@Average_Jonas Oh, so that actually never stops happening? Great =/

You presumably already know this, but you can turn the volume down on pings. I only realised that last week.

[Graeme McIntyre @FodTheWizard]

@JamesRapien Right, I know it's just a term but this all in or not bit is kinda dumb. The Browns went all in with the Watson trade, we didnt go all in last off season. theres a scale, right?
This was a good raise that we should win the hand off... but we're not just wrecked if it goes badly!

[Graeme McIntyre @FodTheWizard]

@thebengalorian Yeah, I was just looking at the Olines in the north, thinking about who is going to block this guy. Ours is best, no?
we should keep drafting them to keep it that way, but no way was it our top need, and one which needed 10th overall to sort out.

[Graeme McIntyre @FodTheWizard]

@JoeGoodberry cant think how to word it but a version of this to frame "player x wont be there at 10" would be cool, as it feels like theres 15 people in that top 9!

[Graeme McIntyre @FodTheWizard]

@JoeGoodberry Bane
Bailey
Downs
Styles
Reese

Woods

McCoy

Mauigoa
Love

Do we have to be happy to draft them? this is tiered, and progressively less happy.

@JoeGoodberry

[Graeme McIntyre @FodTheWizard]

@thebengalorian I'd have liked that for him if nothing else. really didn't like how that went, especially since it's not like we saw some night and day change as a consequence.

[Graeme McIntyre @FodTheWizard]

@ljw21 @crabtree_cody I still wish it played out a little differently for you, even if the result is one you're happy with. e.g I wish it played out that you started last year, it went fine, then if you retired you retired, sort of thing. didnt like seeing it happen like it did for you. better to come

[Graeme McIntyre @FodTheWizard]

@JamesRapien @TripleG943 the problem with this comparison is that it's a false equivalence. it's quite a lot more likely that Al will be healthy than Stewart will be as good as Garrett this year. so its reasonable to bank on the sun rising each day, but not winning the lottery even tho both are "ifs"

[Graeme McIntyre @FodTheWizard]

@BrohioNick given how it went for Rankins the next season I think that one was just crappy luck for all involved

[Graeme McIntyre @FodTheWizard]

@BengalsNation8 pretty cheap to sign a linebacker, so pretty annoying that it's not happened. we saw how it went with two rookies last year, so it's not like we can just draft the solution. those two will likely be better with a years experience but it would be really good to have a vet + cheap

[Graeme McIntyre @FodTheWizard]

@thebengalorian oh no, this has started already. we really need a veteran linebacker - Styles might well be a great player down the line but knight might also be a good one. Knight didnt look like it last year, and neither will Styles. what do we do then? draft a linebacker in the first 2027?

[Graeme McIntyre @FodTheWizard]

@Jennife45487237 @JamesRapien He's good but not the sort of money and years he wants, good. How much was Clowney making the year Burrow's wrist was injured? I wouldn't have paid him 35mil but he was still plenty good enough to be a part of that.

[Graeme McIntyre @FodTheWizard]

@Jennife45487237 @marybingham89 @JamesRapien perfectly fine to want a whole team to suffer, though!

[Graeme McIntyre @FodTheWizard]

@SportsBoyTony Didn't that other orange team already make a big trade for a quarterback pretty recently?

[Graeme McIntyre @FodTheWizard]

@TheBengalsWire the typo in the last paragraph tho...

[Graeme McIntyre @FodTheWizard]

@CBoxSports I see he's done about as well with the Colts and Lou as he did for the Bengals with Lou. Love that for both of them.

[Graeme McIntyre @FodTheWizard]

@JoeGoodberry Yeah, every time he was interviewed I thought "you sound like exactly what we need" but yeah, it's been tough.

[Graeme McIntyre @FodTheWizard]

@LndsPatterson Peter Woods

[Graeme McIntyre @FodTheWizard]

@CoachMinich Rankins got meningitis in his season with us, that could have been a totally different story.
Nick Scott had a really good week 18 game but has been in the 50-60 range on pff (for whatever you think thats worth) for his whole career. fine for 7th round guy.
