INDIANAPOLIS — The NFL Scouting Combine came to a close with the latest crop of physical freakishness on full display.

Meanwhile, in the bars and restaurants, similar amazing feats were happening. On top of that, a slew of Cincinnati Bengals coaches spent time with reporters, agents lingered in the hallways and even former players like Domata Peko (now coaching defensive linemen) popped up around corners of the Marriott. So it goes at the NFL convention.

Here is a collection of thoughts following the week that was about the critical two months in front of the Bengals.

Judge a combine riser by the number of eyeball emoji tweets posted. It gives a feel of a handful of players advancing from good to great. That can and did happen with some.

Yet, for the most part, these numbers are verifiers and not amplifiers. The thought around Indianapolis was that there aren’t 18 true first-round-graded players in this draft. As one league source put it, you’d probably rather be at 28 than 18, suggesting the value for Cincinnati could exist in a trade back this year.
