Best IOL in this draft? - J24 - 01-15-2021
Who are the best IOL in this draft? It will probably be a huge need come late April if the Bengals miss out on Thuney and Sheriff in free agency!
RE: Best IOL in this draft? - bfine32 - 01-15-2021
Trey Smith
RE: Best IOL in this draft? - Synric - 01-15-2021
Rashawn Slater Alijah Vera-Tucker Alex Leatherwood Jackson Carman
Yes alot of those guys could end up at tackle but some of them will slide inside and if the Bengals do run alot of wide zone runs that athleticism will help inside.

I also like Vera-Tucker, Brown, and Smith in that order. Creed would be a nice pick up at Center and maybe Sills. Sills is overlooked I think.

Brown
Vera-Tucker
Smith
My top 3 that could be available around round 2.

Drake Jackson of Kentucky is a very under rated Center.

Agreed but I’m a UK fan so I’m biased.

Smith really worries me as far as his health is concerned. I know he made it through the back end of his career at Tennessee with no further issues, but those blood clots are really worrisome. He's definitely talented, but I wonder if it becomes enough of a red flag that he drops in the draft.
I think there's a few back end of the first round / first part of the second round that have a chance to be top end guys, especially the ones who are currently tackles, but may end up at guard later on in the process. I think Vera-Tucker might be the guy here, but you could argue for several of those guys.

A dude I was keeping an eye on was Chosen Hines from LSU, but apparently he's staying in school.
I like Ben Cleveland and Jackson Carman. I'm of the belief that RGs should be massive and strong, and both fit the bill. Carman is a local kid, too. If he's there in the second and the Bengals have not addressed the line, I'd be surprised if they didn't take him. They love kids from the area like Jordan and Hubbard and seem to put a premium on them. In Carman's case, I'm okay with that.

You are compared a 4th round pick and one miss to the consensus best IOL in this class. Not even close. Wyatt Davis has no weaknesses or question marks like price and mj had.

Wyatt Davis has had injuries already. Not worth a 1st Rd pick. And he'll never be as good as most seem to think. OSU OL going to the pros has been marginal at best for the last several years.

There hasn’t been a osu ol as good as Davis in a long while. He’s had injuries? So what? He was battling a knee injury all year but played through it. He’s the clear cut best guard in this class. He’s a perennial pro bowler out the gate. Like his scouting reports say u are hard pressed to find any holes in his game. He’s a unanimous top 20 talent
