bengaled Posted April 4, 2021 Report Share Posted April 4, 2021 Please try to be open minded when considering this is a deep wide receiver draft and there ARE legitimate, bona fide options other than Jamar Chase. I am not slighting Jamar in any way and would love him, but we just don't have the luxury of affording the "best of the best" this year...too many other, bigger needs.

I almost say Sanu as well but that was strictly based on the pass he threw. Dyami has much better overall foot speed, as well as the quick twitch ability to make short throws into big gainers. He also gets off the line much better, which is a necessity for playing wideout. He's a very legitimate deep threat, Jamie...one of the best in this draft. He just might be a tad better in that part of his game than....OK...wait for it....the heralded Jamar Chase. Yeah, I said it and take ownership of it!

membengal Posted April 4, 2021 Report Share Posted April 4, 2021 Ed, he's literally the ONLY WR that might work at 38 and who will likely still be there. Everyone else in that area is a slot. If we draft Sewell, I am reduced to praying he is still there. Marshall and Bateman gonna be gone round 1 now. At least Brown is an outside guy. But, that's the point. If we take Sewell. the options at WR in 2 are REALLY thin this year for what we need (unlike last year's WR class). The same exercise at o-line yields a LOT more options.

Wouldnt surprise me to see JB target him 130 times or more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

More and More I am talking myself into Pitts based on my logic, and I don't like the idea of taking a TE that high but... I do believe Williams will be the LT for the future I do believe Higgins can be the #1 WR for the future Because TE is a more important position than Right Tackle I think you have to take Pitts And I am not even completely liking that, but it fits the logic.

membengal Posted April 5, 2021 Report Share Posted April 5, 2021 Tyler Boyd is a slot. He is not gonna thrive, at all, on the outside. That would be bad ,drafting a slot and making Tyler move to where he would not be nearly as effective. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BengalFanInTO Posted April 5, 2021 Report Share Posted April 5, 2021 I hope the Bengals grab Racey McMath in the later rounds because his name is Racey McMath. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MichaelWeston Posted April 5, 2021 Report Share Posted April 5, 2021 I doubt he is the BPA in the 2nd round so I would look elsewhere. Probably a pass rusher. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your discrediting his overall talent to pigeonhole him. Hes just a good Receiver.....period Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
membengal Posted April 5, 2021 Report Share Posted April 5, 2021 He doesn’t have the speed to consistently play outside and win and get separation. Period. But he is a sublime slot receiver. You make the team worse by moving him. They won’t move him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snarkster Posted April 5, 2021 Report Share Posted April 5, 2021 People are like, we have two WR's (Higgins & Boyd), who needs the redundancy? A lot of those must still be living in the era of the fullback. These days, most teams start a slot (Boyd) & 2 wides (Higgins & ????). We are talking a starting position here, not special teams chaff. I have no problem with Sewell in General, but I don't get those with hard-ons for him & him alone. There are gonna be many more viable OLine options for our second pick than WR's). Some of them more suited to stating out their career at guard and then moving outside in the future if the powers-that-be decide they want vets (Williams & Reiff) protecting Joe's flanks with younger guys starting their career inside or in reserve. In fact, the only way I'm that gung-ho about Sewell @ 5 is if they install him @LT and move Williams to LG or RT. If you're talking LG, RG &/or RT. I prefer a Rd 2 OL while super-charging the passing game at #5. My real preference would be to drop down to the 7-9 slots, pick up a couple of xtra premium picks and sign either Turner or Warford. I'd be good with OC Hopkins/Price LG Spain RG (Turner/Warford) LT Williams RT Reiff with Adeniji, Johnson and couple of rookie OL's drafted somewhere in Rd's 2-5 learning the ropes. This OLine has too many problems to fix long-term in one off season. Fill hole with solid temp option starters this tear with a couple more longer term fills working their way up at their own pace, the next season, sign Reiff for another year or replace him another FA or draft pick when the cap expands.

If they had signed a high level guard in FA along with Reiff and the draft 2 lineman in the first 3/4 rounds of the draft - all to go along with getting OL coach Pollack - I would say they would have gone a long way to fixing the OL in one season.

membengal Posted April 5, 2021 Report Share Posted April 5, 2021 Quote john sheeran @John__Sheeran · 11m now because i feel like i have to say it, all this doesn't mean sewell wouldn't be a great pick. it just means unless they *really* hit on a non-first round receiver or higgins develops into something amazing, it's still gonna be hard for the offense to be competitive in 2021. John's got a good handle on all of this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So you want to go BPA in the 2nd but not take Chase in the 1st, even though he is BPA? (And I recognize Sewell is a great player) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
