T-Dub Posted April 24, 2020 Report Share Posted April 24, 2020 I've said enough about our miserable OL but if theres a better DB, take him instead. Its not like anyone we have is an irreplaceable top talent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
|westside bengal| Posted April 24, 2020 Report Share Posted April 24, 2020 A big question I have is if there is really going to be a football season this year? Players are probably in pretty good shape right now but what if they sit out a year? Who are the workout warriors? Who are the guys that have weight issues and might gain 30 or 40 pounds waiting for the season to start next year? I would be thinking about some of those things.

There's really no difference in the hype between the two when they got here. Palmer was going to win us multiple Super Bowls. And you have no idea if he will quit or not. Nobody thought Palmer would.

WRAPradio Posted April 24, 2020 Author Report Share Posted April 24, 2020 The more I think about this, if we can move back and draft Pittman Jr. (WR) and pick up an extra 3rd somehow that would be ideal. I really want Willie Gay Jr. in the 3rd at LB and we need a WR in the worst way. But Josh Jones would be so hard to pass up on...I'm glad I'm not in charge.

We could've got studs at both positions if we traded the first pick and still end up with a good QB. Anybody with any sense instead of just having a boner for Burrow would've highly considered a trade. I hope I am wrong, but doubt it. This Burrow lovefest is like The Quitter all over again and we all saw how that turned out. For some reason posts like this make me feel even better about the Burrow choice.

You are correct no one knows for sure about any player in any sport if they will be successful at the next level. But I do believe that Joe was the best QB in the draft and if you need a QB then that is who you roll with. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was hoping all of those Edge Rushers would be taken causing someone like Queen or Isiah Wilson to drop. I would trade back. I have heard several times now this morning on the radio that the Bengals were targeting Jordyn Brooks with pick 33, Hawks ruined that plan.

I_C_Deadpeople Posted April 24, 2020 Report Share Posted April 24, 2020 I guess we will see later today if Tobin still has his head up his ass. If we pick another "Sample" there will be a collective sigh and gnashing of teeth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spicoli Posted April 24, 2020 Report Share Posted April 24, 2020 1 hour ago, TeeBengal said: Definitely OT Josh Jones. If the depth chart was released today, it would have Hart on it. That makes me cringe. We have a franchise QB to protect now. Jones is not coming in as a day one starter. He's a developmental player. He would have went much higher if he wasn't. Unfortunately Hart is the likely 2020 starter at RT no matter what OT they might take in R2. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spicoli Posted April 24, 2020 Report Share Posted April 24, 2020 Xavier McKinney is a legit top 20 player, IMO. I don't know how they can pass that up. If they do, I'm hoping for a trade back. If they can't do that and they don't want another S, I'm thinking Baun, Cleveland or Logan Wilson. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you want to rely on what they have to say, go to their beat writer for the Bengals, James Rapien, and get his opinion. It was the only one that I could find that was in list form. Not perfect I know but it's something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This Burrow lovefest is like The Quitter all over again and we all saw how that turned out. Yes, a case could have been made for trading the first pick and then being able to “fix” several position groups...and there were those that DID make that case. The problem is that we don’t really know what Miami offered. Anything that we “heard” was pure speculation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HavePityPlease Posted April 24, 2020 Report Share Posted April 24, 2020 8 minutes ago, I_C_Deadpeople said: Has either of Jones or Cleveland played RT or anyone see any issue with them playing there? I haven't seen that but they both played LT which generally speaking is "harder" than RT (with a right-handed QB) but granted not all players can do both. Also traditionally the RT (with a right-handed QB) is commonly a road-grader type that keeps people out of the QB's vision and perhaps is the more effective run blocker. Between the two guys, Jones looks much more like a mauler/road grader. The thing I liked even more was the tape of Jones playing RG at the Senior Bowl (something we could really use) and he was dominating against good players.

SmoothD Posted April 24, 2020 Report Share Posted April 24, 2020 Count me in as wanting Jones as the pick. I really wanted a WR in the 2nd, but with Jones still being there, I think it's pretty much a no brainer. Williams will probably move to one of the guard spots. Definitely can't move him to RT because he lacks RT size Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kyle Dugger, S, Lenoir-Rhyne (rSR, 6' 1", 217 pounds) I'd take Baun, Cleveland or trade down. Jones with the good news being some of those guys will slide to the top of Round 3. Maybe trade back up into mid Round 2 for a Espenesa, Baun or Chinn. Ohio State's LB Malik Harrison as a third round possibility and I still would like to see Kyle Dugger as a Bengal. Like his versatility. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
