Fixing the Bengals in one draft

[ArmyBengal]

There are a few names out there of OT's that I could see being viewed as OG's come draft time.
Conerly isn't one of those tackles, but whatever I guess.  I would rather an OG or OT capable of moving inside before a straight up OT.

So realistic 3 spots open.   There's 4 guys on the roster that are no names right now.   So I think you'll get some additions before the draft.   I think.

I like Orlando Brown, but want to see him be more dominant on the left side of things.  I think Mims was about as good as you can hope for from a rookie.
Karras is getting older and in my opinion we don't have a single OG worth a rat's ass.  All backups at best in my opinion.
I would rather start a guy like Scherff and then start a high pick rookie.  Just me.

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

I hope so because ours suck

They should at least be getting an idea of what guys like Risner want. 

If they want 15M, I can see the hesitation

If they want 3M plus all the gatorade they can drink, they need to get to talkin

The Bengals hosted Jack Sawyer (edge, Ohio State).

I knew they'd take interest in him. He kind of checks every Bengals box -- high-pedigree school, just won the championship, good size

I am not an OSU fan. I think college football sucks balls. Normally, I roll my eyes at people begging for the OSU-Bengals pipeline, but I am on-board this time. I think he's been underrated by mock drafters. I hope he's there in the second round, and if he is I think they take him (barring an edge in round one instead).

I love college football and watch a ton of it. I’m a huge Buckeyes fan but I’m realistic when it comes to those guys becoming Bengals. 

While the Buckeyes won the National Championship, there aren’t many I’d be thrilled seeing the Bengals draft. I love Jack Sawyer and he had one of the best plays against the Longhorns in the playoff game. However, I think he’s a bit overrated in the 2nd and 3rd rounds. I just don’t think he’s consistent enough.

That being said, I would love to continue rooting for him. That being said, I love Judkins as a RB and think they have some underrated and late round guys like safety Lathan Ranson and linebacker Cody Simon respectively.

Donovan Jackson as an OG wouldn’t bother me either if he were still there in the 2nd.

Jack Sawyer is throwing out the first pitch at the Guardians home opener on Tuesday.  Winning a national championship at Ohio State gets you a lot in this state.

I think he will be gone in late r1

I'd take him if we could trade down in the mid to late 20s and pick up a 3
