The 4th round still has plenty of good prospects available. After that the pickings get slim partly because of the many comp picks at the end of each round. They could go in several different directions in the 4th. I don't think they go CB though. I think they are happy enough with Burton not to go back to WR so soon either. IOL TE RB LB

Should immediately be WR3, with Irwin, Charlie, and Iosivas as good depth. With Tee on the tag, this still one of the best WR rooms in the League

Completely agree. 1st round talent going into the right WR room with the right QB. I think he starts in the opener.

1.) Mims is going to be the 1st tackle off the bench this year and should be the started next year at right tackle. 2.) Kris Jenkins is going to get a lot of snaps rotating with Hill and Rankins 3.) Burton is going to get a lot of snaps on offense - how often do they go 3 WR sets???? plus he's a capable outside receiver if Higgins or Chase get dinged up and need a break. 4.) Jackson should be a part of all the short yardage / goal line formations

Draft crapshoot day - picks no one has heard of, the injured guys, boom/bust guys, etc.

No need to make it personal. Just stating facts. I'm sure the Stealers got a starter or two from this draft and they were drafting behind us

Once again you are talking out of your ass.

LOL. It's funny because it's true (mostly). Dane Brugler has a 4th round grade on punter Troy Taylor.

^^Are you young or do you just not know much about drafting?

Once again we didn't draft a single starter. One starter from last year's draft. We're not getting impact players from our drafts

Also like Erick all

I’m not inclined to look thru this list of “best available” as it will just lead to frustration when the team keeps passing on players I want…and then see some of them picked by the damned stealers. 🤨 I was less and less enamored with each player we have taken so far…but I also recognize that my evaluation of players is pretty much shaped by what I read in this forum and the articles that some of you have linked (Thank you for that.). As a Purdue guy, I’d be happy if we take the Boilermaker running back…assuming we end up utilizing him the right way. 🧐 …but it’s not a big deal if we don’t draft him. …and fuck the stealers! 🦗

Troy Taylor was Iowa's best/most explosive offensive player, so he'd be a nice get for sure.

Regardless of what happens today, I would like to come out of it with these 3 ... Audric Estime, RB Tory Taylor, P Dallin Holker, TE

Bengals’ Amarius Mims responds to Nick Saban’s comments during NFL draft Chris Roling Sat, Apr 27, 2024, 8:04 AM CDT·2 min read Cincinnati Bengals first-round pick Amarius Mims had his fair share of critics during the 2024 NFL draft before the team made him the 18th overall selection. Nick Saban was a big one of those. Appearing on ABC’s draft coverage, Saban had this to say about Mims after the Bengals made the pick, according to 247Sports’ Mike Rodak: “This guy’s got all the tools — he’s got great size, he’s got great power. … But it makes you wonder, how did the guy only start 8 [games?] Like, in the SEC championship game, he played only the first 15 plays of the game and then he’s out. Takes himself out. I don’t know what he injured, what he hurt, whatever. But you’ve got to be a little bit more consistent in your performance if you’re going to be a great player and a starter in the National Football League.” Saban went on to question whether Mims developed the habits to play against guys who are up to his level of competition after playing at a small high school. The sharp criticism of Mims isn’t exactly uncommon, mostly because Mims had trouble staying on the field at Georgia. Given the quality of his tape when he was on the field, had he played more snaps, he might not have lasted until 18th overall. As for Mims, though, he took the high road, saying that he saw the comments but didn’t want to get into it, according to Laurel Pfahler of the Dayton Daily News: “Like I said, I don’t really know too much. I’ve got a lot of respect for coach Saban, even when he said that. He’s one of the greatest college head coaches. Like I said, it is what it is, but I’m just glad I’m a Cincinnati Bengal.” That’s about as mature of a response as anyone could ask for from a college player on the biggest night of his career to date and, indeed, shows a level of focus that probably appealed to the Bengals in the first place. https://sports.yahoo.com/bengals-amarius-mims-responds-nick-130403227.html

Bengals comfortable with Jermaine Burton draft selection Ben Baby, ESPN Staff WriterApr 27, 2024, 12:34 AM ET CINCINNATI -- Bengals coach Zac Taylor said the team was comfortable with drafting former Alabama wide receiver Jermaine Burton despite off-field concerns. In 2022, Burton was seen on video striking a female fan in the head during a field storming after Alabama's loss at Tennessee. Though Burton was never reprimanded, he came under scrutiny for the incident. Following his selection, Taylor said the team got to know Burton through the pre-draft process and felt "really good about the pick." "We did our research on all these guys that we've talked to and made sure we're aware of every incident they've been a part of," Taylor said. "There's certainly maturity things that come with some of these guys coming out of these colleges. That's one of the things he'll continue to grow with." In his post-draft teleconference with local media, Burton acknowledged the incident, said it was something he had to move past and became a situation he learned from. He noted that in a similar incident shortly after the loss to Tennessee, he was one of the first players in the locker room. "I quickly separated myself and just understand what's more at stake and just don't want to take the opportunity for granted," he said. Burton began at Georgia before he finished the final two years of his four-year college career at Alabama. In his senior season with the Crimson Tide, he led the team in receiving yards (798) and receiving touchdowns (8). He also showed his capability as a big-play threat by averaging 20.5 yards per reception in his final season. Cincinnati believes Burton can play a similar role in a group that features Pro Bowler Ja'Marr Chase and standout veteran Tee Higgins, who was given the franchise tag earlier this offseason. "He's a legitimate 'take the top off [the defense]' deep threat," offensive coordinator Dan Pitcher said. Taylor said that with Burton and former Texas A&M defensive tackle McKinnley Jackson, who was taken later in the third round with the 97th overall pick, the team used combine and top-30 visits in Cincinnati to further evaluate both players. Taylor said the interactions led to their selections Friday. Burton said that in his visits with teams he wanted to emphasize that his emotion stemmed from playing the game. "I express myself a lot through football," he said. "I just want to play and I don't care about anything else. Nothing else matters to me." https://insider.espn.com/nfl/story/_/id/40034004/bengals-comfortable-jermaine-burton-draft-selection

One guys list ...

Let's roll 😎

Would make a better pick than Penix to the Falcons though ... 🐵

Last day ...

Strange, I didn't hear the word crap once, lol.

Those guys are all 3T. This guy is a NT.

They need to give him #3 his college number ...

Waiting to hear about Joe Burrow reaching out to him. Hope he has done so already and it simply has not been reported. Overdue if he has not and in a big way.
