Mayock is the outlier in his love of Peppers. Mayock was also really high on Manziel and Blaine Gabbard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've seen you mention the Dalton/height thing in a couple threads, so just to clarify... Eric Winston is 6'7, Whit is 6'7, Boling is 6'5, Ogbuehi is 6'5, Fisher is 6'6, Collins is 6'5/6'6. Drew Brees has had multiple 6'7 linemen for years and he's even shorter than Andy. A lot of NFL linemen are big dudes and not every QB is 6'5+. I don't know about you, but I don't see Andy, Brees, or any other QB struggling to get the ball over these guys' heads or plunking these guys in the helmets regularly. I feel like you should be more worried about their skillset and less about their height. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I figured the "lol" could be a person laughing at the thought of a football hitting a lineman in the head. Well if anyone out there IS legitimately concerned about height of a lineman, I wouldn't be unless the reasoning is that it seems to affect their stance or punch in a negative way.

I also feel like #9 is going to cause some huge arguments across all Bengals message boards. Guys like Reddick, Ross, Williams, Charlton, Barnett, and even Foster to an extent seem to be either love or hate picks in the top 10. Very strong feelings on both sides for a lot of those guys and not too much in between. i agree w/both of your points.... at #9 there's no clear cut pick...so no matter who we select, many will think it's the wrong pick.... BPA I guess ....& even though the bengals have only drafted 3 WR's in rd 1 since 1968, David Verser, Peter Warrick, & A.J. Green, it could be a WR this yr...also rarely pick RB's or TE's in rd one.....but it just seems to me this year it's going to be one of those 3 positions... imo at that point if O.J. Howard is on the board he'd be my first choice.... 2nd choice, Dalvin Cook 3rd choice Mike Williams.... Rd 2 i'd like a pass rusher but if Mixon is on the board I think he'll be the guy...if the bengals think he'll be there at 41 they will probably pass on Dalvin Cook at 9....we'll see... my 2nd choice in rd is LB Jarrod Davis 3rd choice is DE/OLB Carl Lawson... seems every week I've changed my picks.....but as next Thursday nears it seems things are jelling more....not as fluid..

MichaelWeston Posted April 15, 2017 Report Share Posted April 15, 2017 I now feel knowledgeable enough to post in this thread. 1. Davis-Barnett-Thomas-Adams-Hooker-Allen-Ross-Williams-=Foster-Fournette 2. Ramczyk-Bolles-Lamp-Garcia-Reynolds-Elfein-->First round fallers-guys who I doubt are there but I would be more likely to take in Rd 2 (Cook, Fournette, Robinson, Charlton, Harris, Reddick, Peppers, Cunningham) 3. Logan-Gibson-Stewart-Henderson-Dawkins-Johnson-Walker--> Second round fallers-guys who I doubt are there but I would be more likely to take if around in Rd 3 (Mixon-McCaffrey-Walker) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

|High School Harry| Posted April 20, 2017 Report Share Posted April 20, 2017 Mel Kiper's 3 round draft projection for the Bengals We’re one week away from the start of the 2017 NFL Draft. That means we’ll only have a limited number of mock drafts to put up with, but for now, the latest from ESPN’s Mel Kiper projected the first three rounds for all 32 NFL teams. When it came to the Bengals, Kiper gave them a new name at No. 9 in Temple pass-rusher Haason Reddick. That was followed by Michigan defensive lineman Chris Wormley in Round 2, then USC receiver JuJu Smith-Schuster in Round 3. Cincinnati Bengals Round 1 (9): Haason Reddick, LB, Temple Round 2 (41): Chris Wormley, DT, Michigan Round 3 (73): JuJu Smith-Schuster, WR, USC I could see the Bengals going with a pass-rusher or receiver on Day 1, but I'm going with Reddick, who could play outside or inside in the Bengals' 4-3. A former walk-on, Reddick had a great Senior Bowl week and tremendous combine, and it wouldn't surprise me to see him go in the top 10. Cincinnati brought in Kevin Minter in free agency, so Reddick probably would slot outside. Wormley brings some pass-rushing skills from the interior and had six sacks last season. Smith-Schuster didn't have the senior season I thought he might (70 catches, 10 touchdowns), but he qualifies as a steal here in a deep receiving class. This past season, Reddick finished third in the nation with 22.5 tackles for loss while leading the Owls with 9.5 sacks to go with 65 total tackles and three forced fumbles. Those are great numbers, but playing for a team in the AAC helped lead to Reddick flying under the radar coming into the Scouting Combine in February, but that’s no longer the case.

omgdrdoom Posted April 20, 2017 Report Share Posted April 20, 2017 Lol Kiper's new mock is a joke. Fournette being around at 15, Hooker not taken until Washington at 17, Barnett and Charlton both 28th or later picks, and then Peppers, Reddick, and McCaffrey all in the top 10. I can see some of those happening, but ALL of them? Nah. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jason Posted April 26, 2017 Report Share Posted April 26, 2017 ESPN is doing a live mock with their team reporters. Kat gave us Foster. I like it and it makes sense, I just haven't heard much from the team indicating they would take him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
