The Bengals could eventually emerge winners of the NFL offseason’s first blockbuster trade.
Said blockbuster trade featured the Lions sending veteran quarterback Matthew Stafford to the Rams in exchange for quarterback Jared Goff and a host of draft picks.
Looking ahead to the draft, the Lions could now be an interesting trade-down opportunity for the Bengals to target.
Those Lions, holding the seventh pick, gave up a borderline elite passer and could still turnaround and want to draft a passer this year.
Goff, no matter how the Lions and reports want to paint it, is still a former No. 1 pick who wasn’t able to match expectations and an offensive guru like Sean McVay just gave up on him.
If the board on draft day falls right, the Bengals could end up having a trade down partner with a Lions team now bloated with extra draft assets and potentially thinking about the future
