Welcome in to the Locked-on Bengals podcast on a Wednesday.

Great to be back with you.

I'm recovered.

I'm here.

I'm ready.

I want to talk Bengals on Twitter at James Rupin at Locked-on-Bengels.

Subscribe iTunes, the I-HeartRadio app, Google, Play, Stitch, or Spotify, and wherever you get your podcast.

Also, every podcast, a bunch of articles locked on

bengals.com, including right now why trading back made so much sense and should open up

the bengals draft board to a lot of positions. I outlined those positions and more on the website

locked on bengals.com.

So today, I want to dive in and I want to talk solely about one topic.

And one topic only, and there will be time to dive into the draft.

I'm going to try to get draft people on, and we're going to try to go heavy draft.

I'm sorry, by the way, if you're new to the podcast, we do this every single day,

haven't done it the past couple days because I was out of town for a bachelor party.

Didn't have a voice yesterday.

I had to take the red eye, came back to Cincinnati, and I thought I'd have a voice.

Had a voice the whole weekend.

Get back.

I lost it. Didn't have one struggled to make it through my normal radio

show that I co-host. And I was like, well, people are going to let me talking like this on the podcast.
