking a-holes who cause problems is a better long term strategy than taking team captains lol
English
@alwunder @dhayes818 @CharlieG__ And the team captains have put up historically bad defensive numbers
English
The Bengals love drafting captains in the middle rounds of the draft. They took five in 2024 and three in 2025, and Jordan Battle, CTB, Tycen Anderson and the 2020 linebacker class are other notable “captain” picks from recent seasons.
Using Dane Brugler’s The Beast as a resource, here are his rankings, but then all of the players who were college captains are highlighted.
Because of the Bengals' trend, I always have captains underlined on my final big board.

@dhayes818 @CharlieG__ We had the a-hole team, melted down in the playoffs vs Steelers
