    Cincinnati Bengals Director of College Scouting Mike Potts | The Best Draft Class in Recent Memory

    Cincinnati Bengals Director of College Scouting Mike Potts | The Best Draft Class in Recent Memory

    Cincinnati Bengals director of college scouting Mike Potts joins us today on In the Trenches with Dave Lapham to discuss the 2024 NFL draft class and why he believes this is one of the best draft classes in recent memory. 
     
    Potts and Lap talk about the important positions the Bengals will address in the 2024 draft. The Bengals did a great job filling their biggest needs in free agency, adding very talented players at key positions like safety, tight end, defensive tackle, and offensive tackle. It puts the Bengals in a great spot where they can take their best available player in each round. The first-round pick will be very telling on the Bengals strategy for the whole draft, will they sit at 18 and draft in the Trenches? Or will they be aggressive and trade up to grab an offensive weapon? All questions will be answered Thursday night so make sure you tune in! 
     
    Also, be sure to tune in for First Star Logistics' 2nd Annual Bengals Draft Party this Friday with live coverage on the 2nd & 3rd rounds of the NFL Draft! The action starts at 7:30 and will run until 10:00 so make sure you tune in for great giveaways and all your Bengals coverage! 
     
    We want to thank Mike Potts for being a fantastic guest and for joining us today on In the Trenches with Dave Lapham brought to you by First Star Logistics.

    Who Will the Cincinnati Bengals Target in the 2024 NFL Draft | Solomon Wilcots & Dave Lapham

    Who Will the Cincinnati Bengals Target in the 2024 NFL Draft | Solomon Wilcots & Dave Lapham

    Former Cincinnati Bengal and sports commenter Solomon Wilcots joins us today on In the Trenches with Dave Lapham to discuss who he thinks the Bengals will be targeting in the 2024 NFL draft. 
    The Bengals did a great job addressing their needs in free agency where they don't have a glary hole they need to fill going into the draft. The biggest position the Bengals addressed was safety, signing two starting quality players in Geno Stone and the former Bengals Vonn Bell. 
    Lap and Solly talk about the four positions they believe will be the biggest priorities for the Bengals in the upcoming draft; offensive tackle, defense tackle, cornerback, and wide receiver. They guarantee those four positions will be drafted it just depends on what round those picks will happen. 
    Let us know in the comments below who you would draft in the first round!?

    Exclusive: Alex Cappa's Excitement for 2024 - The Bonding Starts Now

    While members of the Cincinnati Bengals have been doing some offseason work on their own, this week, the real work begins as players come together for some basic workouts as a team.
    For Bengals right guard Alex Cappa, the thrill of returning to Cincinnati and the prospect of working with new right tackle Trent Brown is invigorating. His commitment to his role in propelling the Bengals towards another Super Bowl, and his aspiration to secure a Super Bowl ring for all the Bengals offensive linemen, is truly inspiring.
    Cappa jumped In The Trenches with Dave Lapham, presented by First Star Logistics, to discuss some of his new teammates, getting ready for another NFL season, and more.

    Also discussed was the generosity of Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow, who donated $25,000 so Karras would get a "Cincy" tattoo during Karras's huge St. Tatty's Day event.
    As for the new members of the Bengals this upcoming season, Karras has some firsthand knowledge about a couple of the newest members of the team and deep dives into each of them.

First listens

Lap, I love this! Jumped into the draft week podcast (very good) but it rolled into the episode with you and Kappa - GOLD! That was fantastic conversation and OL fun sir. Thank you

<3techno ,

Love this podcast.

I’ve been a Lapham fan forever - am a long long time Bengals fan. He was playing OL when I was a kid first watching the Bengals. How can you not live Solly. I’m a huge Solomon Wilcots fan as well. A true broadcasting pro. Rode a team with him once upon a time as he was heading to a Super Bowl. Was such a nice guy. Love him.

That high pitch beep has to go!

Just as the title says, there was a high pitched beep on the latest episode that was beyond annoying.
