|BlackJesus| Posted March 26, 2017 Author Report Share Posted March 26, 2017 Mayock has Hooker as the third best Safety. You don't draft the 3rd best safety at #9. Btw, he has Peppers #1. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

omgdrdoom Posted March 27, 2017 Report Share Posted March 27, 2017 Of course you don't take the 3rd best safety at 9. That's exactly why we won't be taking Peppers or anyone not named Adams or Hooker. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then maycocks an idiot.... A whole lot of nfl execs have said hes a third round talent at best. Maycocks just on the hype train.

happyrid Posted March 27, 2017 Report Share Posted March 27, 2017 To get mostly back on topic, I'd like to come out of the first two rounds with a DE and a RB or WR. So the two realistic draft scenarios I like best are: 1. Derek Barnett 2. WR Chris Godwin/RB Dalvin Cook/RB Joe Mixon or 1. John Ross/Corey Davis/Mike Williams/Leonard Fournette 2. JJ Watt/Derek Rivers/Carl Lawson Leaning slightly towards scenario 2 with O in first and D in second because I like the depth of the DE class and don't think there's a huge difference between Barnett and some of the guys who seem to be in that 35-45 range. Also, all things being equal, I'd like to avoid the drama of drafting Mixon and the risk of drafting a bad character guy like Cook, so give me the impact offensive guy in round 1. I think the other factor in favor of Offense at 9 and defense at 41 is that the Bengals have talked non-stop about getting faster on both sides of the ball this offseason. That 2nd scenario is your "speed boost." Especially with Ross at 9 and Watt or Rivers (who both ran in the 4.6s) in the 2nd. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jamie_B Posted March 27, 2017 Report Share Posted March 27, 2017 In no particular order. Round 1 top 3 choices, (since I don't think Hooker will be there) - Barnett, Foster, and Mike Williams (though I wouldn't be disappointed in Ross) Round 2 top 3 choices - Pat Elflin, Takkarist McKinley, Garett Bolles Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like option 2, but all things equal people will say im obsessed but gotta have demarcus walker rated above watt imo.had most production out of any defensive end in draft last 2 years. problem is if we go wr, we have so many options we could go in round 2. Wr, de, rb, c, legitimate positions of need.Sent from my 2PYB2 using Go-Bengals.com mobile app Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

akiliMVP Posted March 29, 2017 Report Share Posted March 29, 2017 D'Onta Foreman tore up his pro day. Ran a 4.45 at 233 lbs. Reportedly looked really good in the drills.

spicoli Posted March 29, 2017 Report Share Posted March 29, 2017 I've always looked at Foreman as a mid-round pick.....after the show he put on, you think it's possible he gets into the 2nd round? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not sure what to think if the bengals take a RB in the 2nd round....we already have Gio and Jeremy Hill, sure they may not be all-pro's at their position, but we invested 2nd round picks on them and I just feel like we need to address other areas of the football team that have more glaring holes, like our O-line. We've also shown we can draft RB talent later in the draft, and if this draft is as loaded with RB talent as most are suggesting, why not wait and take a flyer on a guy in the 4th-6th round.

They've been scouting RBs a lot it seems. Hill is a free agent after this year and has been on a steady decline since a solid rookie year. Think they are ready to move on.

Yeah, which makes you wonder why the hell they didn't try to keep Rex Burkhead? Could have probably retained him for the same exact contract as a 2nd round pick.

PatternMaster Posted March 29, 2017 Report Share Posted March 29, 2017 If Fournette is there at #9 I would hope they would consider drafting him, hell Dalvin Cook as well. Both guys would be upgrades and able to provide an immediate impact to this offense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Being that their are no OL considered to be top 10 prospects, but 2 RB's could be and 1 definitely is considered I wouldn't be shocked if they drafted either Fournette or Cook at #9. Both guys would be an upgrade and and allow Hill to walk after the season is over. 8 minutes ago, Jpoore said: Looks like he will be ready to start week 2.

spicoli Posted March 29, 2017 Report Share Posted March 29, 2017 there's something about a 6'7 Center that just does NOT appeal to me in the slightest. I'd be much more comfortable with Pat Elflein if we're taking a C I just have visions of Dalton throwing the ball right into the back of the guys helmet lol.
