Series Thread: 2024 Bengals draft

[DanBengalfan]

Burton will have to learn the offense. we're deeper at WR than people think, Iosivas, Charlie Jones, and Trent Irwin all will get snaps.

I really feel people are sleeping on Jones in the slot...dude has legit speed.

Dude had what, around 115 catches in college the year we drafted him?

I think he led the nation, or was like top 3...and he's got legit speed. Saw that on his return for TD. He also got open a few times down the stretch, where Browning just missed him.

You get a formation out there with Chase, Jones, and Burton and you have 3 guys who can legit just run by the defense. There's no bubble help on Chase that solves that issue.

Charlie Jones - 110 receptions - led NCAA.

1,361 yards - #2 in NCAA

12 TD's - tied 5th NCAA

I hope you're right.... I started referring to him as Chuck Simmer last year.

Deep at WR. plus a great back in Brown. I hope burrow beefed up a little. Browning got reps last year. they're are plenty of positives

Burrow did add some weight this off-season:

On bulking up his body in the offseason: "We're bigger. Definitely bigger. We'll see where I'm at the end of the offseason. I feel good about where my body is right now … I'm eating more, I'm more dialed as far as nutrition and food schedule and eating when I need to so that's been a big area of emphasis for me and I've seen the results."

Chuck Simmer too slow to catch up to Burrow's arm....
