2022 Forum Mock: Discussion Thread

Thrilled to get CB Tavierre Thomas for the minimum. Elite slot corner last year with just 171 yards allowed despite playing with the lowly Texans, he and still has upside at 26. S Anthony Harris and S Duron Harmon at the minimum are solid too. Good depth despite recent struggles.
 
Just for the record, I’ve been in discussions with @RavensMania about Kendricks. I chose to cut him from the Vikings to quickly get below cap as I don’t deal with that team on an in depth side. I told him from the start that the bengals would be in play for him. No problems came from any of those discussions. Nor were there ever any talks of trading kendricks because again, I had as little to do with the Vikings as I possibly could.
 
I don’t even know who I won but I said I was out anyways lol. Know I could have cut some guys to make cap room too so count y’all’s blessings I was busy

I gotta say, even though I missed most of it, I still had tons of fun!!

I think I did a fairly good job at getting cheaper players to fill the weak spots in my roster.

The Dl is pretty solid with Barmore beeing the disruptive force that showed a lot of good things in year 1.
My LB Core gained speed and coverage ability with Lloyd and Harris through the draft, I added Okoronkwo to my Edge group, where young guys like Uche and Perkins have some potential.
My CB group is meh, the addition of Rock Ya-Sin surely helps and I think Needham is somewhat overlooked. And one should not forget Jonathan Jones coming back from injury. Kyle Dugger and Phillipüs as my starters with quite some good players backing them up would form a pretty versatile safety group, and we all know the Patriots love them some safeties that can do multiple things. So all in all a solid group I would say.

The Offense has some question marks, mainly at LG and WR, but I added some solid pieces overall. That RB group is looking with James White coming back to take on the pass catching role. WR group won´t blow you away (especially with loosing Meyers...who I like a lot), but the TE group should be good (if Jonnu Smith improves especially). I am high on Kendrick Bourne as my WR1, it will be seen of Agholor or someone else can step up.

So thanks for having me, looking forward for the DaF in a few days!
Cheers!
 
I'm very happy with how the Bengals turned out. Massive upgrades all the way around, largely kept the same players from last season. The front 7 with the additions of Wyatt, Kendricks, and Rodriguez has been improved, the secondary added a couple players, and the OL is massively upgraded. I think Burrow would be happy with the addition of Schultz, keeping Uzomah, adding an underrated guy in Heiligh and keeping the same WRs as last season. Lord knows he'd be happy not being hit so damn much.

First one is based off a favorite song that is in reference to a vampire, so bam. Vampire lady.

Second is a play on the beauty on the outside but you don’t know what people are dealing with internally.

The Vikings were never required to be under the cap. We discussed that months ago whenever I brought up potential moves to bring them under and you mentioned that you were under the impression that you'd only be drafting with them. The caveat of secondary teams that are over the cap was that they can't be active in free agency. Releasing arguably one of Minnesota's best players over the past few seasons and having them be completely inactive in the free-for-all is solely a negative for the Vikings. To be perfectly clear, the rule change that will happen next season will be the direct result of this situation.

Let’s call it the Rule of Sizzle…. Or just The Sizzle

Also to be perfectly clear, literally no one else here had any problem whatsoever of me bidding on him. The problem quickly arose when I outbid you on him

I was the one that commented on it, not Truth and it wasn't due to him outbidding you. Lets be honest. Lets forget about this and try and understand the reasoning.
