Jeremiah Smith will probably end up the best WR prospect of all time.

The Bengals signing LB Emany Johnson to their practice squad is fun. He was one of our biggest sleepers in the 2024 class and had a Round 3/4 grade on the final board. Quick notes: elite analytical profile and has been really good when given preseason reps.
We have made the following roster moves. 聽 馃敆: go.bengals.com/4hVBa2y

This is why you grade 700+ prospects every year. You never know when that truly deep cut will come in handy.

The Iowa to the NFL TE pipeline is still strong. DJ Vonnahme would be our likely TE1 in the 2027 Draft if he declares.

Omar Cooper Jr鈥檚 1st career game: Ran 1 route, got a reception, forced 2 missed tackles, & gained 30 yards (26 after-the-catch); left with injury. Omar Cooper Jr鈥檚 2nd career game: 6/103/1 on a team-leading 7 targets. 2/2 on contested targets.

The list of RBs in the NFL that are more talented than Kenneth Walker III is very short.

Oregon State WR Jesse Legree is having a better start to his college career than any current or recent elite WR prospect. And he鈥檚 doing it as a true freshman.

Under the radar but Dalton Risner is having the best year of his career in Year 8. The biggest layup in the history of layup free agent signings has turned into a rock for the Bengals.
NFL OG Pass Blocking through 5 weeks This is a Tate Ratledge post. Also, really cool to see Zion Johnson playing like a 1st rounder with a change of scenery.

NFL OT Pass Blocking through 5 weeks Amarius Mims has been the cleanest pass blocking OT in the league so far. Also noting Spencer Fano. Looks like a home run pick for Cleveland.

NFL LB Production through 5 weeks Jacob Rodriguez is already one of the biggest defensive playmakers in the league. And Arvell Reese is living up to the hype.

The Bengals adding both Jonathan Allen and Dexter Lawrence in one offseason was a work of art. They upgraded one of the worst position groups in the entire NFL with two of the NFL鈥檚 most productive DTs so far.
NFL iDL Production through 5 weeks Alim McNeill has quietly had a dominant start to the season. The Seahawks and Bengals have had the strongest duos in the league to this point.

It was always Walter Nolen and Deone Walker from last year鈥檚 DT class. Both look like major hits so far.
Using some of the most predictive production and measurement data points to identify iDL targets. Bet on Walter Nolen and Deone Walker.

Biggest Bengals takeaway from this? Give Cashius Howell some of Myles Murphy鈥檚 snaps. Howell has had the same amount of high-level impact as Murphy has had on ~100 less snaps.
NFL EDGE Production through 5 weeks There are 3 truly elite guys in the league right now. Boye Mafe has been a nice signing for the Bengals.

Colin Simmons is the 2027 EDGE1 and is trending towards a profile similar to other elite EDGE prospects.

Loved Jack Kiser coming out in 2025. He had a higher production score for us than either of the LBs the Bengals drafted, for what it鈥檚 worth. He is about as sure of a tackler as you can be.
Bengals claimed former fourth-round pick, LB Jack Kiser, on waivers from the Jacksonville Jaguars.

Amarius Mims allowed 0 pressures on 32 pass block opportunities today vs. the Dolphins, per PFF initial charting. If that holds, it's his 4th clean sheet in 5 games. Best pass-blocking RT in the NFL.
Amarius Mims allowed 0 pressures on 56 pass block opportunities today vs. the Jaguars, per PFF initial charting. If that holds, that will be zero pressures on 160+ pass block snaps to start the season. Mims is squarely in the conversation for best RT in the NFL.

2026 EDGE Class | Final Production vs. Athleticism David Bailey is in elite territory as the clear EDGE1 in this class. Other guys we feel good about: 鉃朤J Parker 鉃朖aishawn Barham 鉃朌ani Dennis-Sutton 鉃朑abe Jacas Strong data profiles are critical at EDGE.
