|BlackJesus| Posted April 23 Author Report Share Posted April 23 My puke pic this year = Quinyon Mitchell * Â *(I like Power 5 schools in Rd 1, can't risk it on Toledo MAC level of competition) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
|BlackJesus| Posted April 23 Author Report Share Posted April 23 I will say that this year it was harder to think of a real puker than in years past, which is a good sign that the Bengals are sitting in a nice draft position. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
texbengal Posted April 23 Report Share Posted April 23 Nate Wiggins… talented guy but if they’re gonna go DB and Mitchell or DeJean are there, would prefer either. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sparky151 Posted April 23 Report Share Posted April 23 Anyone who won't be starting in 2024. We've had a couple of disappointing first round picks in 2022 and 2023. Let's not make it 3 years in a row. It's not as if our roster is so bullet proof we have locked in starters at every position.  So a Quinyon Mitchell would be a better pick than a Byron Murphy or Johnny Newton for instance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
soundstreamer Posted April 23 Report Share Posted April 23 A few players I really dont want but my top puke pick would be Brock Bowers.   Second would be any WR. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bowers or Brian Thomas would certainly be starters right off the bat and help the offense. We could address the O-line in round 2 and NT in round 3 or later. So taking a good offensive player should definitely be a possibility. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would not like at either though, I think any stretch pick , like a Barton at 18 would be puke worthy. Any pick that we could have traded back and still got is a puke pick for me. Or any QB lol. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Great outside vertical threat but doesn't have anywhere near enough of a route tree right now imo. So that would mean Chase in the slot nearly all the time. Chase can certainly do it, but I'm not sure I'd want him to do it 80 percent of the time. But Thomas could definitely replace Higgins as an outside receiver in 2025.  There are at least 5 slot or inside/outside WRs who the Bengals could take on Day 2 who could start immediately in Boyd's slot though. I different podcasts both Mike Potts and Steve Radicevic were pretty vague on positions and rounds in the draft...except for WR. They love the WR options in the 2nd and 3rd round. Would be shocked if the Bengals didn't draft a WR with one of those Day Three three picks. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jason Posted April 24 Report Share Posted April 24 I don’t think they will take anyone not worth the pick, so I don’t think I have a puke pick. But if they pass on a quality RT I will not be happy. Protect. The. Franchise. 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they do take Murphy in the first... pipe dream, he won't be there... I would trade #49, #80 and #97 to the highest bidder and take the best O lineman with that pick including Centers and OG's.

|BlackJesus| Posted April 24 Author Report Share Posted April 24 The irony of Wiggins being chosen as a puke pick is he's likely the CB the Bengals prefer, even though most fans (including myself) like DeJean better. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or any QB lol.  We have a pair of good 3Ts with Rankins and Hill. We don't have a good NT at present. The top DTs in this draft (Newton, Murphy, and Fiske) are 3Ts and wouldn't make sense for the Bengals, unless Anarumo plans to change his scheme. We can get a NT in round 3 or later. So D-line shouldn't be on the menu in round 1. I agree the Bengals don't need to trade up or reach for a player. There will be good ones on the board at 18 who can help the team.  19 hours ago, dex said: I like Thomas a lot but I don't think he could start as a slot receiver this season.

Would be shocked if the Bengals didn't draft a WR with one of those Day Three three picks.  We don't know if Thomas can play the slot since he didn't need to in college. But we do need to replace Boyd's snaps as well as prepare for Tee's departure. There are more slot receiver types in this class than top outside receivers. We can get by for a year without drafting a receiver at all. Gesicki, Jones, Irwin, and Iosivas can cover Boyd's snaps. But Tee has missed a lot of time himself, never playing more than 800 snaps in a season. We don't seem to be close to extending Tee and if we are open to trading him, then drafting Thomas would make a lot of sense. Even with all 3 of Chase, Higgins, and Thomas on the roster, we'd be in good shape weapons wise.  19 hours ago, soundstreamer said: Thomas wouldn't be a starter as Jamar and Tee would be ahead of him. Bowers may start but I don't see him as the generational talent a lot people say he will be and is not worth being picked at 18. I think Oline needs tons of help and need at least 2 picks in the first 3 rounds. Need a DT somewhere as well but pickings are slim for a NT. A WR in the 3rd round may not be a bad choice.  Thomas would certainly be the 3rd best WR on the roster and would play ahead of Irwin or Iosivas. Tee wouldn't be good in the slot and Thomas might not thrive there. But Chase certainly can play there a dozen snaps a game.  18 hours ago, claptonrocks said: How do you think Thomas would start right away? I don't see it ..

It would be doubling down on last year's mistake, we we drafted Murphy even though our top 5 DEs were under contract. Unsurprisingly, he didn't play much or have an impact. Let's not be stuck on stupid.   Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alleycat Posted April 24 Report Share Posted April 24 You overlook the value of a dominant, starting OT in this league. First, a competent swing, particularly behind an oft injured player, is a vital need (that isn’t currently on the team). Second, it is ABSOLUTELY worth taking a high upside OT this year EVEN IF he sits and learns and develops behind the staters. The long term value is too great. I’m not loookong to win a Super Bowl. I’m looking for Super Bowls.  I’ll be happy with any player that makes us a better, more complete team (for example, I’m amazed at how seldom people are talking about our LB needs, even in later rounds), but to say OT should not be a major target in this draft (or by the same logic IOL given our situation next year), is a major overstatement.  protect the franchise. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

|BlackJesus| Posted April 24 Author Report Share Posted April 24 Just now, Montana Bengal said: A lineman with short arms?  Short arms are fine at guard or center (preferred), but at OT it's a huge impediment. It's why some of these OT get projected inside.  But this draft also has some of that longest arms in recent memory with Mims and Paul at 36" and Latham at 35". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
