From espn's best available list, guys ranked around where we will pick:

28 DeMarvin Leal Texas A&M DE

29 Abraham Lucas Washington State OT

30 Alec Pierce Cincinnati WR

31 Cameron Jurgens Nebraska C

32 Nicholas Petit-Frere Ohio State OT

33 Nik Bonitto Oklahoma OLB

34 Jaquan Brisker Penn State S

FWIW since they went defense last night I expect the offense to get its turn next. I'd guess OL but would not at all rule out WR (aka Boyd's successor).

SI's best available rankings around where we pick:

28. Kingsley Enagbare, edge, South Carolina (SR, 6'4", 258 pounds)

29. Jalen Tolbert, WR, South Alabama (rSR, 6'1", 194 pounds)

30. Tariq Woolen, CB, UTSA (rSR, 6'4", 205 pounds)

31. Nik Bonitto, edge, Oklahoma (rJR, 6'3", 248 pounds)

32. Daniel Faalele, OT, Minnesota (SR, 6'8", 384 pounds)

33. Cameron Thomas, edge, San Diego State (SR, 6'4", 267 pounds)

My guess is defense BPA.   Defense got all the FA $ - offense got 3 years of 1st/2nd picks.

Snaps are instantly there for defensive depth because offense got FA $.

45! 45! 45!

So any of these 11 players would make me happy.

For those wanting to go WR and cover for when Boyd leaves, I've already mentioned Metchie being an optimal pick in that scenario.
He and his agent state he will be ready to go at start of the season, but he would be a luxury for the Bengals in 2022.

I think Leal would make a great 3T, which we need, as I don't see any of the first 5 falling to the Bengals.

Marcus Jones would make me very happy, but realize he might not be the smartest pick.
That being said Hoosier, your soul hit 375k on eBay, but has stagnated.  Maybe we should offer free shipping.
That's going to have to come out of your 20% though.

Woolen is the only one of those that intrigues me, but Zyon McCollum intrigues me more later on.

[ArmyBengal]

Hoping for a big run on QB's at the top of the 2nd as well.
Push players down the board please !!

Yep, I expected that in the first round....there is so many teams with a glaring QB hole that I thought QB would be overdrafted in the first round.  I am hoping that prediction comes true just one round later.  I thought 4 QBs would end up going in rd. 1 with 2 going top ten (Carolina and Atlanta).  I think Carolina, Atlanta, Seattle, Miami, Tennessee, Indy, NY G, New Orleans, NY G are all still in the market for a QB early in this draft.

[ArmyBengal]

The only problem with needing a QB and hoping for a run is that this class sucks and a "run" might be 3-4 players maybe.

Willis
Corral
Howell

Then who ??
I would prefer there be more QB opportunities, but will take what's given.

[Stripes]

Ridder

[ArmyBengal]

Oh yeah, Ridder.
Good, the more, the merry !!

McDickweed?  Is 2nd round too early for him? 

[TJJackson]

Army forgot Ridder

I think he needs to turn in his admin card :-)

[ArmyBengal]

It's probably because I think Ridder is going to bust.

Regarding McDickweed, I think he would be a good value pick at this point.

McDickweed > Ridder

[Stripes]

McDickweed will be available at your local drive-thru when McDonald’s joins the dispensary business.

[ArmyBengal]

YOU TAKE THAT BACK STRIPES !!!

Basically, if you want a QB or one of the top WRs…I’d be on the phone right now. That’s how it sounds.

I have TJ’s dead gramma’s credit card. We can put the shipping on that.

Hope so!

[Stripes]

Logan Hall evaporates in the first pick.

Buttholes shall pucker this evening.

[Stripes]

Metchie goes before Pickens.

[ArmyBengal]

Pickens is a head case by all accounts

[Wraith]

Yeah I think Pickens has been taken off alot of draft boards
