Tank for Tua!

I'm probably insane but I'm not high on Tua at all.

Has anybody ever thought to ask who Wisconsin’s o-line coach is?

But it bothers me that these guys are so obviously just drafting by need and not even close to BPA. Those two lines intersected in Rd. 1 and they diverged recklessly thereafter.

Oh, you thought I was serious when I said I just found out Pratt was a former DB. My bad.

Drafting for need is the way to go in the first couple rounds.Now BPA is the way to go.

Not me. 

Why in the world would i be happy with a blocking TE before the 4th round? 

If the Bengals had never taken him and someone else did in the 3rd 4th or 5th, how many Bengals fans would go "damn, there goes our blocking TE!"

No one, because no one here even knew who he was before the pick!

Now, how many Bengals fans have gone, "damn, there goes X! (a player from a different position that was projected to, even only possibly, be a starter)? Uh, a lot. 

Can anyone name for me the last blocking TE that was taken in the 2nd round. 

Anyone? Bueller? Bueller?

Not sure 4.57 is going to keep up with the faster TEs and most RB.

Kuechly runs a 4.59, anything in 4.5 is fine for LB.

Anyone got a good site that is quick with their live picks?

From the Hart signing.  To the team drafting a replacement to Hart. To Hart being good enough to possibly switch to Guard. To Sample being a valuable pick. etc.

Obviously, when you don't win a playoff game in 28 years...not every move you make is great and largely the same braintrust is in charge.

There's a pretty big difference between saying "let's wait and see" and "that was a good decision". That won't stop anyone from decrying it as the "worst pick ever", though.

You seem to misread things a lot. You always interpret "this isn't what you think it is" as "this is the best thing ever".

But hey, glad you're back, we had to go like 2 weeks straight without someone bringing up the whole no playoff win in 28 years thing.

Yeah...anything less than 'Great pick' and the homers are upset.

We could have drafted a Punter in the 2nd Round and some people would rave about it.

At least the Browns took a guy with a fun name.

What type of 40 times do the faster TEs and most RBs post?

For the life of me, i can't figure out why ANYONE would argue for a blocking TE that might turn out to be a decent pass catcher when they could probably get one that's already been through an NFL season or two on another roster, with the multitude of picks they have. Or, since they reached for this one, why not make your scouts earn their money and find that unknown guy from a smaller school?

It just makes zero sense to argue for the pick in the 2nd round. 


RE: ***Official 2019 NFL Draft Discussion Thread*** - BonnieBengal - 04-26-2019

Draft grades same night are ridiculous. Nobody knows how the draft will turn out. Geno Atkins was a 4th rounder. The whole thing is a crap shoot.
