WelshBengal Posted April 26 Report Posted April 26 Browns traded up and took Shedeur Sanders 5th round now that is a draft drop of epic proportions. Quote
ArmyBengal Posted April 26 Report Posted April 26 Ok if they want another DE, I like Swinson from LSU. DT Peebles.S Jaylen Reed. DE Baron. CB Strong. CB Burke. S Crawford. Well forget Swinson Quote
HoosierCat Posted April 26 Author Report Posted April 26 Lmao perfect. When it comes to QB drama the clowns just can’t help themselves. Let the chaos begin! Quote
HoosierCat Posted April 26 Author Report Posted April 26 Zierlein: A burly offensive lineman with natural anchor and above-average length, Rivers is best-suited for short spaces, where his athletic limitations can be mitigated. He could get a shot at right tackle but slow feet will put him in harm’s way against NFL edge rushers. He’s sturdy at the point against bull-rushers and space-eaters. He works with stiff hips and below-average base footwork, which often short-circuit attempts to leverage and clear the gaps. He’s a clunky mover who will be tied to scheme, but his mass and length increase his likelihood of finding starting reps on the interior, provided he can stay healthy. Quote
ArmyBengal Posted April 26 Report Posted April 26 Why do I waste my time leading up to this moment when I know they are going to just sit back and let the draft happen to them? Imagine you are Joe Burrow and you want to learn more about the guy protecting you and you read things like… Non athletic Slow feet Stiff hips Below average base footwork Clunky mover Hell yeah, put him in coach.

TJJackson Posted April 26 Report Posted April 26 sux #5 run blocker rather than a pass blocker, also Quote
ArmyBengal Posted May 9 Report Posted May 9 Seriously, who the fuck is this guy? He's the one pick that baffles me the most. Quote
HoosierCat Posted May 9 Author Report Posted May 9 Essentially Cody Ford’s replacement, or at least that’s the plan, I think. Quote
HoosierCat Posted May 28 Author Report Posted May 28 Requsite Hobson puff piece on Rivers is out. https://www.bengals.com/news/bengals-draft-pick-jalen-rivers-acting-like-a-multi-year-veteran One worthwhile tidbit buried near the end: Quote But his size, ability to learn how to upgrade his run game to match his pass pro, and his college experience of in-game rotation between guard and tackle also has them thinking he can eventually play both guards and both tackles. Right now, Peters has him at left tackle. "We like to major guys in one spot so they start to build the toolbox," Peters says. "It's a little easier for them to learn and then replicate those moves on the opposite side after they've learned one spot. Quote
ArmyBengal Posted Wednesday at 02:16 PM Report Posted Wednesday at 02:16 PM While not knowing a damn thing about this guy coming in, if he represents some solid depth on the o-line, I won't be complaining. It's that time of the year when those types of articles come out, so I'm taking the grain of salt approach. Quote
AMPHAR Posted Wednesday at 02:59 PM Report Posted Wednesday at 02:59 PM He's a long armed dragon. Bengals have drafted plenty of Great Highschool lineman 4/5 star, power 5 starters under Tobin. They always sign Free Agents or draft over them about year 3 or 4. Nothing much to say until one hits the starting line up and plays well enough for a 2nd contract. Quote
