The Cincinnati Bengals have never in their history made a direct player for pick trade during the season.
Until today.
With the trade of a seventh-round pick for Khalil Herbert, the Bengals showed that they are serious about competing this season after the victory against the Raiders. With Zack Moss possibly missing the rest of the regular season, the team desperately needed a back to pair with Chase Brown, and Herbert is a great addition.
A back who is just ok in the passing game and a decent but not great pass blocker, Herbert grades out very well as a rusher and can immediately get some snaps in a near must-win against the Ravens.
