BENGALS SQUAD SHOW: Bengals DRAFT for both the PRESENT and the FUTURE in a SUCCESSFUL weekend

About this episode

The episode discusses the Cincinnati Bengals' draft picks and their potential impact on the team.

The Cincinnati Bengals made seven draft picks over the weekend, including their first pick in the second round with edge rusher Cashius Howell. Did the Bengals have a good draft? Alex Frank, Jake Liscow, and Coach Art Valero discuss that, with Alex explaining why he believes the Bengals did. Speaking of Howell, he could make an immediate impact. But did the Bengals draft an edge rusher too early, especially with all of their other needs? One position that wasn't addressed in the Draft: linebacker. Clearly, the Bengals believe in Barrett Carter and Demetrius Knight Jr. Is this the right move? The guys discuss the state of the Bengals' linebacker room after the Draft. There were six other picks the Bengals made in the NFL Draft. Alex, Jake and Coach reveal their favorite picks from the Draft and what they could bring to the team.
