Hobson's Choice: Draft day edition looking ahead at potential additions to the Bengals
I think the only thing I've chortled about is how the Bengals spent so much last month in free agency and the reaction was one of shock and awe.

NFL draft: Joe Burrow pick the last chance for Bengals in Cincinnati
Joe Burrow probably doesn’t know that the Bengals stadium lease is up in 2026. Definitely, he doesn’t care. It’s not his concern that his performance for the next four years – the length of a rookie contract in the NFL – likely will determine if the city keeps its NFL team.

After months of buildup and a busy few weeks of phone calls, texts and Zoom sessions with NFL talent evaluators and coaches, I'm putting out my final mock for the 2020 NFL Draft. This one includes several trades, with reasoning and context, as there are a number of teams looking to move up (Atlanta, hello) and quite a few looking to drop down and acquire more assets. I've got just three quarterbacks going in the first round and only two in the top 10. There's a run on offensive tackles early and a few names you won't see elsewhere. Have at it, folks.
Saints' Loomis: Not afraid to draft QB we really like
"I think that any time you have a chance to get a quality quarterback prospect, regardless of your quarterback situation, you'd like to take advantage of that," Loomis said, via the team's official site. "For us, it hasn't come. There hasn't been the match where we're picking with a prospect that we really like.
