T-Dub Posted March 18, 2019 Report Share Posted March 18, 2019 1 hour ago, oldschooler said: Identifying the biggest need for all 32 teams Cincinnati Bengals Linebacker. The Bengals sat out the early wave of free-agent linebackers, instead signing middle linebacker Preston Brown to a three-year deal. It appears for now that they're sticking with last year's group of linebackers in Brown, Vontaze Burfict and Nick Vigil. Considering Burfict's lack of availability over the past few years, linebacker still remains a need, and it's likely it's one they could address early in the 2019 draft. -- Katherine Terrell http://www.espn.com/nfl/story/_/id/26289293/identifying-biggest-remaining-need-all-32-nfl-teams At least we have some young guys with potential at LB, even though they're returning from IR or were mysteriously benched. Maybe Price pans out but everyone else other than Boling are replacement-level at best & few of them are healthy, either. There's no one in the pipeline here, our depth chart is more of a post-it note covered in doodles. I refuse to believe there are no OL anywhere in this draft that could help us.

Jason Posted March 18, 2019 Report Share Posted March 18, 2019 Guys I'm certain will not make it to 11: Nick Bosa Quinnen Willaims Josh Allen Kyler Murray Dwayne Haskins Guys I'm 80% certain won't be there: Devin White Ed Oliver Jawaan Taylor 50/50 guys DK Metcalf Rashan Gary So who among the rest interests you and is worth 11?

esjbh2 Posted March 18, 2019 Report Share Posted March 18, 2019 I really hope/pray that one of your 80% guys is still there somehow. I wouldn't mind Devin Bush at LB. I'm not smart enough to know about other people worth the pic at that point...maybe trade down but finding a partner in that scenario can be tough.

Jonah Williams can compete with Bobby Hart or provide depth in case of injury for either LT or RT. Greedy Williams would be a great pick, our secondary needs more talent and getting OBJ in the division doesn't help. Cody Ford: see Jonah Williams Clellin Ferrell or Dexter Lawrence Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spicoli Posted March 18, 2019 Report Share Posted March 18, 2019 I'm a big Clelin Ferrell fan at 11 if we can't get our hands on Devin White, Jawaan Taylor or Ed Oliver. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gotta think there will be a surprise and one (maybe two) of those guys will be around when the Bengals select. If those indeed are the 10 that go before Cincy picks I would mind dealing back a few spots if they can pick up another premium pick. We need talented bodies IMO.

|SF2| Posted March 20, 2019 Report Share Posted March 20, 2019 If White isn't there and the Iowa tight end is, you take him. This team went to the playoffs 5 straight years when Andy had either Gresham, Eifert (healthy) or both. Dalton almost always checks down to the TE when his primary is covered or the defense tells him to. If I had more faith in both Eifert staying healthy and Ross becoming anywhere close to his draft slot (at this point I would take Brandon "stone hands" Lafell circa 2016) I wouldn't make this move. People love to shit on Gresham but his last year here he caught 78% of his targets and had 5tds. When both he and Eifert played together, the offense was much better. We should be picking up an FA LB NOW. There is no excuse not to. Don' t take Bush at 11, he is undersized. Their will be quite a few decent LBs available in 2 or 3 but get one in FA now so we they can concentrate on O lineman. Yeah, I know they just signed 2 TEs in FA so this won't happen. I just happen to be in the same camp at T-Dub. You can't keep paying a guy who is on workman's comp all the time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I only remember the drops & penalties in the playoffs. IIRC he basically lost that 2nd Texans WC game. Dude seemed to lose focus at the worst possible times. Then again, the Great AJ Green has fleebed a few balls that turned into INTs himself. I wonder where that lack of focus/effort comes from...

Le Tigre Posted March 20, 2019 Report Share Posted March 20, 2019 But that malaise is gone for good. Razor-sharp effort and focus will be the norm! Just look at the out-of-the-box fluidity and competence of the F&N coaching staff! This new TE coach...um, well it looks like there is one...will have them all dissecting atoms before you know it.

And the following year he caught 7 of 8 targets for 64 yards including a circus catch for Andy Dalton's ONLY post season TD pass against the Bolts. Eifert was AWOL that game but that certainly could have been an Andy thing. Not saying Gresh was great, just that Dalton's 3 straight TOs in the second half killed us that year. Dissecting atoms is hard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
