Milk's Mock Draft 1.0

[milksheikh]

After the conference championships and us knowing where most of the teams will be drafting, I decided to do a Bengals Mock Draft.


Round 1: Reuben Foster, ILB: Alabama





Foster is a very nice linebacker with incredible tackling and decent coverage of tight-ends and wide receivers. He would be a dream scenario to team up with Burfict to create a tackling and coverage linebacking corps that we need desperately. We suck at covering tight ends and making tackles and miss a lot of tackles, Foster would help a TON!



Round 2: Taco Charlton, DE: Michigan





We need pass rushers and Charlton would be a great addition to the rotation (or a replacement for Michael Johnson), I know some may want to take a DE in the 1st but I feel like this draft is deep at the pass rushing category.



Round 3: Tyler Orlosky, C: WVU





Decent blocker that isn't the most athletic but makes plays by being aggressive and standing his point. We need a replacement for bodine soon and Orlosky could be that.


Round 4: Isaiah Ford, WR: Virginia Tech




Someone who could be our #2 or #3 if we don't resign Brandon LaFell, a bit inconsistent but can make deep plays and has the ability to go up and get it.


Round 5: D'Onta Foreman, RB: Texas





A deep running back class has us somehow getting lucky and getting Foreman who has a great change of direction and can be our RB1 from day one if Gio isn't healed and Hill isn't the guy.


Round 6: Zane Gonzalez, K




Someone who can compete for the Kicker spot and maybe be our starting kicker.



Round 7: Chad Kelly, QB: Ole Miss





Went down in draft rankings due to injury, could see him be a decent addition if we end up trading McCarron.

Love it! I'm with you on waiting until the 2nd for a DE. Don't think there will be any worth the 9th pick, and think there will definitely be 1-2 good ones at our 2nd pick because of the depth. Grabbing a difference maker like Foster then a good value DE in 2 is the way to go imo

Ford and Foreman in 4-5 would be steals but I think they both go 1-2 rounds earlier. I really like Kelly as a development QB. Has all the physical tools, played in a tough conference and at times looks like a star. Inconsistency is my issue with him and that can definitely be worked on while he sits behind andy

Foreman not making it into the 5th unless he runs a 5 second 40 at the combine.

I did this on First-Pick, they had them there so I took the advantage.

That's a no brainer. That would be a good draft.

Yeah, I like how it turned out

Ive been going back and forth on taking a QB, with the impending trade of AJ. Kelly seems likely but could be another hot head like Ryan Mallett.

Id take a serious look at Gunner Kiel in the 7th or as a UDFA. Great prospect who kind of screwed around at UC.

I've been looking at Jerod Evans from VTech recently too, he's got the athletic ability and played decent at VT (I'm a VT fan) for starting for one year. I think he's got potential and just needs to expand on his throwing.
