Cam Smith at 60 would be sweet. RB Israel Abanikand at 92…ehhh…I seem to hate all the RBs left. Just go get Zeke or Fournette for a year and try again in 24.

My priorities for pick 60, in order

1) passblocking ORT

2) 3 down TE

3) speeddemon outside man/process corner. 

for me, that third choice is a very distant third, and anythign other than these three will be (for me) a disappointment at best

I'd much much MUCH rather have Apple sign a 2-3 year STFU contract

OT Blake Freeland seems like he'd be a stick at 302 lbs given his 6'8" height

what I am reading says he'd only work in certain schemes

not clear if one of those schemes is our OL scheme

 

 

It is 100% NOT. Hard pass on him.

Here's my general wishlist for 60 -

 

---TE - LaPorta, Musgrave, Kraft, Washington (assuming no injury flags from the Bengals on him) (assuming here that Mayer will go quick)

---CB - Cam Smith, Brents, Ringo, Rush, Turner...I guess Phillips altho not really as high on him (assuming that Porter goes quick)

---DT type - Benton, Dexter (would rush to the podium for Benton) (assuming the northwestern guy goes quick)

---T - Bergeron, D. Jones (would run people over for Bergeron at 60)

---RB - eh - Miller, Achane, Charbonnet (would almost prefer 4th round or later now for that crew)

---IOL - Mauch, Avila

---WR - wouldn't kick a Mingo or Dell or Hyatt to the curb

 

I think that is my general wish list.

danke.  I didnt honestly know. 

How about Volsen's former teammate, Mauch?

I like him more but everything is pointing to him having to move inside. Bergeron, the T from Syracuse, has best chance to hold at T. He doesn't have a ton of years of experience (came out of Canada to Syracuse) and has a lot of room for positive growth by all accounts.

What's not to like about the 1st round leftovers ??  It's like cold pizza after a rough night of drinking this year !!
I honestly would have no issue with a trade up to get the player they really want.

Any of these TE's still left over (Mayer, Musgrave, Washington, LaPorta, Kraft)
Joey Porter Jr., Tyrique Stevenson, Ringo or Dax Hill's Michigan running mate DJ Turner at CB wouldn't bother me.
RT Dawand Jones for the RT spot, OT Bergeron from Syracuse, OG's Torrence and Avila are all in play.
Hell, even LB Trenton Simpson from Clemson is a fun prospect to consider. (Not that I want him over others)

Headed down to the Bengals draft party tonight.  Will let you know how that goes !!
WHODEY !!!

Tony Pauline is useless. Jags just drafted Anton Harrison last night and Jets don't have cap. Pauline who tried to give us Trey McBride in 1st last year and Bergeron last night is...not great at this when it comes to Bengals info.
