Wraith

OT - Mims, Brown, Cochran, Kirkland G - Ford, Volson, Patrick, ? C - Karras, Lee I think they have some steam on Guards that they like that are going to be released after the draft

Sign one (hopefully Scheriff) and draft one (Zabel, Booker, or Jackson)

Nick Wright is a KC Bobo who knows the Bengals are the Chiefs biggest threat in the AFC. I would love Hendrickson signed at the right price but my right price would be less than 30. If they cannot, trading him for a high second and late third would work for me. Take 17 and replace Hendrickson, there are several mid first level guys at Edge and then take your new second and new third and use them to fix the interior o-line.

All..... I am working on a plan here. Acknowledging the the FO has fucked around with Higgins and Hendrickson enough that the damage is irreparable, we trade Higgins to the Pats for number 37 and 77 (from Detroit) and trade Hendrickson to the Raiders for 38 and their comp pick 92. This leaves us with 17, 37, 38, 48, 77, 81, 92 and our normal 4th, 5th and 6th rd picks. We need to fill Higgins' X role, Hendrickson and Hubbard, both Guard slots and we still need help at LBer, Safety, and CB. The targets at 17 would be Ty Warren (TE Penn State), Mike Green (DE, Marshall), James Pearce, Jr. (DE, Tennessee), and Emeka Egbuka (WR, Ohio State). At 37 we look for Guards, either Zabel or Booker At 38, depending on who we took at 17 we either go DE or TE/WR. Targets would be Princely the DE from Old Miss, Jaylin Noel (WR from Iowa State), Colston Loveland (TE, Michigan), or one of the two DEs from Ohio State (Sawyer or JT) At 48, I want to go DB and I like Watts from Notre Dame here.. In the third I want to double down on Guard and DE while locking up one of the RBs....perfect scenario would be Skattebo or Kaleb Johnson at RB and Donovan Jackson for Guard. At DE Landon Jackson from Arkansas or Robinson from Alabama. In the fouth, fifth and sixth just BPA making sure you pickup a good second WR prospect (Higgins in the fourth would be incredible) and a good CB like Dotson from Kansas or Dorian Strong from VA Tech. What do you think? We would replace Hendrickson, and Higgins, fill both Guard slots and get faster, younger and more athletic in general.

I think one of those slots is being held for Raymond Johnson.....

Matt Jones

I feel it is SuperBowl or bust this, I really do.

Rooting for Kuntz with #1

Hard to tell because Illinois didn't pass much.

I think Mixon is getting cut.

Terrific Pick, Chase Brown is a hard working kid, team leader, 139 YPG last year in the Big Ten when EVERYONE knew he was their offense.

Dawand Jones, Roshon Johnson or Tomi Adebawore.

I have not heard Joe's opinion on the pick but I am worried.. here was a 5 star recruit who came out like gang busters his freshman year but regressed the next two....his impact on games was inconsistent at best and that bodes badly for his NFL projection

If the two TEs are gone, and the four OTs are gone (Skoronski, Thomas, Johnson, and Wright...my personal fav), and Bijan Robinson is not available, I want them to go Interior Pass Rusher. Either Kancey or Adebawore. The last two seasons have ended because of unblockable DTs. Kancey for sure #1 but close behind is Adebawore. Raw, still learning how to use his body but the most freakish athlete in this draft, longer than Kancey, Team Captain, academic all American.....checks off ALOT of boxes

Recent interviews suggest he may be able to start the season....at least he thinks so
