Randle P McMurphy Posted April 5, 2018 Report Share Posted April 5, 2018 Admittedly, I haven't done a whole lot of research on players but here it is anyways. Fire away! Round 1 - Center - James Daniels - Iowa https://www.nfl.com/prospects/james-daniels?id=32462018-0002-5600-48e1-4044bbc76ad1 Reason for pick: Pretty obvious we need a Center. I would have considered Billy Price here but the site had him listed as a "Guard" and I didn't notice it until afterwards. He went in the 2nd round to the Redskins. Round 2 - OT - Orlando Brown - Oklamoma https://www.nfl.com/prospects/orlando-brown?id=32462018-0002-5598-966e-c097dcfe7190 Reason for pick: We need all the OL help we can get! He didn't have the best combine obviously but he's got things that can NOT be taught. Size, (6' 5" 345 lbs & 35 inch arms). Could more than likely plug him in at RT from day 1. Round 3 - TE - Hayden Hurst - South Carolina https://www.nfl.com/prospects/hayden-hurst?id=32462018-0002-5600-72f9-7623b6673aa8 Reason for pick: If I recall correctly, all 3 TE's will be FA's following the 2018 season. He'll be 25 at the start of the 2018 NFL season so he won't grow any more physically probably BUT he's not reached his "potential" as a TE yet. He was drafted by the Pittsburgh Pirates out of high school in 2012 and walked on at South Carolina in 2015 so he obviously is athletic. Had 100 receptions at South Carolina and only 1 dropped pass. (How many times have we, as Bengals fans, lost our shit over dropped passes!?) lol Round 3 - CB - Duke Dawson - Florida https://www.nfl.com/prospects/duke-dawson?id=32462018-0002-5600-21da-5c2f1a37df8f Reason for pick: Dawson will probably be a "nickel/slot" CB. Dennard will be a FA following the 2018 season. Possible replacement for Dennard unless he, (Dennard), just blows up this season and even then, he'll come a lot cheaper.

akiliMVP Posted April 5, 2018 Report Share Posted April 5, 2018 I can dig Daniels at 21. Not a huge fan of Brown because he's either incredibly lazy or the least athletic person in combine history. He has decent tape though and would be an upgrade at RT. Hurst is a borderline first round pick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dennard will be a FA following the 2018 season. Possible replacement for Dennard unless he, (Dennard), just blows up this season and even then, he'll come a lot cheaper. Not a fan of Daniels at all. He's very bad. We would be drafting another ogbuehi if we draft him. He can't handle the bull rush and has no ability to reachor. Would rather take Hernandez or bpa in the first and Frank rangow in the second who is the second best center in the draft. And as far as brown, my opinion hasn't changed. 4th round grade before the combine, 4th round grade now. Dude can't handle speed rushers bc he has horrible footwork and is lazt. Got 100 pounds on dlineman and it's him who gets pushed back at line of scrimmage.as far as Hurst? He's the 4th best te in this class after goedert, gesecki, and fumagali. Tied with andrews. Only reason Andrews isn't better is because of his injury issues. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hurst is a borderline first round pick. I haven't done a lot of research and the site I did the draft on had Billy Price listed as a "Guard". I probably would have selected Price over Daniels myself but I didn't see him listed under "Center". I later found this thing on NFL.com that graded each player at each position. Take it with a grain of salt like anything else it's just one person's opinion and I couldn't tell you who compiled the list but here's the site. They have Daniels graded at 6.00, Price at 5.90 and Ragnow at 5.75. https://www.nfl.com/draft/tracker/prospects/C?college=allColleges&page=1&status=ALL They have Brown rated at 6.12 which makes him the highest rated OT in this draft class. As for the TE's, that site has Gesicki rated at 5.92, Hurst at 5.88, Goedert at 5.87 and Thomas at 5.82. Not much separating the top 4. Hurst was available with our first 3rd round pick so I jumped on him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That TE you mention, (Fumagalli), is rated #14 on that site I posted. Like I said though, take it with a grain of salt. I have no clue to be honest.
