membengal Posted April 27, 2022 Report Share Posted April 27, 2022 My personal wish list: Karlaftis (would be a dream if he fell) Zion Johnson ( i just don't think they will take a G at 31 unfortunately b/c if he falls to 31 he's perfect) Daxton Hill Kaiir Elam Linderbaum Ediketie Logan Hall Devonte Wyatt Cine Booth Kenyon Greene Gordon Booth (lack of testing/injury flags) and Wyatt (age and off-field flags) push them lower on my wish list.

Are you not concerned by Elam's poor tape and PFF grade last year? Every year Elam's grade has decreased, on tape he bites on double moves and gets wrong footed in what looks to be a lack of preparation. Elam to me has all the signs of a guy that survives on his athletic ability which does not translate in the NFL. Give me Gordon 10/10 over Elam, in Gordon you get a guy who gets better each and every season is known to be highly intelligent and a football junkie...that to me is worth .2 of a second on a 40 time.

HoosierCat Posted April 27, 2022 Author Report Share Posted April 27, 2022 Prisco with his annual "what teams should do" mock. For the Bengals: Quote Trent McDuffie CB WASHINGTON • SOPH • 5'11" / 193 LBS They brought back Eli Apple on a one-year deal, but they need to get a long-term solution to go with Chidobe Awuzie and Mike Hilton. They could add another offensive lineman here, but McDuffie is the pick. https://www.cbssports.com/nfl/draft/news/priscos-what-teams-should-do-2022-nfl-mock-draft-steelers-pick-desmond-ridder-no-malik-willis-in-round-1/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His PFF grades were fantastic the two prior years and he was grading great up to the Alabama game when he got hurt. He played hurt after that and his PFF grade went down. Elam's game grades were really good prior. Disagree. Elam over Gordon for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TJJackson Posted April 27, 2022 Report Share Posted April 27, 2022 2 hours ago, ArmyBengal said: I knew Booth had an injury concern and recall TJ mentioning, but had no idea the extent of his injury history. I'm going to go ahead and pass on Booth at this point. Too much risk for a first round pick. right best abiility is availability dont want to paying r1 pick money to a player sitting in the trainer's room Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stripes Posted April 27, 2022 Report Share Posted April 27, 2022 I think a good comparison for Kaiir Elam might actually be Dre Kirkpatrick. That sounds bad, but I don't intend it as such. I think he might have some similar shortcomings, but he offers a higher ceiling and showed a lot of good things against top-end SEC receivers when he was healthy.

Stripes Posted April 27, 2022 Report Share Posted April 27, 2022 Expanding on that comparison because I am bored: Elam first / Kirkpatrick second (given draft profiles as of 2012 and 2022): Draft year: Junior / Junior Height: 6-1.5" / 6-2" Weight: 191 lbs / 186 lbs Hand size: 8.88" / 9.5" Arms: 30.88" / 30.63" 40 time: 4.39 / 4.50 (4.40 low) Vertical jump: 37.5" / 35" Three-cone: 6.98 / 7.20 Kirkpatrick didn't get many other measurements due to a dinged shoulder. They are remarkably close though. Elam has a decent advantage on the speed/agility metrics. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stripes Posted April 28, 2022 Report Share Posted April 28, 2022 Same top three here, maybe with Karlaftis #1. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A lot of snaps on playoff units. Not putting him in the HOF but it’s not hard to find worse former 1st round CBs. 10+ year career and counting I think.
