And even if he manages to be decent this year he’s only here for 2020, not beyond. Then who steps into that role, John Ross?? I know everyone wants OL and LB but it’s pretty naive to think that the need at WR isn’t right there with them. Definitely need a WR in the first 3 rds IMO, you put your chips an a QB#1 you protect him and give him options. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I believe it comes down to LB WR OL at 2 and 3... Which combo who knows... Definate priorities to strengthen the team.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jupiter Fan Posted March 15, 2020 Report Share Posted March 15, 2020 yep and OK with top picks at each positions in those rounds. This should be an easy draft if we don't get stupid with what falls to us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its like having a late pick in each round to build on.. Be smart with it! . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
claptonrocks Posted March 17, 2020 Author Report Share Posted March 17, 2020 Howdoes this starting oline sound? LT......Jonah Williams LG......Michael Jordan C.........Trey Hopkins RG.......Andrew Whitworth RT........(R) Isaiah Wilson ..2nd round pick sound? Whit has slipped protecting outside but hed be brawler inside. Couldkeep John Miller as protection at guard spots.. FredJohnson protecting. tackles .. Price and Hart gone to put on Whits maybe 2 yr deal.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sparky151 Posted March 17, 2020 Report Share Posted March 17, 2020 They'll keep Price for 2 more years. He's on his rookie deal and not expensive for a backup C/G. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I loked Price at OSU...I thought he had all in intagibles to be a good lineman except one thing......31 inch arms...You have to be extremely quick outta the gate to beat your man to the initial punch.. Sooo veing he had foot problems makes his play bad..really bad.. He and Jordan gave up 55 pressues and 9 sacks last yr at LG... Let him Go...

Maybe Miller back at RG and still draft a very promising RT in Wilson.. Need another good backup guard in this scenario.. Theyll probably sign Redmond on the cheap for that spot..

BengalFanInTO Posted March 18, 2020 Report Share Posted March 18, 2020 I'm wondering if a stop gap RT or RG may be in the cards. A Jason Peters, Whitworth or Demar Dotson type. Kelvin Beachum and Daryl Williams appear to be two of the better slightly longer term upgrades even though they aren't overly exciting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jackie Treehorn Posted March 18, 2020 Report Share Posted March 18, 2020 John Miller Cut https://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2020/03/18/bengals-cutting-guard-john-miller/ Sounds like we're going to have a new RG and LT at the very least next year. Curious how they fill the spot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't get me wrong, I like the moves so far, but, like the signings, it seems out of character for us - which is a great thing. Seems to me that once we signed guys, we'd hold onto them through thick and thin. Maybe we are changing course. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm really hoping these signings work out because last time the Bengals stepped out like this they got burned and it took us this long to seem them try it again.

sparky151 Posted March 18, 2020 Report Share Posted March 18, 2020 I thought Miller was certainly upgradeable but for most of the year he was better than our LGs. They must have his replacement lined up already. Maybe a trade? Gabe Jackson perhaps? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sparky151 Posted March 18, 2020 Report Share Posted March 18, 2020 Thuney was tagged so he's getting 15 mil. I'd be ok with trading for Thuney if we sign him to a long term deal in the 11-12 mil per year range, ie top guard money. But it's hard to see Mike Brown paying 15 mil for a guard. Jackson costs over 9 mil so even that might be a stretch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
