    Any offensive lineman chosen in the 4th round or later is nothing more than a project.  Few become starters.  And offensive linemen who are FAs are usually old, not good or have baggage.  Most teams will do almost anything to keep a good offensive lineman. 
     

    Not defending Pollack, just saying this team has been woefully negligent in making lineman a priority in the draft recently.  It may be the after effect of having drafted Ogbuehi, Billy Price and Jake Fisher high in the draft.  

    This team has always seems to feel that for LT and RT you need a high pick but the IOL can be 'picked up anywhere', not true of course, but they have never valued the IOL so they rarely drfated for value at these spots. Given we have zero depth of any value and the starting 5 are either older or young and quaestionable, I want to see 2 picks in the top 4 plus another later dedicated to the spot.

    The Bears sent everyone to the Michigan pro day likely because they fear JJ McCarthy will be a better QB than Caleb, (which I predict he will be). 

     

    Their problem though is that if they take Harrison #1, JJ is likely gone by #9 when they pick again. 

    If Caleb fails there will be mass suicides in Chicago....have to say, I watched a few USC games this year just becuse he was the suppossed #1 pick and I thought 'meh' a lot, but what do i know,

    I'm hoping either Fuaga or Latham are there at 18.  If not, one of the 3Techs may well be there.  There also may be a couple of surprise CB's &/or WR's sitting there.  I'm seeing Bowers there at times too.  I jump on him if the top RT's are all gone.

     

    Round Two.  I really like Sweat as one of the few NT's in the draft.  Many have 49 as too soon for him, but I don't see him being there at 80.  I'd go ahead and pull the trigger.

     

    As far as round three?  I could see a double dip at OL (IOL) or DT (3Tech).  I'd consider either Jackson-Powers-Johnson or Kris Jenkins if still available at 80 then start going BPA (with some regard for need if it's close).  I could see one of a trio of Longhorns (TE Ja'Tavion Sanders, WR Adonai Mitchell or RB Jonathan Brooks) at 97.

    JPJ will absolutely not be there at 80 let alone 49. He is the highest ranked center and well above #2 (much like Bowers is seens as well above the other TE's). The next center Zach Frazier, however, may be there.

    They are doing a mock draft on NFL Network (Have Bengals selecting JC Latham).  
     

    For the Dolphins at 21 they have them selecting Graham Barton…as a center (has been playing LT at Duke) and said that he can play ANY position on the offensive line.  I wonder now that we have signed Trent Brown at RT if Barton’s versatility might make him more attractive to the Bengals.  
     

    Thoughts?

    Possible, Barton and Fautanu are seen as the high level guys who can essentially play all spots on the OL. One wonders though if you pick a guy like that at 18 or go more for a specific position elite talent. Could trade down a few spots and pick Barton as well.

    Any thoughts on the kid from BYU that is related to Penei Sewell...Kingsley Abunchofvowels...or something like that.

     

    These Nigerian and  Polynesian players' last names have got me like...

    I will just pipe in and say several sites have noted that given his athletic absolute he does not seem to have a full drive for football. The vowel guy from Yale does however.

    I'm sure he wants more money than Becton, but with the increase in the cap and Jonah's salary coming off the books that shouldn't have been a factor.

     

    The Bengals should be trying to get the absolute best 5 players they can get to play offensive line, not who the mediocre at best offensive line coach has a relationship with...seriously, what are they doing???

    And not just the best 5, we need some usefull depth. The Fords and Cartmans of the world are not exactly bench strength

    I wouldn't even trade him to Baltimore for their 1st Rd pick.  As it's never a good idea to make a division rival better. 

     

    The only way I would even consider trading him to the Ravens would be for like 3 first Rd picks. Something that might cripple their future regardless of how good he was. 

    I would tell them "all your picks in 2024 and 2025", otherwise f*ck off.

    The Bengals absolutely will not reach to fill a need. That is guaranteed. 

    Agreed. That is the only guarantee of the drfat. Oh wait, other than we will not select at QB anywhere near the top....2 guarantees. Amongst the gaurantees are.....nobody expects the Spanish Inquisition...
