|BlackJesus| Posted February 20 Report Share Posted February 20 Continuing on Cooper DeJean, he might have the most impressive highlight reel of a CB I have ever seen at any level ... He catches like a WR, runs like a RB, and seems to glide down the field. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unless they solve the RT position before the draft I'd rather go Fuaga or one of the other OTs.. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jamie_B Posted February 20 Report Share Posted February 20 CB is my Dark horse. If they fix RT in FA, and fix DT, and Bowers or a WR they like isnt there. I'm ok with it. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

|BlackJesus| Posted February 21 Report Share Posted February 21 Caleb Williams will join this list soon ... Personally, I think JJ McCarthy (1a) & Michael Penix (1b) will be the best pros from this class. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sparky151 Posted February 21 Report Share Posted February 21 Not a fan of McCarthy or Penix as NFL starters. Williams might be great. Daniels too. I'd take them ahead of Maye. If a team is only looking for someone better than Stidham or Ridder or Mac Jones, then Bo Nix might do that job. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I appreciate that this highlight package showed a collection of him on contain, so many of these just show INTs and PRs/whatever. He looks like the complete package, I'd be very happy if we ended up with him. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sparky151 Posted February 21 Report Share Posted February 21 This is a pretty good CB class. I don't think it's a first round need for us. Depending on what we get in free agency, a first round tackle plus 3rd round CB is probably a better combo for us than first round CB plus 3rd round RT. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
|BlackJesus| Posted February 21 Report Share Posted February 21 ^ Cooper DeJean could also play FS ... Then move Battle to SS ... And Dax to CB ... Since I think Dax's best position is really Nickelback, but Hilton is there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
I_C_Deadpeople Posted February 21 Report Share Posted February 21 Walter Football has a new Big Board - they have Mims at 6 overall and Latham at 9 - those are the two top tackles (ahead of all the LT’s). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm surprised. As Joe Alt to me is the best OT by far. In fact, he would be #2 on my overall big board, after only Marvin Harrison Jr. If he fell past #10 you have to trade whatever is necessary to get up to take him. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

T-Dub Posted February 22 Report Share Posted February 22 I'd like to see them do some Redeeming on a RT looking to either earn a long-term contract or a vet trying to get a ring in the next couple of years before they hang it up. Then draft their replacement just like this new guy doesn't exist. What I suspect we'll get is wait to see who falls to them in the draft, then sign some leftover JAG RT to back them up & hope the rookie keeps them off the field. 3rd option, they ignore the position in the draft again & roll with another 2nd-string FA who they'll talk up all off season before smoothly transitioning to "not as bad as people think" mode. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He looks like the complete package, I'd be very happy if we ended up with him. Have seen him play a number of times. He’s tremendous. Versatile, hella fast, smart. Playmaker. I think he’d be a great center fielder or a corner. Really good PR too. Kinda reminds me of Harrison Smith. I guess it depends on what happens in FA but he’d be a great chess piece and Dax could play slot or get moved around some, too. Funny, in those highlights he made plays against both Charlie Jones and Chase Brown… as well as JSN. 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

-GoBengals- Posted February 22 Report Share Posted February 22 tanking is such a rare occurrence, even though we did it for burrow, we did it without harming anyone we were keeping, the team needed to flip a ton of guys. so it made sense to just toss in young guys. but this team isnt that, tanking for a few draft spots, a 6-11 record, almost forces you to fire coaches for fan perspective, players who got benched are hurt with incentives and free agency, and as others said less people want to go to a team that was shit. truly tanking is for the worst 4-5 teams in the league desperate for a crumb of hope to save the franchise, regardless of who catches the downfall. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
texbengal Posted February 22 Report Share Posted February 22 13 hours ago, BlackJesus said: Mims doesn't make their top 5 OTs I'm not really surprised... Mims really hasn't played a lot. In contrast, the other guys all have been multi-year starters, so there's more to evaluate. Not saying Mims won't be great - time will tell - but he's more of a projection, and given his relative inexperience, more of a "project."

I_C_Deadpeople Posted February 22 Report Share Posted February 22 I think if for some reason Bowers fell to 18, the Bengals would literally wet themselves. they would take about 5 seconds to say “the pick is in” Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think he would win ROY and have like 12 TDs and commentators wound say: "How did 17 teams let him reach the Bengals to be paired with Chase and Higgins." It reminds me of when Randy Moss went with pick #21 or Justin Jefferson with pick #22. Sometimes productive offensive firepower slides in favor of big edge or line guys with "potential", who don't do jack shit in the league.

|BlackJesus| Posted February 22 Report Share Posted February 22 My BJ's Dozen (Top 12 players in the Entire Draft) 1. Marvin Harrison Jr., WR 2. Joe Alt, OT 3. Malik Nabers, WR 4. Brock Bowers, TE 5. Rome Odunze, WR 6. Byron Murphy, DT 7. Olumuyiwa Fashanu, OT 8. Jared Verse, DE 9. Cooper DeJean, DB 10. Jackson Powers-Johnson, IOL 11. Ennis Rakestraw, CB 12. JJ McCarthy, QB * What's nice is that the run on QBs means the Bengals will likely have a chance to get one of these guys. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
