TJJackson 350 Report post Posted February 14 They ran the tape so fast and went from one play to the next without time to talk about and/or rerun the game film in slo mo I really couldnt follow it for the most part my one real takeaway was that Alabama, with the choice of covering Toney or Pitts with their top CB Surtain, quite often chose to put Surtain on Pitts; and despite that, Pitts overall production was almost as good as Toney's was Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

membengal 384 Report post Posted February 14 Given two months, I could maybe, MAYBE, be talked into Pitts at 5. But not over chase or sewell. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
AMPHAR 473 Report post Posted February 14 Pitts had an AJ esque impact on Florida. When he played the Florida QB was compared to Burrow. When didn’t the QB came crashing back to earth. AJ got suspended at Georgia over some autograph or jersey stuff. Just night day and day difference when AJ returned. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TJJackson 350 Report post Posted February 15 This mock was interesting, though I think Slater at 9 (there's a tradedown with the Broncos with Sewell and Chase already off the board at 5) is still a bit too early https://stripehype.com/2021/02/14/bengals-7-round-2021-mock-draft-sewell-chase-off-board/5/ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

membengal 384 Report post Posted February 16 Ran a PFF mock and made the same trade the Locked On pod did (Denver up to 5 and Bengals get 9, 40, 71) - and came out with this... 1st Round #9 overall --- Ja'Marr Chase, WR, LSU (Pitts 3, Paye 4, Farley 7, Sewell 8 and 4 QBs in first eight picks) 2nd Round #38 overall --- Alijah Vera-Tucker, T/IOL, USC 2nd Round #40 overall --- Sam Cosmi, T, Texas 3rd Round #69 overall --- Joseph Ossai, Edge, Texas 3rd Round #71 overall --- Daviyon Nixon, IDL, Iowa 4th Round #111 overall --- Quinn Meinerz, IOL/C, Wisc-Whitewater 5th Round #150 overall --- Israel Mukuamu, CB, South Carolina 6th Round #192 overall --- Shi Smith, WR, South Carolina 7th Round #231 overall --- DJ Daniel, CB, Georgia 7th Round #233 overall --- JaCoby Stevens, S, LSU Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
HoosierCat 553 Report post Posted February 16 The QBx4 Sewell scenario gets another fan. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
membengal 384 Report post Posted February 16 Here’s the thing - it gets real easy to chill about five if you get to the place where you are happy with Sewell, chase, pitts or waddle. I am starting to arrive at that place. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Wraith 122 Report post Posted February 16 Sewell, Chase, Pitts any of the three and one will absolutely be there for us. In the second my target is Landon Dickerson from Alabama. I know he is listed as a Center but he will start Guard and he is an absolute bulldozer, graded above 90 for 'bama against NFL caliber competition. My Selections would be: 1) Chase or Pitts 2) Landon Dickerson, IOL Alabama 3) James Hudson, OT, Cincinnati You spend your draft like this in the first three and you pave the way for a Super Bowl Caliber team IMHO. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
membengal 384 Report post Posted February 16 I just hate that drafting Dickerson is really for 2022 at this point. I hate likely punting on an entire year from a second round pick. I do love the idea of Dickerson at full health though. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I completely disagree.....Dickerson was healthy enough to play the final snap of the Championship game. I think he will be ready for 2021 training camp. Obviously this is pending a physical.

membengal 384 Report post Posted February 16 Wraith - I was under the impression he tore his ACL - but I can’t seem to confirm that. Do we know what injury he had to his knee? The surgery was 12/28/20. I would love for someone to make clear that he’s good to go for august. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Wraith 122 Report post Posted February 16 He did tear his ACL but it was not nearly as severe as Burrow's and all indications are that he will be ready for the 2021 season Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

His profile looks good otherwise. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

membengal 384 Report post Posted February 18 Maybe? I mean, there may indeed be teams with Wilson that high. What I like is, if so, then we can be sure that at least 2 qbs are going in first four picks, despite what Kiper is trying to sell... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TJJackson 350 Report post Posted February 18 Bizzare but like Mem says, if this is true, it helps ensure our preferred picks remain available at 5, or otherwise improves the trade value of pick 5 if one or more of the desired four quarterbacks lasts till 5, so its all good Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
