Listening to the draft show, my take-away for our second round pick is that he has a great personality.

I think we've had a pretty good first two days. Mims could be a star and has a year before he needs to start (hopefully). Jenkins, as much as us Buckeye fans would hate to say, is an elite run stopper at DT and we really needed that after last season...we have others that can be more pass-rush DTs. Burton at WR is an absolute stud and could fill the Boyd void, zero drops last season and he has real speed to get vertical...Jones is obviously going to fight for that spot though. Jackson at DT is interesting, physical specimen and big dude to try and replace Reader.
Overall, we are picking the right positions of need without reaching. I like it so far. Plus we just picked up Erick All, TE from Iowa who I think can be really good...we needed someone there as well and another position of need pickup.

Take it back on drafting All...Stover was available. Wtf. CJ reunited with Cade. Texans are going to be really tough to beat.

I’d grade the draft in the B-/C range. They redeemed the All pick with the Mclachlan pick. Don’t really think they got any defensive players that will make much of an impact on Day 3. The CB probably has the best potential in that regard. I like the C they took in the 7th round. A little undersized, but a 4 year starter (3 at UCF and 1 at Miami). But I really like what the Bengals did on Day 1 and 2. Think Jenkins and Mims can contribute right away if called upon (Jenkins will almost certainly see the field early), and think Jackson and Burton could also be early contributors as well.

Pretty much agree with all of this, so not much to add. Echo the though that Jenkins is going to need to contribute in a big way early on, and I think he is built for it. Mims we don't need right away, so hopefully we stay healthy so he is not forced into action. Jackson seems like a good pick to load up on the interior DL.
Only part I am not thrilled on is taking 2 TEs. Just draft Stover in the 4th and you don't need to worry about the position, it was a miracle he was available there and we passed. Really like All's upside and it isn't a bad pick if Stover wasn't there...but he was, and ergo not a great pick. The rest of the picks I cannot make an intelligent remark on, so we will see how those work out.

Burrow back to throwing at Bengals workouts
As the Bengals started the second phase of voluntary workouts, Joe Burrow was in uniform and throwing a pass in a video shared by the team.
Joe Burrow back to throwing at Bengals workouts
"He looked like the Joe Burrow we're used to seeing," Kragthorpe said. "I didn't see any difference. I thought the ball came out of his hand well. Confidently. I'm happy where he's at."On Nov. 27, Dr. Thomas Graham repaired the scapholunate ligament in Burrow's right wrist, a source confirmed to ESPN following an initial report by the Cincinnati Enquirer. In March, Burrow told ESPN that he expected to be fully cleared following his surgery. He noted that the timetable for his return, if he remained on track, was no different than other offseasons.
"In a normal offseason, I wouldn't be throwing until OTAs really anyway," Burrow said. "I can lift basically normal now, which I'm excited about."

Joe Burrow sends message ahead of Cincinnati Bengals 2024 season: 'I'm really strong, bigger than I was'
The former Heisman Trophy has a new primary focus.
Back on the practice field for the first time following a season-ending wrist injury, former LSU standout and Cincinnati Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow is anxious to get going. He worked on his body throughout the offseason and is sending a message to the rest of the NFL in anticipation of a bigger, stronger version of himself."I'm eating more, I'm more dialed as far as nutrition and food schedule and eating when I need to so that's been a big area of emphasis for me and I've seen the results," Burrow said, via Bengals.com. "I'm bigger. Definitely bigger. ... I'm really strong, bigger than I was. We're going to continue to eat right, lift and go through my routine and see where I'm at."

Really glad to see that matchup early on honestly. Enough of us playing in Week 16 or 17, then a quick rematch in the playoffs. Not applicable last year, but the 3 years before it seemed that way.

I fully expected this to happen, but glad it did so long as Tee actually puts the effort in. Last year it got pretty dismal when he was trying to earn a new contract...best way to do that bud is play lights and give a crap. But if he comes back to form, going to be deadly with Chase and the crew, Burrow is looking really good throwing the ball and moving around...he will be 100% to start the year.

He adds so much to the offense. Especially with Burton being more of a deep threat, it allows Higgins to get back to what he was doing best. Making big catch after big catch to keep the chains moving. He has some of the best footwork on sideline catches in the entire league.
