#10 Arvell Reese is a possibility more and more.

How so?

I think one (but only one) of Bain/Styles/Downs will be available at pick 10.

I'll guess the most likely in order will be Downs-Bain-Styles.

Crippling reality. For a DE. The idea of turning him into a 3-Tech, though...? Very interesting. He's a Tasmanian devil, whirling dervish, wrecking machine. 6-7 NFL OT's who are also athletic and have 36 inch arms will play pinball with him all day on the edge, but inside....?

I guess he's never faced someone with long arms in college. Too bad all his consistent success will amount to nothing as soon as those OTs have their new NFL Arms ™️ installed after the draft.

His film is fantastic but the data says he’s a very low percentage bet. It’ll be interesting to see where he ends up.

Lucky for him none of those opponents on the film knew how short his arms are.. 🥷

Better him than Jeremiyah Love.

I’m very curious to see where they both end up.

I'd guess both are gone before 10

Id say love definitely top 5

Bain top 15

Love, yes. Truly have no idea about Bain though…too many variables.

Those short arms really stymied him in Arlington

Didn't watch that game but see a sack and TFL in the box score along with a few tackles & assists, so maybe you dropped this -> 🥷

Or maybe not, IDK, but Geno Atkins has a 32" wingspan, just over an inch longer & frankly I think this is all combine bullshit/smokescreen. Dude can play. From what I saw he's getting into the body of much longer OL & dogwalking them with superior leverage. Quick understanding of how they're trying to block the play & disrupting it, even when he's not in for the tackle.. Broke all this down before but my opinion hasn't changed.

Love is my WTF🤮 pick. Not unless they're going to completely rework the offense from empty backfields & being 25/75 run-pass. Take some pressure off Joe so he can throw a normal number of passes & win with 30 points, more of a Rams w/Marshall Faulk system? I don't hate that idea but IDFK. Zac's gonna do all that? They need another RB like they need more "consensus".

FFS, no one is saying he can’t be great, all anyone is saying is that the data over the last 20 years absolutely does not favor him.

Do with it what you will.

No no, I do get it.. Like I'd be happier with him at 15 or so than 10 but it does seem kinda silly

Draft him as a 3T.

Won't be sorry .

Yes..

Wherever he lands he'll contribute...

Just a beastly grinder.

Wish Kris Jenkins was that way instead of a 9- 5' player .

No motivation in him so far

A change this year for the better in him would be huge

I'd hoped - there's that word again - that they'd head into the draft without any obvious, glaring needs. Still too many holes at DL & LB.

The BPA may very well be an OT at 10 but instead of giving themselves the option they extend OBumJr without even lowering his $21M cap hit. We'll just keep pretending he's not playing out of position and struggling, in the Land of Make-Believe where they're all just crushing it.

Hard to make any sense of that from a 27-year veteran NFL exec.. unless the goal is spending the least amount of real money allowed 🤷‍♂️ The rest of the NFL are trying to fit as much talent possible under the cap & here's the Bengals, working to do just the opposite. Not unexpected but it's still disappointing when combined with their usual Happytalk bullshit. Quit lying at least, damn.

No ninja. He was constantly beating the tackle—inside/outside. The pressure also opened up the lanes for the rest of the DL. One monster game..without the stats perhaps? Dunno.

What does he translate to at the next level? Dunno that either. The Geno look is curious—but dunno that…from someone who wasn’t primarily a DT.

He might just be a “disruptor”…however that name is already taken by last year’s #1 pick on this team. Dunno.
