Former NFL quarterback and current NBC NFL analyst Chris Simms joins us today on In the Trenches with Dave Lapham to discuss Joe Burrow's return, the Bengals 2024 draft class, and the Bengals 2024 schedule. 

Chris was one of the national media members to praise the Bengals draft, as he believes it was one of the strongest classes in the NFL this year. He thinks Jermaine Burton might be the biggest steal of the draft saying if Alabama had a better QB while he was there he would've been a first-round pick. Chris also loves the Bengals in the trenches picks with Mims, Jenkins, and Jackson. 

Lap and Chris also discuss the Bengals 2024 schedule, and many believe it's a favorable schedule for the Bengals. With an early matchup against the Super Bowl-winning Chiefs, it will be key for the Bengals to have a great start to the season unlike the past two seasons. Compared to the last two seasons the schedule should be in the Bengal's favor as they play a 4th place schedule in 2024 compared to a 1st place schedule like the previous two seasons.
