Max Montoya, the best right guard you don’t know, is the best reason for celebrating 50 seasons of Bengals.
Montoya isn’t the only reason of course, but guys like him are the best reasons. Guys like the two Kennys, quarterback Ken Anderson, and cornerback Ken Riley. Guys like wide receiver Isaac Curtis and tight end Danny Ross. Guys like David Fulcher.

If this report is true, then the Bengals should draft John Ross (700WLW)
If the Bengals feel this way, then drafting Ross is a no-brainer.
Earlier today Tony Pauline of DraftAnalyst.com said the Bengals will consider drafting former Washington wide receiver John Ross. Pauline says the Bengals' medical staff has given the organization the 'green light' to draft Ross despite his injury history that includes multiple knee surgeries. Ross broke the NFL Combine 40-yard dash record with a time of 4.22 seconds. He visited Cincinnati last weekend.
The Bengals' free agency strategy could hurt them in the draft (ESPN 1530)
A look at the offseason and why it doesn't make any sense.
The Bengals whiffed in free agency and it could cost them in the draft. They didn't pay Andrew Whitworth or Kevin Zeitler. Both players signed multi-year contracts elsewhere.
I've been very critical of them letting both players walk, but that's not the worst part about what the Bengals did in free agency. They've also stuck by Adam Jones. Some fans have defended Jones’ off the field behavior, but there's no denying he's been a distraction.

Bruce Allen says he met privately with Chris Cooley, Scot McCloughan (ProFootballTalk)
One of the odd things that happened as Washington fired G.M.

Even odder was that the team never responded to that allegation, and never acknowledged that it was inappropriate for Cooley to speculate like that.
