ArmyBengal Posted February 4, 2019 Report Share Posted February 4, 2019 So right off the bat, my mock draft is predicated off of getting Ju'Wuan James (RT) from the Dolphins and Jordon Hicks (ILB) in free agency. Just make the move and pay the men to shore up both sides of the ball at a positions of weakness that would otherwise be filled by a rookie. Noting their may be more changes coming, I would have the o-line looking like this to start: Glenn, Boling, Price, Hopkins/Westerman, James Round 1 - Devin White, ILB, LSU The defense picks up Jordan Hicks in free agency (Eagles are 18 mil OVER cap) and him and White dominate the middle of our new 3-4 base package. White is a f*cking beast. Period. There's nothing more needing to be said.Back 4 looks like: Hubbard, Hicks, White, Lawson Front 3 looks like: Dunlap, Billings, Atkins Round 2 - Irv Smith Jr., TE, Alabama Don't kill me yet. No reason to bring back Eifert and damn near every other TE is a free agent. I think Smith has 1st round talent and we need a TE weapon. God knows when we have that weapon, Dalton can find them, when looking at what Eifert did in his last healthy season. Round 3 - Trey Pipkins, LT, Sioux Falls Sure he's small school, but he will provide not only backup for the o-line, but at the LT spot and can develop as the season goes along. If Glenn continues with health issues, the Bengals can move on from him with $0 dead cap space hit. Round 4 - Ta'von Coney, OLB, Notre Dame We will need back up linebackers with the switch to a 3-4 and Coney would represent good value in the 4th round having been productive at Notre Dame. Both Preston Brown and Vinny Rey are free agents as well, so doubling up at linebacker is almost a given in my thought process. Round 5 - Hamp Cheevers, CB, Boston College Undersized CB for sure, but a ball hawk who can play the slot. Depending on what happens with Dennard as a free agent, adding a CB is a must. We could certainly argue that adding a CB sooner would be smart and I wouldn't disagree. It would depend on how the board fell, as always. Round 5 (TRADE) - Anthony Nelson, DE, Iowa The Bengals trade 2 of their 3 sixth round comp picks and get some depth with a very productive Nelson out of Iowa. Nelson had 13.5 tackles for loss and another 9.5 sacks on the season. He is also a true 3-4 DE from his time in college. Round 6 - Kyle Shurmur, QB, Vanderbilt Driskel still has another year on his contract and while he might not be starter material, he will probably be the backup in 2019. That being said, adding another arm should be considered and this is good value for Shurmur who threw for 63%, 3130 yards, 24 TD's with 6 INT's. Round 6 (COMP) - Malcolm Pridgeon, OG, Ohio State Solid in both the run game and pass protection, I think this would be another good value pick and certainly add some competition at a position of need.Round 7 - William Sweet, OT, North Carolina The guy is probably a RT moving forward, but could back up multiple positions and I wouldn't complain about that from a 7th rounder. OK, that's all I've got at this point. It's sure to change moving forward, but I wanted to have a little fun and see how things were going to shake out. That TE pick in the 2nd is sure to irritate some I'm sure. Oh well... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
COB Posted February 6, 2019 Report Share Posted February 6, 2019 If we don’t get Hamp Cheevers and William Sweet, I’ll go on a violent rampage all over Licking County, Ohio. (Additionally, I’ll trim the Boxwoods on the side of our house the way my wife doesn’t like them to be trimmed, the way I trimmed them when we moved in, resulting in multiple lectures on how to properly trim boxwoods).

COB Posted February 6, 2019 Report Share Posted February 6, 2019 Hamp Cheevers has a baller name. That name alone won’t let him drop past the middle of the 4th. Attention Pocket McVay, grab Cheevers in the 4th! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ArmyBengal Posted February 6, 2019 Author Report Share Posted February 6, 2019 "Hamp Cheevers" yeah, how can you not love that one ?? On a side note, I hate trimming the boxwoods we have in the landscaping. They straight piss me off every time I have to deal with them. Stupid boxwoods and their stupid little leaves. FUCK YOU BOXWOOD BUSHES !!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ArmyBengal Posted February 13, 2019 Author Report Share Posted February 13, 2019 Something looks familiar between mine done on 4 February and Charlie Campbell's from Walterfootball done a couple days ago. Check out his 1st three picks for the Bengals:http://walterfootball.com/draft2019charlie.php Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TJJackson Posted February 20, 2019 Report Share Posted February 20, 2019 Need OLs taken earlier, the later picks can be CB and whatever Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ArmyBengal Posted February 25, 2019 Author Report Share Posted February 25, 2019 Just depends on what they do in free agency and how the new coaches view who we already have. Should they actually give Westerman or even Hopkins a shot at RG, that could be interesting. Don't we also have an OT coming back from injury ?? I could be mistaken. Don't get me wrong, none of them maybe All-Pro candidates, but the line has been mishandled for a while now. I don't care if they get anyone else to come back internally, just go get an above average RT in free agency. That alone solves a huge weakness and frees up your draft board immensely. It would also make a pick like Irv Smith Jr. in the 2nd round feasible (should he still be there). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't know where William Sweet went, but Hamp "Baller" Cheevers signed with the Titans as an UDFA. Shit is about to get real in Licking County and God help the boxwoods !!!

ArmyBengal Posted April 29, 2019 Author Report Share Posted April 29, 2019 Also, my draft when simply looking at position wasn't the worst I've thrown out there. We took the TE in the 2nd round, but I had the wrong one. We took a LT and OG, but I had the wrong ones. I did have the right school for the OG though in Ohio State. We took both an inside and outside linebacker, but I had the wrong ones. We took a CB and QB, but I had the wrong ones again. I've had worse showings in my mocks in the past, but I've also had better. It's all in fun though, so whatever. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
