Jason Posted April 4, 2016 Report Share Posted April 4, 2016 I am a member of the FootballsFuture message board. Every year I do a forum by forum mock draft where I ask the fans of each team to make their pick. This is the result of the first 23. So who do you want? Titans - Laremy Tunsil Browns - Jared Goff Chargers - Jalen Ramsey Cowboys - Joey Bosa Jaguars - Myles Jack Ravens - Ronnie Stanley 49ers - DeForest Buckner Eagles - Carson Wentz Bucs - Vernon Hargreaves Giants - Ezekiel Elliot Bears - A'Shawn Robinson Saints - Shaq Lawson Dolphins - Jack Conklin Oakland - Sheldon Rankins Rams - Paxton Lynch Lions - Reggie Ragland Falcons - Leonard Floyd Colts - Shilique Calhoun Bills - Andrew Billings Jets - Noah Spence Redskins - LaQuan Treadwell Texans - Corey ColemanVikings - Josh Doctson Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sparky151 Posted April 4, 2016 Report Share Posted April 4, 2016 I replied over there at more length but given the run right before the Bengals pick in this mock, I'd take Jaylon Smith if his knee looks like it would be healed by 2017. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve4192 Posted April 4, 2016 Report Share Posted April 4, 2016 BPA or trade down, depending on how the Bengals board looks. If they have one of the remaining defensive front seven players ranked significantly above the rest of the pack, they should go ahead and take him. Or if they really like Will Fuller (I don't, but they might disagree) and consider him in the running for BPA, then go ahead and take him. But if they don't like any of the remaining WR and don't see a strong BPA, then they should trade down and get an extra pick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jason Posted April 4, 2016 Author Report Share Posted April 4, 2016 My top 2 guys would be Lee and Fuller (the WR, not the CB). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bengaled Posted April 4, 2016 Report Share Posted April 4, 2016 Darron Lee, Vernon Butler, or trade down.I could see them considering Kevin Dodd here, as well. To me, he's more of a strong side LDE, but the Bengals look for different things out of their DEs, even their weak side DEs, wanting guys that aren't as quick twitched (edge benders) and more in the oversized (play the run first) mode. Kevin Dodd probably checks off all the boxes for them as a weak side guy, I'd imagine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kevin Dodd probably checks off all the boxes for them as a weak side guy, I'd imagine.While I agree with your take, I wonder if the Bengals might be in the market for something different at DE.We have both Dunlap and Michael Johnson under contract for until 2019. The Bengals love both, especially on early downs and both are very good against the run. Seems like it would make sense if they are looking for a #3 DE who can rotate in to try to add a guy who is more of a pure pass rusher. Somebody with speed who can bend the edge. Not sure if they are thinking this way or not, but if so I could see them going away from the 6'6 280 pound body type and getting a 250 pound speed rusher to compliment their top 2.

Jason Posted April 4, 2016 Author Report Share Posted April 4, 2016 My hope DE-wise is that Calhoun is still there at 55, or the small school kid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
happyrid Posted April 4, 2016 Report Share Posted April 4, 2016 My hope DE-wise is that Calhoun is still there at 55, or the small school kid.Yeah, definitely like Calhoun and I think he'd be a different style player who could add something to the rotation. I've seen him go 1st round in some mocks and then also seen him in the 3rd round of other mocks. So who knows where he ends up in the draft. There are at least 20 DL that look pretty good and it seems the deepest position in the draft by far. Mentioned this before, but I'd love to see us add a big-time WR in the first round and then double up on DL on day two. With the DL depth/talent this year, there should be potential difference-makers even in rounds 2 and 3. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JC Posted April 4, 2016 Report Share Posted April 4, 2016 Mackensie Alexander or Darron Lee. Lee learning behind Dansby for a year would reap a lot of benefits. Alexander is going to be a dog in the NFL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stan Posted April 5, 2016 Report Share Posted April 5, 2016 Jaylon Smith.Before his injury,was best player in draft.Kind of like how they got Cedric Ogbuehi last year.Let him sit for a year and get healthy,and you have a future pro-bowl OLB.

With Ogbuehi, it was just a standard ACL tear that 99% of guys come back from just fine and it checked out fine at the combine. Everyone knew he was going to come back 100% within 5-6 months after the draft. Smith has nerve damage which is a completely different deal. He might never come back. And if he does, he's probably never going to be the same player he was prior to the injury. The risk/reward just doesn't make sense in round 1. Same with Marcus Lattimore. Maybe you roll the dice in the mid-rounds and hope he's 80% of what he was within a year or two. But first round? I can't see it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did not realize the injury was that serious.That being the case,i would go with M.Thomas,D.Lee,then Floyd. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
