Author: Jungle Juice June 19, 2025 Duration: 59:37

With the quiet months of the offseason underway, the guys take a look back at one of the more questioned aspects of the Bengals front office: the NFL Draft. Today, they specifically look into the drafts of 2022, 2023 and 2024 to see where the Bengals got it right, and where they got it wrong and how a different move could have shaped things differently.

For anyone who lives and breathes Cincinnati Bengals football, there’s a familiar, conversational rhythm to Jungle Juice: A Podcast about the Cincinnati Bengals. It’s the sound of two longtime friends, Mick Nelson and Sam Gormley, who happen to be season ticket holders, breaking down everything from the latest game film and front-office moves to the broader narratives shaping the team’s season. Each episode feels less like a formal broadcast and more like pulling up a stool next to them at the local spot, where the analysis is sharp but always grounded in a genuine fan’s perspective. You’ll hear their weekly takes on the big stories, of course, but the real texture comes from the decades of shared history they bring to the table-that unique blend of hope, frustration, and unwavering loyalty that defines the Bengals experience. It’s this authentic dynamic that often turns a simple recap into something more, whether they’re dissecting a crucial third-down play or, as they’ve noted, casually slipping into an impromptu therapy session for the collective fanbase after a tough loss. This podcast thrives on that specific, communal feeling, offering a consistent and deeply personal touchpoint throughout the rollercoaster of an NFL year.
