New Jersey Bengal Posted March 7, 2018 Report Share Posted March 7, 2018 Really like smith and we know the Bengals like Georgia players and he definitely fills a need Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kochman Posted March 7, 2018 Report Share Posted March 7, 2018 I went Smith, would personally be just as happy with James also. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jason Posted March 7, 2018 Author Report Share Posted March 7, 2018 I chose McGlinchey. I would be happy with any of those guys. But: 1. If they want to emphasize running the ball, he is the best run blocking LT in this draft. 2. While he may not be the best player, and would be a little bit of a reach at 12 I do think he is the biggest upgrade over what we have now of any of the other guys except maybe Smith. (I still have high hopes that Billings takes a big step this year. If he doesn't I'm all for drafting a NT next year.) 3. He fills the biggest need.

|High School Harry| Posted March 7, 2018 Report Share Posted March 7, 2018 I went with Smith although I know he and James will be gone. Would be very pleased with Vea moreso, even, than James. Didn't McGlinchy get eaten alive in a big game near the end of the season? Unless he was injured or ill, scares me a bit. However, I can see the Marvengals going with Orlando Brown because Marvin knew his father or even the second coming of Akili Smith quarterback from Louisville. They are going to have to come up with a strong draft, esp the first few rounds and grab at least one quality free agent or same old, same old.

I could use more free time on Sundays so I won't mind if they overdraft another combine superstar. 2 years in a row with that shit and I'll just watch other teams more than I already do. I mean if they take him at #12 overall BTW, 2nd round would be fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
|schotzee| Posted March 7, 2018 Report Share Posted March 7, 2018 I went with Mac, one of the top at his position and at the most important area of need. Safe solid player for years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
|SF2| Posted March 7, 2018 Report Share Posted March 7, 2018 Went with Vea. I have a feeling we won't be able to keep Atkins after this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vea isn't a 3T though, if we aren't keeping Geno we need to find his replacement and not just another really good tackle that would play next to him. For the record I want Vea if he's there but I want Vea AND Atkins on the field. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Positional scarcity. Isn't a 4-3 DE with the most QB hits and batted passes in the last 5 years scarce too though? Also, only JJ Watt has him beat among ALL NFL DEs in QB hits, not just the 4-3 guys. I honestly think Carlos Dunlap is one of the most underrated players in the NFL even by Bengals fans. He's an 8 or so sacks, couple forced fumbles, always in the QBs face kind of guy year in and year out. Dude deserves more respect than he gets. I really think we need both here for a few more seasons. The defense is immediately much worse without either of them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dunlap is great and I would love to have him back but you are picking stats to show is uniqueness. Dunlap is great, I love him and I want him here but he isn't an elite DE in the league. Atkins is all pro and a potential hall of famer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Atkins is all pro and a potential hall of famer. That uniqueness is one of the things that has made our defense widely considered our team's strength for the past 7 years. Of course I'm picking the stats that show how good he is, I'm specifically trying to show why he's good, ya know? It's not like I'm spinning anything here, the dude has had more QB hits in the last 5 years than anyone not named JJ Watt, that's damn impressive IMO. You (not you specifically, but "you" anyone really) wouldn't guess his name at #2 behind Watt because of how underrated he is. Geno is a potential HOFer, I totally agree. If you held a gun to my head and made me pick 1 over the other I'm going Geno 100% of the time. I'm just saying that I think some people are going to be missing Dunlap more than they realize if he goes elsewhere. He's very, very, very good. He does more for this defense than a lot of people realize. Individual player pass pressures 2017 - Lawrence, Mack, Donald, Ingram, Miller, Dunlap 2016 - Vernon, Graham, Dunlap 2015 - Watt, Dunlap I guess if you don't want to call him elite you don't have to, but I personally don't think you need to be a 15+ sack guy just to get the "elite" title. Getting to the QB consistently and disrupting the pocket is huge in the NFL whether you finish the play or not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snarkster Posted March 9, 2018 Report Share Posted March 9, 2018 I'm good with Edmunds, Vea or James, but if they think McGlinchey can become a Whitt-like 10yr. LT, then I'm not gonna bitch about them "reaching" for him @ #12 (although I wouldn't mind dropping a few spots if it meant getting him AND adding another premium pick).

I just look at the roster and see 2 guys I wouldn't be surprised reached his level and I don't think that's true at DT. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
