If the Bengals’ front office needed a wake-up call, the Ravens just delivered one by trading for Maxx Crosby. The AFC North was already the "Group of Death" for quarterbacks, but now? It’s a literal gauntlet of nightmares for Joe Burrow. Look at the pass-rushing lineup Joe B has to see twice a year: Myles Garrett T.J. Watt Maxx Crosby The Bengals currently have a Top 10 pick in the 2026 Draft and over $50 million in cap space. There is zero room for "budgeting" on the offensive line anymore. While Amarius Mims is developing and Dalton Risner is back, Cincy cannot afford to be "good enough." If a blue-chip tackle like Francis Mauigoa is there at #10, you take him. No questions asked. You have a generational, world-class QB in his prime. But in a division with Watt, Garrett, and now Crosby, "Joey B" is only as good as the time he has to throw.
