The last few days before the draft are filled with plenty of hot takes fired in all directions.
Some of it is team’s purposefully putting out a smokescreen for their actual plans.
Some of it is to get as many clicks as possible.
Some of it is just so outlandish that it is hard to even fathom it was actually put out there.
One of those stories comes from Pro Football Network insider Tony Pauline, who put out an interesting rumor he heard as to why the Bengals may actually draft wide receiver Ja’Marr Chase over offensive tackle Penei Sewell.
