New Jersey Bengal Posted April 28, 2017 Report Share Posted April 28, 2017 Who do you guys want to see us draft tomorrow night?I am hoping for Kamara and the DE from Villanova Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
happyrid Posted April 28, 2017 Report Share Posted April 28, 2017 Here's my top 10 options for #41: Cam Robinson Forrest Lamp Joe Mixon Dalvin Cook Malik McDowell Carl Lawson Derek Rivers Jordan Willis Alvin Kamara ZachCunningham I think after going offense in round 1, that one of the four pass rushers (McDowell, Lawson, Rivers or Willis) probably makes the most sense. Then again, I could easily see Lamp or Robinson as need meeting BPA for the OL. There was a reported "Big 4" on the OL coming into the draft and these are the last two left from that group. And Mixon, Cook and Kamara are each super explosive RBs who could add even more juice to the offense. Again, there was considered to be a top 5 at RB that had separated from the pack and these 3 still remain from that group. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
happyrid Posted April 28, 2017 Report Share Posted April 28, 2017 Projecting all the way out to the 3rd round is tough because you don't really have any idea who might fall and who might be drafted earlier than expected. But I'd look at the same 3 positions (OL, RB, DE) and add LB into the mix as well. Some possible names: OL Taylor Moton Pat Elflein Dan Feeney Ethan Pocic RB Kareem Hunt Samaje Perine D'Onta Foreman DE Terrell Basham Tanoh Kpassagnon Daeshon Hall LB Raekwon McMIllan Tyus Bowser Ryan Anderson Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Inigo Montoya Posted April 28, 2017 Report Share Posted April 28, 2017 I feel pretty confident in my prediction that Mixon will be our pick at #41. We actually might have our choice between him and Dalvin Cook. As it stands right now, I think the Packers and Jets are the only teams picking before us who could consider taking a RB. The Jags and Panthers took one in the first round and the rest of the teams have starters already in place (Lacy, Gurley, Howard, and Gordon). Add it all up and Mixon should be there if we want him, which all signs point to being the case. The 3rd round is harder to forecast but right now my thinking would DE or OL. There should be good value there. I am hoping Basham or Feeney falls that far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

omgdrdoom Posted April 28, 2017 Report Share Posted April 28, 2017 As cool as it would be to pick up a guy like Dalvin Cook or Joe Mixon because of their ability and the fact that Jeremy Hill has sucked lately, can we get some gawd dang O-LINE help?!?!?!?! No? Oh okay, skill positions it is! You get a skill position and you get a skill position, EVERYBODY GETS A SKILL POSITION ON OFFENSE!!! /too lazy to make the meme and post it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BBR Posted April 28, 2017 Report Share Posted April 28, 2017 As much as I'd like it to be Mixon, I'm kinda hoping it's Malik McDowell. At right around 6'6" 295 he fits all of the physical characteristics the Bengals want. Able to line up outside and drop inside too is also a big plus. Bad senior year possibly due to minor nagging injuries and being used wrong sounds like someone else on the defensive line already. The only question mark is the supposed bad attitude (entitled, lazy) and lousy interviews at the combine. If one of Zach Cunningham or Alex Anzalone drops to the 3rd round pick, they'd be interesting picks too. Especially with Minter's one year deal.

If one of Zach Cunningham or Alex Anzalone drops to the 3rd round pick, they'd be interesting picks too. Especially with Minter's one year deal. If McDowell is there, he is going to be the toughest decision for the Bengals. By all accounts, he's a top-5 type of player as a pure talent. He could be a Carlos Dunlap type guy. But he also sounds like a horrible teammate. Here's an article on him. What does everyone think? Quote “The type of player who could make your draft or break your heart. Could be the best defensive lineman in the draft if he stays focused and works hard.” The late Joel Buchsbaum, the first and perhaps still the best of the draftniks, wrote that about Albert Haynesworth 15 years ago when the defensive tackle was coming out of the University of Tennessee. Certainly those words would apply this year to Malik McDowell, the versatile defensive lineman from Michigan State, and edge rusher Tim Williams of Alabama. “Taking character out of the equation, McDowell should be the second pick in the draft,” an executive in personnel for an AFC team said. “If anybody tells you differently, they’re playing possum. “If Williams was a great kid he could get in the first round. He’s in the top five as a pass rusher in this draft.” McDowell isn’t expected to be a strong consideration for teams until the middle of the first round because of his stunning laziness last season, both in games and practice. Williams ranks as a total wild card in the draft because of his admitted failed drug tests, overall attitude and poor training habits. Defensive line has always been a crapshoot. McDowell and Williams join so many others through the years as quintessential boom or bust prospects. Of 16 personnel people asked by the Journal Sentinel to identify the leading defensive lineman with the best chance to fail, McDowell drew half the votes (eight) and Williams was second with four. Caleb Brantley was named by a pair of scouts while two players projected as linebackers by 3-4 teams, Derek Barnett and Takk McKinley, each had one mention. Before visiting East Lansing last season, one evaluator studied McDowell off 2015 tape and was excited to watch live what he thought he would be the top defensive lineman in the draft. What he saw was McDowell disappearing in games by early October and showing up late and then lollygagging at practice. He still isn’t quite sure why McDowell never showed a lack of effort in 2015 and then quit playing hard in 2016. A once-promising season for the Spartans turned into a 3-9 debacle. The talented player in the No. 4 jersey declared a year early after contributing merely 34 tackles and 1 ½ sacks in his season shortened to nine games by an ankle injury. “Worst interview in our room at the combine,” one NFL personnel man said. “Completely sucked the life out of the room. He’s everything that’s wrong with the modern athlete. “Been entitled his whole life. Not a worker. Doesn’t practice. Asks to be taken out of games all the time. Rolls his ankle and you’d think he had three compound fractures the way that he reacts. It’s hard enough with guys that aren’t (expletive).” As poorly as McDowell played and handled himself at the combine, he might slide to the second round. “This guy is an undisciplined and indifferent kind of a player,” said an evaluator from an NFC team. “He’s so gifted but he’s kind of his own man. You’d have to have a coach that could relate to him, that he trusted. If you did the guy could be as good as these other guys.” Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
