ArmyBengal Posted April 25, 2019 Report Share Posted April 25, 2019 I figured we could use this thread to discuss who the pick is going to be, best players available as the draft goes, trades, etc. I will have the pick threads pinned and open them once a pick is made, so we can discuss specifically who we took. With that being said, I agree with much of what most are thinking in that LB/OT has to be the first round pick. I would love to see the Bengals get aggressive in moving up at some point to get the guys they truly want to have. It should be interesting in watching how things go with Zac Taylor and his first draft. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ArmyBengal Posted April 25, 2019 Author Report Share Posted April 25, 2019 I'm still curious to see what happens with players like Darron Lee, which I think would help our line backing corps and can be had in a trade with the Jets. We have 5 damn sixth round picks, offer two of them. He has to have more upside than anyone we could add at that point. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've been hoping to see a trade like this for days for Darren Lee. He would be an improvement that does not need to be developed.  Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TJJackson Posted April 25, 2019 Report Share Posted April 25, 2019 Assuming no trades (though we definitely don't need all those 6th rounders, they need to package 2 or three of them to move up for quality), I see the following being optimal Round 1, Overall 11 - OLT who can play ORT for now Round 2, Overall 42 - Coverage LB (any of the three spots is fine) Round 3, Overall 72 - OT (either side) Round 4, Overall 110 - Coverage LB (any of the three spots is fine) Round 5, Overall 149 - 3 down TE Round 6, Overall 183 - Developmental QB Round 6, Overall 198 - RB, prefer PR/KR skills Round 6, Overall 210 - speed CB, prefer PR/KR skills Round 6, Overall 211 - speed S, prefer PR/KR skills Round 6, Overall 213 - WR, prefer PR/KR skills Round 7, Overall 223 - Coverage LB, prefer superior athlete and/or LS (love Harris, but he's VERY old) over plug-n-play experienced player with less upside. Could be a DE or second TE or RB here instead I dont think we should take a DL this year unless the BPA in r6 or later is a DL graded *overwhelmingly* higher than other choices at that time. We need to bring in a couple of LS between late draft and/or UDCFAs to compete with Harris, who will be drawing SS benefits soon 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ArmyBengal Posted April 25, 2019 Author Report Share Posted April 25, 2019 Rumor is the Steelers wanting to move into the top 10 to target a LB. While nothing may happen, if both the Falcons and Steelers move ahead of the Bengals and we sit and do nothing, I'm going to be irritated. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AMPHAR Posted April 25, 2019 Report Share Posted April 25, 2019 I’m ok with sitting or trade down.   The big rub in this draft,IMO, is d-line talent. Supposed to be very good.  But not among your top needs. Lap seems to hitting around the tackles.  I think the roster openings point to that as well. If the LBs go then there is a d-line player and/or a tackle dropping.  Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShulaSteakhouse Posted April 25, 2019 Report Share Posted April 25, 2019 Who in the hell watches the "NFL Draft Red Carpet?" Why would anyone watch that? Why does it even exist? This isn't an awards ceremony. The NFL is so damn cheesy. I miss the old days where it was just ESPN guys rattling off picks as they came in and commenting on it - all...I....need.  Interested to see how the top 10 breaks down tonight though, not interested in what Bosa is wearing.

Ya! Someone got it. Never too early for CB depth or too many interior linemen. It’s the 7th round. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AMPHAR Posted April 25, 2019 Report Share Posted April 25, 2019 I think TE pick would be the only thing that would disappoint. Any D-line pick, I understand but wonder how you are getting them on the field this year. Any OT pick A+.  Just seems like a highly graded class.  Best in a couple years.Time to get one or two. Top 2 Devins at LB - A+ , just a huge need and well ranked prospects QB I just don’t see it at 11.   Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

COB Posted April 26, 2019 Report Share Posted April 26, 2019 Let’s talk about Marvin’s draft fails.  I’ll start.  He drafted a very talented place kicker, then cut him after camp after he predictably wasn’t his best in his first camp.  That kicker went on to win the Super Bowl his rookie year with the Eagles.  Marvin went on to giggle in press conferences and be a condescending d-bag. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
