EDIT: Vernon Davis ran a 4.38 / 40 at the combine, he is the current record holder. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And I agree if ATL does not trade the pick or take a QB, they take Pitts at #4 Don't disagree. Hence my "melt brains" reference. If SF took Pitts in these circumstances the discussion of it would be amazing to witness. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HoosierCat Posted April 1, 2021 Report Share Posted April 1, 2021 New two round mock from McShay https://www.espn.com/nfl/draft2021/insider/story/_/id/31165378/nfl-mock-draft-2021-todd-mcshay-predictions-all-64-picks-rounds-1-2-plus-where-seven-qbs-land#round2 He has us taking Chase at 5 and Jaylen Mayfield at 38. Note that he has Humphrey, Cosmi, Dickerson, Meinerz, Leatherwood (at 60!), Little and Hudson all going later in the second. So if you don’t like mayfield take your pick.

membengal Posted April 1, 2021 Report Share Posted April 1, 2021 I approve of that sequence. I would go w/ almost any of the others over Mayfield, but I love that those were all on his theoretical board. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Everytime i take Chase, there are multiple OT starters left in round 2, usually Jenkins, who i like almost as much as sewell. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, with this workout any hope of Marshall falling to us at #38 have been dashed. I feel much better about Chase/Leatherwood than I do about Sewell/Moore (Elijah or Rondale). I would love the following guys to the Bengals at #38... Leatherwood, Cosmi, Jenkins, Davis, Vera-Tucker (unlikely), Darrisaw (also unlikely), Radunz, Little, Eichenberg, or Dickerson. There is no chance that one or more of those guys are not available to us at #38 and any of them would start immediately at RG. Sure Sewell is a great prospect, probably the best left tackle prospect I have ever seen but Chase is likely also the best WR prospect I have seen since Calvin Johnson and the instant rapport with Burrow is too good to pass up. BTW I believe the best non-QB prospect in this draft is actually Kyle Pitts but I also believe he will go at #4 to Atlanta barring someone trading up for a QB. There are 10 first round graded OLinemen in this draft AFTER Sewell and Slater go....that is incredible and unheard of. On top of that, I also think Meinerz, Hudson, Carmen, Mayfield, and Humphery are also starting grade players. You end up with Chase, Leatherwood, and Meinerz or Humphrey in the first three rounds it almost doesn't matter what the rest of the draft looks like, you have won. BTW Jenkins is my favorite of the #38 pool but I believe he will be long gone by #38, Leatherwood or Radunz would make a fine consolation prize. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This aligns almost exactly with my thoughts if indeed Chase goes at 5 Of course, tho, the rest of the rounds do matter to me :-) especially getting two passrushing DLs in rounds 4 and 5 :-) I keep thinking we're gonna need to move up from early three into late 2 to get one of the two OC/OGs. I dont think the OSU or GA centers are close to as good as those two Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TJJackson Posted April 2, 2021 Report Share Posted April 2, 2021 I dont know if this is true for the Bengals or not, but for a lot of teams, the measured arm length means he projects as an OG, not an OT Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

membengal Posted April 2, 2021 Report Share Posted April 2, 2021 I put this in the other thread, but his arms are 1/2 an inch shorter than Jonah's . Here's my worry w/ the short arms thing - he's not a technician. At all. Not at this point in his development. He is all projection there. Joe Thomas overcame short arms from being a technician from the jump. That's...not Sewell. It is Slater. I am now firmly: Chase Tradedown Pitts as my only preferred options at 5.

COB Posted April 3, 2021 Report Share Posted April 3, 2021 Willie clearly thinks we should draft Sewell. But what does an NFL great know about football? We’ve got Mike Brown on the case! He’ll draft us our skill position player, we can marvel at his ability to almost catch the innacurate passes thrown to him by Burrow’s backup.

He's ONLY a slot. We have Boyd. He's 5'7" and simply cannot play outside. His route tree was non-existent at Purdue. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TJJackson Posted April 4, 2021 Report Share Posted April 4, 2021 If we go the tradedown route from 5 and either a) we go OL at our top pick and one of the top receivers fall into the 20's or b) we go receiver (Pitts included) at our top pick and one of the top OLs fall into the 20's then I wouldnt be adverse to packaging our second r2 pick and our second r3 pick (both obtained in the initial tradedown) to trade back up into rd 1 to snag that player targets in scenario a: Bateman, Smith, Waddle, Marshall targets in scenario b: Jenkins, Leatherwood, Darrisaw, Slater, or Vera-Tucker yes, i already know some of those targets are highly unlikely to slip into the 20s. Stranger things have happened, tho. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
