membengal Posted March 20, 2021 Report Share Posted March 20, 2021 Dusting off some scenarios on The Draft Network now that we are through the main part of the FA. Hoping they still sign Turner, but we know enough now to see a few things. With Reiff in fold, some pressure off of #5 overall again. Here's first scenario - the round 1 tradedown. Chase and Sewell were taken at 3 and 4 just ahead of the Bengals, so I traded back, first to 8 and then to 12 to amass a bunch of picks and ended up with this: Round 1 Pick 12 overall -- Rashawn Slater, OT/G, Northwestern Round 2 Pick 38 overall -- Landon Dickerson, IOL, Alabama Round 3 Pick 69 overall -- Tommy Togai, IDL, tOSU Round 3 Pick 73 overall (via trade down) -- Dyami Brown, WR, North Carolina Round 3 102 overall (via trade down) --- Ben Cleveland, IOL, Georgia Round 4 Pick 111 overall --- Patrick Jones, Edge, Pitt Round 4 Pick 113 overall (via trade down) --- Israel Mukuamo, CB, South Carolina Round 4 Pick 117 overall (via trade down) --- Janarius Robinson, Edge, Florida State Round 5 Pick 149 overall --- Caden Sterns, S, Texas Round 5 Pick 155 overall (via trade down) --- Anthony Schwartz, WR, Auburn Round 6 Pick 190 overall --- Shi Smith, WR, South Carolina (note: w/ Erickson gone -an opening for back-up slot WR) Round 6 Pick 202 overall --- Ihmir Smith-Marsette, WR, Iowa Round 7 Pick 235 overall -- Tay Gowan, CB, UCF Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
membengal Posted March 20, 2021 Report Share Posted March 20, 2021 Again using Draft Network, here's one where Chase and Sewell were off the board and I turned down a lot of offers to trade back and stayed put with what I deem to be best player available at 5: Round 1 Pick 5 overall --- Kyle Pitts, TE, Florida Round 2 Pick 38 overall --- Liam Eichenberg, T, Notre Dame Round 3 Pick 69 overall --- Jay Tufule, IDL, USC Round 4 Pick 111 overall --- Ben Cleveland, IOL, Georgia Round 5 Pick 149 overall --- Rashad Weaver, Edge, Pitt Round 6 Pick 190 overall --- Josh Imatorbhebhe, WR, Illinois Round 6 Pick 202 overall ---- Ihmir Smith-Marsette, WR, Iowa Round 7 Pick 235 overall --- Marco Wilson, CB, Florida By the way, TDN has the trade for Finley factored in, so the two picks in 6th were nice to play with as opposed to two picks in the 7th. I still don't get why Houston did this, but, awesome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He can be developed for a year, or play guard at first. Without Reiff he needed to be a day 1 starter at tackle. True .. Instead of taking what many to perceive as the next outstanding OT in the league they say we dont need him now at 1.. Unbelievable to me but thats the best thing about this board.. Everyone brings their opinion to the table.. I have my thoughts but I learn from others views.. I learn nothing from my own..😎 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree with this but even more in-context - it's the Bengals, and after the Jake Elliot debacle maybe the Bengals should avoid picking kickers unless they somehow gain like 3 more picks. They can't afford to cut another drafted kicker, especially if they choose to keep the retreads already on the roster (who end up failing like you expected them to in the first place).

Secondly there are metrics guys that would tell you an elite WR has a bigger impact on the game than elite tackle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wont be down if they select Chase or Pitts if Sewell is gone.. The metrics would indicate Miami has greater value in Chase than Sewell especially since they have 2 young tackles in place..

He’s got a TON of talent, just never really put it together at FSU. Could be a steal. We pick so high in the 3rd, I don’t want to reach for him there, but I think in the 4th it’s a steal.

claptonrocks Posted March 21, 2021 Report Share Posted March 21, 2021 Wilson is another one the Bengals should have interest in.. Like his potential to play 3tech or hold up as a NT if need be.. Bengals have a beed for another 3tech Like Pitts his proday is Monday.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gupps Posted March 21, 2021 Report Share Posted March 21, 2021 5 round mock, feel free to point and laugh. Wanted to fix the gutters trenches and didn't do too bad. Had to draft Meinerz cuz you just gotta love the kid (tho from what I've been hearing he might not make it out of the 2nd). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
membengal Posted March 21, 2021 Report Share Posted March 21, 2021 I like it other than the TE. I really hope they don't draft one unless it is Pitts at 5. I've done a bunch otherwise very similar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I still don't get why Houston did this, but, awesome. A seventh is usually worth little more than a practice squad body (if you're luck). One exception could be a PK, which is how I'd spend this year if there's someone they really like (Jose Borregales from The U?). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I honestly hope Chase is gone by the time we pick so Mikey won't be tempted to draft him. IMHO he's a luxury pick we can't afford and hte only reason I took one in round 2 was because I had a spare pick lying around and no one else was available I wanted.
