If the Jets are really looking to trade up that could be the best value.
RE: Bengals are interested in Mims and Blacklock - Nate (formerly eliminate08) - 04-24-2020
Think I would rather take Mims over Blacklock. I want this pick seeing more snaps, don't see Blacklock getting many
snaps as a rookie. Mims has his questions but he probably would be good insurance in case AJ or Ross go down again
and he has high upside. Many questions about Mims though, pushes off, has some drop issues at times, doesn't get
much separation, played in a weak conference against weak Corners etc.

I’ll pass on both. Give me Braun, Higgins or Jones. Otherwise I’m trying to trade down. Definitely not gonna get excited about a DT considering we have Geno and Reader. I’d rather have Higgins or Pittman at WR over Mims

I like Braun and shenault, but wouldn't be upset with higgins. I like shenault a little better just because I think he's more physical than Higgins, but I get the injury concerns.

Could you imagine Green, Boyd, Mims and Ross though ?

I can see people not being happy about Blacklock, but the Bengals might view him as a pass rusher who can do so from 3-4 DE or 4-3 DT spot.
I can see the appeal.

It is Baun guys, not Braun lol
But yeah, I like most all of these guys over Mims for the reasons I listed. Higgins has his questions though too, same with Shenault
and his injury history. Robert Hunt is a guy I would be all for who can play Guard or RT.

Yeah, I could see that, I like Epenesa much better for this roll though.

Same here. Mims over Blacklock 10/10 times.
Brett Kollmann says he might be the most well-rounded WR in this draft. Smart. Good route runner. 4.38 speed.
I've been a Baun/Jones guy, but I would be more than happy if Mims is the pick.
LB or Oline in 3.

not if Burrow has no run game and is getting shell shocked on passing downs.
I don't see how they can pass on Jones.

With Mixon leaking out too.. on paper Burrow would have one of the best group of skill position players in the league to work with (as long as we can block them up).
RE: Bengals are interested in Mims and Blacklock - Hammerstripes - 04-24-2020
Didn't they coach Jones at the Senior Bowl? If they pass on him, I'm not too concerned. They got an up close look at him for a week.

Agreed, those are the strengths with Mims. Think any mix of Mims/Robert Hunt/Niang or Josh Jones/Robert Hunt then Claypool.
Then get our Linebacker in the 4th, should be a good one like ADG, Logan Wilson or Justin Strnad there.
RE: Bengals are interested in Mims and Blacklock - The Stars In Stripes - 04-24-2020
I thought ZT said the 2nd round pick would start. Not sure either of these guys would start?
Maybe just getting Mima name out there to see if they get some bites

Yeah, and John Sheeran was down there. I remember him saying at the time that Jones was impressive. I think we ought to go after Jones and Mims. It would mean trading up, but what the hell? YOLO

Right. So, if they pass on Jones, then there's something about him that they don't like for their system. People get caught up in all the media and all the "first round" grades that prospects have. At least if they pass on him it's not because they didn't have the opportunity to fully evaluate him.

We would drop from 33 to 48. Pretty huge. I think I need 48. 68, and 120
RE: Bengals are interested in Mims and Blacklock - CJD - 04-24-2020
Hope both are a smoke screen, personally.
RE: Bengals are interested in Mims and Blacklock - J24 - 04-24-2020
Blacklock tore his Achilles in 2018 so I would stay away from him for that reason alone but his tape his impressive.
