|High School Harry| Posted January 2, 2020 Report Share Posted January 2, 2020 ... the Cincinnati Bengals select ... Pretty much a given Our Bengals take Athens Joe the Bayou Bengal Burrow with the first pick. But if Who's on First, What's on Second? And I Don't Know who's on Third but lets give it a shot, anyway. Why? He's in Left Field. So just for shits and giggles and maybe a break from breaking on another's balls and bashing my hero and ideal, Mike Brown, lets put on our Tom Terrific kitchen funnel thinking caps and come up with some good ol' fart in the wind speculation. Who do the Bengals take in the SECOND round? AND third? Or who would you like to see them take and maybe who realistically even be there. Trade ups welcome. Don't give a darn? Don't care? He's the shortstop. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
membengal Posted January 2, 2020 Report Share Posted January 2, 2020 Supposedly this is a DEEP draft at T (and is definitely deep at WR) - so my preference would be a LB at 33 who has slid from 1st round or, perhaps an interior lineman. Then RT at top of round 3 or 4. Again, that's based on T supposedly being deep this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sparky151 Posted January 2, 2020 Report Share Posted January 2, 2020 It depends on what we're able to get done in free agency. (pause for laughs) Ideally, we've have our starting needs other than QB covered before the draft begins and we could take BPA. That means adding a couple of O-linemen, a couple of LBs, and a starting caliber CB in addition to re-signing Dennard and tagging Green. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
|westside bengal| Posted January 3, 2020 Report Share Posted January 3, 2020 Joe at #1 Probably won't be but if available Tua at #33. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Our LB situation is bad other than Pratt who was a good find. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cricket Posted January 3, 2020 Report Share Posted January 3, 2020 Some player(s) will surprisingly slide out of round one. The Bengals will accept an offer and trade pick #33 for additional picks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This move will remove him from the possibility of taking yet another dinged up player high ... a Jonah Williams ref here. As far as linebackers in this years draft, there was Simmons, probably a top five pick, Moses who is injured, and a steep drop off of a few hit or miss players who will be drafted as reaches out of necessity. Hello, Bengals, and their Shampoo System ... lather, rinse, repeat ... when do you stop the cycle? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree with this, but would really like to see them acquire at least one more pick in the first two rounds so they can address QB, OL & LB and then go BPA for a playmaker at the top of the third.

All they need are “decent LBs” to dramatically improve at the position. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spicoli Posted January 3, 2020 Report Share Posted January 3, 2020 Top of the second round is a fantastic spot to get a really good WR that wasn’t necessarily supposed to be there. Same with the Safeties. I could see this being the year they look to replace Shawn Williams. I don’t see Ross on this team next year so WR definitely makes a lot of sense, IMO. Its a bad year for LB’s, especially with Murray hurt and Moses going back to school. I definitely don’t see them looking at OT early. WR or Safety is where I’d put my money if I were a betting man.

sparky151 Posted January 3, 2020 Report Share Posted January 3, 2020 This year's draft is bad for LBs. So let's sign a couple of good ones in free agency. This year's FA crop is pretty good. If we move on from Glenn and Dalton, we can be 100 mil under the cap. Even more if we move Dre or Hart. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd love for Mikey to sign an impact LB in free agency but he would probably have to overpay just to get someone decent. What are the chances of THAT happening?

whodey365 Posted January 4, 2020 Report Share Posted January 4, 2020 LB class is supposedly weak this draft, No idea where the LB Murray from Oklahoma is projected or if he's even entering the draft but I like him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
