MichaelWeston Posted May 9, 2014 Report Share Posted May 9, 2014 if there's a run on OL, a nice pick for the Bengals would be Stephon Tuitt if he were to fall. 6'6 300lb Dlineman who can play all four positions on the dline who some thought may be a late first round pick.It's guys like that who could be the real surprises where we pick. I didn't even have him on my list because I assumed he would be gone. Would be an interesting guy for sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Le Tigre Posted May 9, 2014 Report Share Posted May 9, 2014 Too much Dalton. No likey Dalton we have. Every QB in this draft is Dalton...or less. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think they need DL that high, but he'd be great value with great versatility. Excellent thought. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scharm Posted May 9, 2014 Report Share Posted May 9, 2014 Just messin around with some best available boards. Magic Numbers Bitonio falling. 23 picks? 5 o-line taken first round before bengals. Assume 1 team doubles down on 0-line (Miami) Brings you to 19. Best available boards at face value Defense - 7 picks. Brings you to 12 Offensive skill - 12 picks. Brings you to 0. Very good chance he will fall or if he's taken another one will fall. Flat assumptions being made. If it doesn't happen because teams double down or trade out and o-line is gobbled up. Opens the door for Qb/RB/DL being best value probably. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Opens the door for Qb/RB/DL being best value probably. Is this your list of who you think will be taken between 33 and 54? If so, that seems like a really high number offensive skill position. Can't see more than 1 or 2 RBs. Same with QB and TE. Should be some WRs but not 7 or 8 of them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zins30 Posted May 9, 2014 Report Share Posted May 9, 2014 Just went to http://fanspeak.com/ontheclock/draft.php And they have the mock draft updated with first round players taken. When it came to our pick Moses, Crighton, Hyde, Borland and all the C's were still there. Lots of WR, DL and a couple QBs went before us. I don't see that happening but clearly there will be good players left. I think we'll have our pick of some quality guys. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clearly some 0-line will be taken. I was flipping back and forth between best available lists. Key point. 5 teams went 0-line before bengals in the first which would require trading out and/or doubling down for a quality prospects for the line to not be there. Rough estimate there are 5 0-line prospects in the top 23 remaining. 1 or 2 should be there at 55. If Bitonio taken it's a wash as another will obviously not be taken. Just a flat view point on if there will be a run or not without trying to guess what teams will do or what the actual team draft boards look like. Fun numbers game just tick them off as they happen and then guess if the position comes up correctly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alleycat Posted May 9, 2014 Report Share Posted May 9, 2014 Tuitt is exactly the kind of guy we take. I also think that if he loses the 20 lbs he put on last year he's a much better player for us. We'd have three power rushers but still no real speed rusher. It'll be interesting. As I look at the team and start thinking about needs, which we seem to do more of after the first, I don't get much further along in figuring out who we might take. Marvin did say yesterday that taking the CB yesterday freed them up later in the draft to pick from areas where there was more depth. Sadly, I think OT doesn't have a whole lot, at least not when you think about LT prospects. I did some looking around last night, and other than Cyrus K., Tiny Richardson is the guy who'd seem most appropriate. Beyond that, there are a lot of guys who could fill in nicely as G prospects. If we don't go for a big RB prospect in the 2nd like Hyde or Hill, I can really see a place for Chris Sims in the 3rd or 4th. He's an amazing receiver, a kind of Darren McFadden light, so I could see Hue being intrigued. I was thinking last night about whether or not we wanted to aggressively try to replace what Andrew Hawkins brought to the team (speedy underneath guy), and I kept found myself thinking another RB who could line up outside would be a more versatile threat. If only Andre Williams could catch, I'd be in love... LB is the one that has me most worried. Sure, we have a bunch of guys, but we could really see an upgrade in both weak and strong, for depth if nothing else. I'm going to have to hope that Taylor Mays and Lamur have recovered from their shoulder injuries, because I think both are ideally suited for the roles the team found for them last year. Still, if an edge rushing SLB is there, it would be hard to pass up. Kyle Van Noy, though he lacks the meanness I want, is very smooth and gives you both superb dropping and rushing skills. But I could just as easily see us taking a dropping Demarcus Lawrence or Jeremiah Attachou, or a Chris Smith a round or two later. IMO this team still needs an edge rush - especially when it's money time - in the worst way. Which is the same reason that I wouldn't mind another penetrating 3 Tech tackle. From what I've seen so far, Still isn't really that guy - and he's just had back surgery. Caraun Reid is one guy that has me excited/intrigued. Kind of an Aaron Donald light.

Bengals1181 Posted May 9, 2014 Report Share Posted May 9, 2014 wonder if the Bengals are hoping to snag Brandon Thomas in the 3rd and let him sit on IR for a year. He can be a franchise left tackle. They also really like Cameron Fleming and Wesley Johnson as far as OT's go. Johnson seems to be like Martin, can maybe play all 5 spots. Fleming is probably a RT or LG only.

We have the 23rd pick and there are more than 23 good players left. No matter who goes off the board before us, we are in great shape to land a really good player.

Zins30 Posted May 9, 2014 Report Share Posted May 9, 2014 @RapSheet: The expectation from the #Texans is that someone will want to move up to 33, but not to take a QB. The thought is a run on D-linemen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The thought is a run on D-linemen. That sounds about right. A surprising number of talented guys still left. Hageman, Tuitt, Nix, Ealy, Crichton, Martin, Jernigan, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alleycat Posted May 9, 2014 Report Share Posted May 9, 2014 wonder if the Bengals are hoping to snag Brandon Thomas in the 3rd and let him sit on IR for a year. He can be a franchise left tackle. Franchise LG at worst. I'd be all for it. You could gamble that he'd last until the 4th, but I think you're right - that if you want him you'll have to take him in 3. Frankly, I think a team with a bunch of extra picks (CLE) will do it, as SF did with Lattimore last year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The PatternMaster Posted May 9, 2014 Report Share Posted May 9, 2014 If Hyde, Martin, or Botoino are available at #55, they will be the pick. I would like to see a DE in the mix, maybe Kareem Martin or Will Clarke. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

snarkster Posted May 9, 2014 Report Share Posted May 9, 2014 Second round wishlist: Carlos Hyde Marcus Martin LaMarcus Joyner Joel Bitonio Kareem Martin Franchise LG at worst. I'd be all for it. You could gamble that he'd last until the 4th, but I think you're right - that if you want him you'll have to take him in 3. Frankly, I think a team with a bunch of extra picks (CLE) will do it, as SF did with Lattimore last year. With the depth the Bengals have I don't have a problem with them taking an injured guy at a bargain pick and "redshirtting" him a year. I'd consider it with CB Aaron Colvin later in the draft as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rcarpenter62 Posted May 9, 2014 Report Share Posted May 9, 2014 Moses would be a steal. I don't know that he can be a left tackle in the league, but he'd be a very good right tackle and probably a good left guard. Agreed... I honestly would not have shed any tears if they picked him in round 1 if things fell differently. I even think he can play LT. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
