Bengals Trade for Lawrence, Avoid Draft Reach

0:00It's April 23rd. You're listening to NFL News today, AI-powered NFL coverage. The Cincinnati Bengals dropped jaws across the NFL by trading their tenth overall draft pick to grab New York Giants' nose tackle Dexter Lawrence. Straight up. Word was they peeped the top defensive talent sliding in the draft and weren't feeling it, but now insiders confirm it ran deeper than that. From the ADHD Cowboys podcast, former Dallas Scout, Brian Broadus, laid it out plain, Bengals were set to reach big for Clemson defensive tackle, Peter. Woods right at number 10. Woods got skills no doubt, but Mox had him pegged for late first round, so snagging him early would have been a stretch that opened doors for teams. Picking after, like the Cowboys, smart call by Cincinnati dodging that bullet. Lawrence bolsters their line now, and the draft board just got a whole lot more interesting for everyone. Else.
