He's growing on me. He's a talent. And we have a great WR coach, and Joe Burrow.

TJ one of my favorite Bengals ever

Whatever else you want to say about the Bengals under this coaching staff, they go deep into the character aspect. As deep as any team in the NFL. This is not the Marvin Lewis era. They absolutely would not be taking Burton if they weren't sure he was a good dude overall.

Zach does like his team captains

Ok, now I'm horny

I hate Zach Frazier! Fuck the stealers!!!

He’s going to play A and B gap. Think of it more of a rotation of able bodies more than a singular position. Rankins signing signals that big time.

I love Malik Washington. I didn't want to double dip on WRs but I would for him.

Burton will have Chase-Troy Walters-Taylor and Burrow all there. I assume he will be fine. Also I am going to need to call a doctor because this isn't going down for 4 hours after watching this highlight reel.

I don't know if I would say "punched". A Tennessee fan seems to walk in front of him while storming the field and he sticks his arm out and graces her face. Not sure if you could call it a slap etc.

Estime to run with tremendous force in back of this gigantic wall. Get him m inhere.

Joe turned into a locker room favorite as well as the fans. Redemption is a powerful thing

I hate being on call during the draft lol I saw the pick but missed Zach's reaction. I wanted Franklin but this guy was working with TJ? I do like that.

I'm sure with TJ Pony Tail working with him directly they had all the intel they could possibly want. Jeremiah even mentioned that TJ had been working with him on maturity and that it seems to have worked.

He punched a woman in the face. We needed a player who had done that after getting rid of Mixon. I liked his tape but after knowing that and watching some interviews he seems kind of like a d bag....so I took him off. Hope he makes it.

Yes, idk if I've ever seen that reaction from him

ZT went pretty wild after the pick. He just a bit pretty fired up.

And he's a damn good one.

I say just go ahead and take Audric Estime. Team needs a bruising RB.

Jenkins writeup on freaks list . Kris Jenkins, Michigan, defensive tackle The Wolverines defensive line under Jim Harbaugh and strength coach Ben Herbert has been a gold mine for the Freaks List, and Jenkins is next in line. The former three-star recruit, the son of former NFL star Kris Jenkins, arrived in Ann Arbor at 257 pounds, and he played last season in the mid-280s. He made 54 tackles, 3.5 TFLs and had 20 QB pressures. According to PFF, he led all defensive linemen in the country in run stops. But people inside the Michigan program think he’s now ready to take a huge step forward as an impact guy. He’s up to 307 pounds and is more powerful and explosive than ever. He did 32 reps of 225 on the bench and did 760 pounds on the combo twist. Only last year’s top Freak, Mazi Smith, some 30 pounds heavier, did more slinging around 800 pounds. ADVERTISEMENT Jenkins recently did a Turkish get-up with a 170-pound dumbbell — the heaviest Herbert has ever witnessed. Jenkins does pull-ups with a 100-pound weight strapped to his waist. He also moves incredibly well for being a 300-plus pounder, running a 7.16 3-cone, a 4.33 shuttle, broad-jumping 9-8 and vertical-jumping 34 inches. Jenkins’ shuttle and 3-cone times are both almost two-tenths of a second faster than the quickest interior defensive lineman did at this year’s NFL combine. His broad jump would be tied for the best. His vertical jump would be second-best, and only Smith topped his number on the bench press. “He’s the mutant of all mutants,” Harbaugh tells The Athletic. “He just keeps going and going. He’s No. 1 in our KPIs (Key Performance Indicators). He’s over 300. He’s the poster child for enthusiasm unknown to mankind. Watch him become a top-10 pick.”

Cincinnati Bengals: Kris Jenkins, DT, Michigan – A Grade The Bengals wanted T’Vondre Sweat, but Sweat being chosen ahead of schedule is a blessing in disguise because this is a better player. Kris Jenkins could have easily snuck into the end of the first round, so this is a great value pick that fills a big need

The Bengals were horrible against the run last season. Jenkins is the best run stuffer of all the 3Ts drafted in the 2nd round.

Son of an All Pro DT? Love it. I really liked his dad as a player.

Jenkins

TMI

I won't need viagra if A Mitchell makes it to 49.

a 4.6 CB? No thank you Kiewan.

After pure euphoria yesterday with the Mims pick ... today was never going to live up as a repeat. I warmed up to the Jenkins pick pretty quickly, even though I preferred the DT that went 2 picks before him. I think Burton has very high potential to either be a huge steal and top 5 WR from the class, or a complete head case. The NT pick I get as a need, but would have preferred Estime there. Quick Grades by Rd Rd 1 A++ Rd 2 B+ Rd 3 B- Hopefully this isn't a trend and we get a RB, TE, CB, G/C, and starting P tomorrow.

Good night all.

This took me a sec to digest lol

Incredible player. Supposedly a huge shithead. Very surprised they pulled the trigger. might have had 0 drops last year?

Wilson to Wilson...Incomplete.😎

Troy Franklin-Oregon J'Tavion Sanders-Texas (2) Malik Washington-Va (3) KR Cade Stover-OSU (3) C ST Jared Wiley-TCU (3) Tanor Bortolini-Wisconsin (3) V Beaux Limmer-Arkansas (3) V

Stover? TE Estime? RB Last pick in 3

I don't know all the details of his actions but yeah character concerns a bit but if TJ signed off on him let's give the kid a chance at redemption .

17. JERMAINE BURTON | Alabama 6002 | 196 lbs. | 4SR Calabasas, Calif. (Calabasas) 6/28/2001 (age 22.83) #3 BACKGROUND: Jermaine Burton, who has an older sister (Sienna Borho), grew up in the Atlanta area. He started playing football at the youth level and later trained with Terrence Edwards, the former Georgia receiving great. After attending middle school in Marietta, Ga., Burton enrolled at Hapeville Charter High School outside of Atlanta in 2016 and created recruiting buzz as a freshman. For his sophomore season, he transferred to football powerhouse IMG Academy in Bradenton, Fla., where he was teammates with several future NFL players (CB Greg Newsome, Edge Nolan Smith and OT Evan Neal). He finished 2017 with 14 catches for 332 yards and three touchdowns. Feeling homesick, Burton returned to the Atlanta area in the spring of 2018 and enrolled at Marietta Hi gh School. However, he was deemed ineligible under Georgia high school rules, and he was forced to examine out-of-state options. Along with his mother (Sheri) and sister, Burton moved to Southern California prior to the 2018 season to enroll at Calabasas High School. He joined a wide receiver depth chart that included highly recruited receivers Johnny Wilson and Mycah Pittman (and he was coached by former NFL receiver Curtis Conway). Burton accounted for 40 catches for a team-best 863 yards (21.6 average) and 14 touchdowns as a junior. He earned All-Area honors and helped Calabasas to a 10-win season in 2018. After initially announcing that he would transfer back to IMG as a senior, Burton ultimately returned to Calabasas for his final season. A four-star recruit, Burton was the No. 15 wide receiver in the 2020 recruiting class and the No. 9 recruit in California (two spots ahead of Wilson). During his freshman year in February 2017, Florida became the first program to offer him a scholarship, followed by Auburn, Georgia and Alabama. After his sophomore season, Burton committed to Miami in December 2017, but he decommitted six months later. He was named the wide receiver MVP of The Op ening Atlanta Regional in the spring of 2018 and had a final six of Alabama, Georgia, LSU, Miami, Tennessee and UCLA. Towards the end of his junior year in April 2019, he committed to LSU. However, Bulldogs head coach Kirby Smart continued to recruit him, and the opportunity to play close to home led to Burton fl ipping to Georgia on signing day (his mother and sister relocated back to Georgia after his commitment). He was the No. 6 recruit in Smart’s 2020 class. After two seasons in Athens, Burton elected to transfer to Alabama for the chance to play with QB Bryce Young. (Burton: “I was just trying to make the best decision I can for me and my family.”) He accepted his invitation to the 2024 Senior Bowl but was unable to participate because of injury.

WEAKNESSES: Slender body type with lean muscle tone … physical defensive backs can reroute him and get him off his track … unenthused as a blocker, and his middling functional strength is evident … late to key coverages and needs more disciplined rhythm as a route runner … didn’t return kicks/punts or play on specialteams coverages in college … battled through a foot injury in October 2023 and missed one game as a sophomore because of a groin injury (October 2021) … picked up a reputation as an undisciplined player (swung at a female Tennessee fan during a postgame field-storming celebration, unsportsmanlike penalty vs. Texas A&M in 2023), and NFL scouts say he had “up and down moments” with the coaching staffs at both Georgia and Alabama … attended six different schools over the last eight years … never reached 800 yards receiving in a season. SUMMARY: A two-year starter at Alabama, Burton lined up as the Z receiver in former offensive coordinator Tommy Rees’ run-heavy scheme. After two seasons at Georgia, he transferred to Tuscaloosa and led the Tide in receiving yards in 2022 and 2023, finishing as one of just seven FBS players to average more than 20.0 yards per catch in 2023. Grading only on his play speed and raw flashes, Burton has early-round talent, because of his silky body control to track the ball cleanly at all three levels and snatchthe ball outside his frame. However, his ability didn’t consistently equate to on-field production (only five career 100-yard receiving performances), and his undisciplined tendencies will be a turn off for some teams. Overall, Burton underperformed in college and still has maturing to do, but he has NFL -level athleticism and ball skills, which make him worth the gamble on draft weekend. He will be a better pro than college player — if he stays football-focused. GRADE: 3rd-4th Round (No. 100 overall)

Wish list in no paticular order. Franklin Zinter Estime Edit: Cam Hart is also intriguing to eliminate TEs.

I wouldn't rule out Jalen McMillan. He was in for a Top 30 visit...like Mims and Jenkins.

😞

Damn it I wanted him

I knew that. I think someone posted a video about it a while back.

They have a NT that doesn't budge though I wanted this kid .

I want either a DT or IOL

I've heard/read that JPJ has had some concussion issues that may scare teams. Also, that he's got a quirky (my word) personality that may rub some teams the wrong way. Dunno.

I don't think we are going to get our WR in the 2nd.
