Quote:Thing is I can't see why Cincy would do this deal.

Yes, they could use a Solomon Thomas, but I don't necessarily see why they would have to deal up to get him.

Tacks arguably don't need a DL. Jets are loaded at DL.

Thomas plays the same position as Bosa.

Maybe Carolina could use Thomas, but:

1. Arguably they could use Fournette more; and

2. If Cincy needs to get ahead of Carolina, they don't have to trade up to 4 to achieve that.

I'm trying to think who they might target in a move to 4. The only top prospect they've brought in for a private interview is Jamal Adams, but again that may not mean anything if they feel they already know enough about other players they might draft. Considering the players they've met with so far, I sense they're looking to draft a DE, RB and CB, so with that in mind they could be targeting Solomon Thomas, Jonathan Allen, Leonard Fournette or Marshon Lattimore.

My guess would be Adams, Thomas or Fournette.

Why are you thinking the Bengals shouldn't have to trade up for Thomas? Are you thinking he falls a bit?

As for Fournette, the Bengals just like the Panthers would have to think the Jaguars might take him, which sort of like my Panthers-Jaguars trade idea, thinking as much could force their hand in a move to 4.
