Summary

This is all in. Mike Brown, Duke Tobin, Zac Taylor, Al Golden, and the Cincinnati Bengals are going all in on the 2026 Season by trading for Dexter Lawrence, the best defensive tackle in the NFL. Alex Frank, Jake Liscow, and Coach Art Valero discuss this seismic move that is a complete shift in organizational philosophy in a win-now window for the Bengals. While the Bengals now don't have the 10th overall pick in this year's Draft, they still have seven picks remaining in Rounds 2-7. What are the biggest positions of need now for the Bengals? Has their draft strategy shifted? Linebacker is still a pressing need for this team. However, trading for Dexter Lawrence now makes them a question mark as opposed to a liability. Alex explains why that alone raises the ceiling for this team. Finally, the guys discuss the national view on the Bengals making this blockbuster trade and what it could mean for the 2026 Bengals' schedule.
