Free Agency’s frenzy has passed, as both teams and available players await the next wave of opportunities. Most eyes are focused on the draft, with the Bengals having many opportunities to better their roster.

On this week’s show, we take a look at one of the biggest—in many senses of the word—options for the team at No. 18. We also celebrate the recovery timeline of Joe Burrow, as he has been cleared to continue moving forward from the late-season wrist injury.

Plus, John and Anthony unveil their first mock draft, but with a twist. They go three rounds and instead of agreeing on a pick, they go their own routes.

Here’s a recap:

  • Joe Burrow has reportedly been cleared to throw. We’ll see what happens when OTAs and training camp rolls around, in terms of a “pitch count”.
  • The Bengals shored up the right tackle spot with a short-term solution in Trent Brown, but they’ll undoubtedly look for a longer-term solution in this year’s deep tackle class. Amarius Mims provides an intriguing, albeit risky solution at No. 18 overall.
  • John and Anthony dive into a three-round mock draft with two different paths.
  • And more!
