Cincinnati Bengals Should Trade for Marvin Harrison Jr.

Of course, I would love to address linebacker and have an all-world linebacker, an all-world left tackle. If I could clone Mims and put Mims on the other side as well and then have Orlando as the swing, well, now how much better is this offensive line? No doubt. I don't see that offensive tackle available. What I do see is a guy that everybody thought was a home-run pick at wide receiver, not getting targeted, being called lazy, being called disgruntled, being called all of these different things, like he just forgot how to play football. I want to bet on that. And if there was that at offensive tackle, or if I thought I saw that at linebacker where there was a buy low, well, I would do it. But I'm not going to ignore wide receiver and not have this discussion when it could be such a game changer for the Cincinnati Bengals team. And I get it. It sounds outlandish because, man, James, you're always focused on weapons and weapons and weapons. Fine. I get it. But it's clearly not working in Arizona. ESPN's Jeremy Fowler reporting that a day three pick could be what it takes to land Marvin. When I talked about this last Friday, I said, hey, day two pick all day long I would be in on. And I still would. And I would because I'm willing to bet on that talent with Troy Walters in this offense where he's never going to see double coverage ever, ever, ever because he's the third best wide receiver in the room. And so when you do that, when you bring him into it, he's still going to get targets because they throw the ball all over the field. It's not going to feel like Arizona where he's getting two or three targets a game and not really involved much. And it's going to be a refreshing change for Marvin Harrison Jr., I would have no doubt in my mind. So I think it fits in every way from that standpoint outside of the need. And that's where people kept coming back to, need, need, need. Fine, I get it. Ideally, you'd have Jordan Brooks at linebacker. I don't think Miami's trying to move him. That's why they just paid him. They just did. If Arizona signs Marvin Harrison Jr. to a contract extension at some point, we won't be having this discussion. They're not going to do that because they are out on Marvin. If I'm the Bengals, I would be very much in on Marvin.
