How One NFL GM’s Stark Warning About the Bengals’ No. 10 Pick Sparked a Game-Changing Trade for Dexter Lawrence
— Daniel Jeremiah (@MoveTheSticks) April 19, 2026
The steep prices paid by the Bengals for Dexter Lawrence underscores two important points about this draft class:This is not a strong draft at the top. The lack of blue chippers is well-established.
This draft is extremely thin at defensive tackle.
— Field Yates (@FieldYates) April 19, 2026
Yates and Jeremiah are two of the best when it comes to the NFL Draft. When they say something draft-related, it should be taken seriously. There are some talented players at the top of the draft, but they all come with their question marks.
There’s Rueben Bain’s arm length, Jermod McCoy’s torn ACL, Keldric Faulk’s lack of production, and others. SI’s Albert Breer even said recently that Alabama offensive tackle Kayden Proctor was a dark-horse candidate for the Bengals in Round 1.
No thank you.
The Bengals haven’t drafted overly well in recent years, especially on defense. So what did they do Saturday night? They went outside the box, tried something different.
Rather than bet on drafting and developing, they said, “The hell with the 10th pick, we’re trading it for a proven defensive commodity.” That’s what the Bengals did.
Yes, the Bengals. They did this.
This is how you modernize. Mike Brown is going all in. The time is now. If you’re looking at hotels in Los Angeles for the second week of February, good for you! I am too.
I can’t even begin to tell you how ecstatic I am that the #Bengals made this trade.CHECK OUT THE HOTTEST DEALS ON AMAZON!
