Draft Countdown

● By Brian Bosarge
The Cincinnati Bengals have gone hard in free agency again. They signed Orlando Brown Jr to be the new left tackle. Nick Scott was brought in from the Rams to replace Vonn Bell. And Irv Smith Jr signed a 1-year deal to be one of the tight ends. They now enter the draft with no clear holes on the roster that require immediate attention. So, now the Cincinnati Bengals can look to filling spots that will be needed in 2024 and beyond. There is also the specter of what to do with Jonah Williams. After the signing of Brown, Williams requested a trade. I believe he will remain on the roster until training camp. They should have an idea by then of where La’el Collins is in his rehab or the progression of any possible draft picks. This could also maximize the potential value of 2024 draft compensation in a return for Jonah Williams.
