April 26, 20241 yr comment_1746544 Now, trade Tee Higgens to New England for their 2nd and 5th (or 6th) round pick. Take Jer'Zhan Newton with the 34th pick in the 2nd round and the Best WR available with your 49th pick (Adonai MItchell, Ladd McConkey, Keon Coleman or Ja'Lynn Polk) then the best Cornerback in Round 3 and you've addressed ALL your biggest needs by the 3rd round.
April 26, 20241 yr comment_1746547 With so many defensive players pushed down the board this feels like a defensive 2nd round I want Newton but would be happy with Kool Aid too
April 26, 20241 yr Author comment_1746548 If we go CB I want DeJean, Rakestraw, or Sainristil. If we go DT I want Newton, Maason, Sweat, or Fiske If we go OT again I want Paul If we go C/G I want JPJ or Frazier If we go RB I want Austime If we go TE I want Sinnott.
April 26, 20241 yr comment_1746549 These are Dane Brugler's 2nd/3rd round mocked picks for the Bengals: 49. Kris Jenkins, DT Michigan 80. Ben Sinnott TE Kansas State 97. Bralen Trice, EDGE Washington
April 26, 20241 yr Author comment_1746550 If you gave me the #33 pick I'm taking DeJean, as I would have wanted him at 18 if Mims was gone.
April 26, 20241 yr Author comment_1746551 My no trades mock ... 49. Maason Smith, DT 80. Ben Sinnott, TE 97. Audric Estime, RB
April 26, 20241 yr comment_1746554 Yeah I also like the idea of taking a center with Karas in his final year
April 26, 20241 yr comment_1746556 Oh and if DT, CB, and C are all gone I am not mad about taking a WR. There are a few guys I like still on the board at that spot. We will get a good player in 2 for sure.
April 26, 20241 yr comment_1746559 Trade our 2nd and next years first to move up for Newton. Use round 3 for IOL and a TE or maybe a WR. Grab NG (Sweat?) or 2 on day 3 and rest for roster/developmental players. Make a push for the SB this year.

I've watched enough podcasts to know that Mike Potts and Steve Radicevic love the idea of a Day Two WR. I don't think they even considered a WR at 18. The pick was always going to be a lineman of some sort.

If you tell me one of the top centers is there at our first 3rd round pick, I'm taking him.

Hard to say with any certainty, but many feel that injury concerns are why Newton didn't get drafted in the 1st round. I'm sure the doctors are studying his medical reports carefully.

Also if Kool Aid or DeJean is there I'm taking them too. I'm not locked into WR, but I won't hate it either.

At MOST, I would think 49 and our 4th maybe…depending on how far we need to move up.

I just don't think he makes it out of the top of round 2 and it will take some capital to trade up. Hope I'm wrong.

April 26, 20241 yr comment_1746615 I think we can probably get Sweat at 80, and maybe at 97 or 115. So 49 is sort of a free choice pick. WR, CB, IOL, TE, 3T are all in play. But McKinstry over DeJean for sure. Kool Aid can play outside, while DeJean looks like a free safety or slot corner at the next level and we're well stocked there. JPJ or Frazier or Beebe would be good picks at 49 if we want to finish rebuilding the O-line. Newton would be ok if still on the board, even though we have a decent pair of 3Ts currently. RB or TE and probably WR can wait until rounds 3 and 4.

I suspect Buffalo will start off day 2 with a WR. Not that it means isht, and I'm guessing that a number of these guys will be gone by #49 - but particular guys I like: WR - Wilson, Polk, Franklin Different guys, size and strengths-wise, but all are playmakers who played well in big games. Like Wilson a lot... plays with an edge, attacks the football, and made big plays in big games. IOL - Powers-Johnson, Frazier Both are tone-setters and leaders. Both Cs play with a bulldog mentality. DL - Newton, Fisk, Jenkins None are "NT big" but all make plays both vs. pass and run. In particular, Newton and Fisk get upfield and pressure the QB. LB - Wilson, Cooper, Colson Playmakers. Cooper, in particular, jumps off the screen. He can cover, pressure the QB, run guys down, etc. Fantastic athlete. Would be a handful on STs, too. DB - DeJean, Sanristil, Rakestraw DeJean is hella versatile and can help on STs, too. Good returner. Same for Sanristil - he just has that "it" factor. Really smart player and makes plays in the clutch. Rakestraw is fearless, and plays with an edge. Very physical.
April 26, 20241 yr comment_1746663 I don't see it with Wilson. I get the A22s through Dynasty Nerds and he just seems average and never had big games? I do like Franklin though on second glance. Here is my wish list Johny Newton-Illinois (1) Jackson Powers-Johnson-Oregon (2) Kool-Aid McKinstry-Alabama (2) Ladd McConkey-GA (2) (C) Cooper DeJean-Iowa (2) Adonai Mitchell-Texas Troy Franklin-Oregon Zach Frazier-WVU (2) J'Tavion Sanders-Texas (2) Braden Fiske-FSU (2) Max Melton-Rutgers (2) Cooper Beebe-K St (2) 2C Ennis Rakestraw-Missouri Patrick Paul-Houston (3) C
