    TUBP: Reviewing The Last 5 Bengals Drafts

    The Unofficial Bengals Podcast presents its yearly review of the last 5 Bengals' drafts - how many starters and Pro Bowlers did we pull down, who is still with the team, who helped us, who let us down, how successful we were in rounds 1-2 and rounds 3-7, our tendencies, what worked and didn't work, the 5 best picks since 2021, and so much more. Then, TUBStradamus makes his yearly appearance to hang on the rim with his free agency predictions, and give a scary forecast of what the emergence of flag football could mean for the NFL years and years down the road. We also review the headlines, transactions, the Flacco signing, the league meetings, and then... TUBP throws down the gauntlet to the Bengals diehards to compete against me regarding Bengals draft history, as I give my accuracy percentage on my knowledge of our draft picks in a quiz from 1992-present. When you cut me, I truly do bleed orange. Hope this is proof enough. No one talks Bengals quite like The Unofficial Bengals Podcast!! Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

    TUBP: Bengals Free Agency 2026

    The Unofficial Bengals Podcast discusses the Bengals 2026 free agency foray and the immediate impact of Trey 'Moneyball' LaBounty - the Bengals newest analytical whiz in the front office. We discuss the 3 key defensive signings - why these players will help us improve, and the impact of these signings on the draft and free agency. Then we move on to the Bengals needs and potential fits at LB, and that 'the answers are right there in front of us' in the draft and free agency for the potential of an abundance of defenders on all 3 levels. The Show wraps up with a quick run through the other AFC North teams' additions and departures, including the Maxx Crosby debacle, Hendrickson, Cleveland's overhaul of their OL, and the Steelers upgrades to the defense, as well as their latest QB saga.
