A Player Bengals "Must" Have - psychdoctor - 04-21-2021

Outside of round 1 in the 2021 NFL draft, what player (pick only one) do you feel the Bengals "must" have?

I keep going back and forth on a few players on this. Wondering your thoughts.

If I had to say one Osa Odighiuzwa DT from UCLA. He reminds me of Michael Bennett from the legion of boom Seahawks. A guy that made his living from rushing inside on passing downs and stuffing the run on Edge.

Anywhere from late 2nd to early 4th.  PFF has him as the 93rd guy on the board.

I'm not up enough on the draft this year beyond Chase, Sewell and Pitts, but I would love to have:

Trey Smith


RE: A Player Bengals "Must" Have - SunsetBengal - 04-21-2021

I'm torn between Trey Smith the bulldozing OG, provided his personal medical professionals assure him that he's safe to be playing football, and Daviyon Nixon the DT from Iowa.

I feel like Smith would provide impressive returns quicker, but Nixon, who might need a year or two to grow into the NFL game, might have All-Pro potential.


RE: A Player Bengals "Must" Have - ElkValleyBengal - 04-21-2021

Assuming he's there in round 2 and the Bengals are okay with him medically, Landon Dickerson would get my vote- regardless who is taken in round 1.

Smith is not getting a lot of love lately.  I know he had issues with blood clots but I thought he was cleared.

I am leaning towards Green (G). I think he hits a ton, is underrated, and I think he would eventually replace Hopkins at Center. It is said that Green has some of the strongest hands in the group.

If he falls, he could be that "steal" of the 4th round that the Bengals used to find.

Bengals picking players with medicals doesn't seem to favor the Bengals.  I think Dickerson is probably the 2nd or 3rd best OL player if medicals were not an issue.  I know he is doing cartwheels and stuff, I just don't know.

I don’t really have any must haves. Which is kind of odd. There is usually someone I really really want.

This year it is pretty much the hometown homer in me. If Jackson Carman is there in the 3rd we better bring the Cincinnati kid home. In the later rounds Tommy Kraemer is well worth a dice roll for interior OL depth and once again bringing the Cincinnati boy home.

The UC boys are really tempting. Hudson and Wiggins. And if they were picked any time after the 2nd for Hudson or after the 4th for Wiggins round I wouldn’t mind it.

There are a lot of Buckeyes I wouldn’t mind having. But none more than Tommy Togiai. Brute strength undersized DT might fall to our DL magic round. In the 4th I’m seeing if we have a Geno replacement.

If Gregory Rousseau falls to our 2nd round pick he is a no brainer pick IMO. Kills two birds with one stone. DE depth and interior pass rush depth. Calais Campbell level potential.

I really want Ben Cleveland if he’s there in the 3rd. I know he supposedly doesn’t fit our scheme that well, but I would love to have a big old bully like that at RG.


RE: A Player Bengals "Must" Have - BFritz21 - 04-22-2021

I obviously think that we "must" address the offensive line, but give me Anthony Schwartz out of Auburn.

Dude ran a 4.26! He's developing the other parts of his game and I think he's going to be special. Bad QB play kept him from making a lot of noise to get noticed.

I'd also like us to take Terrence Marshall in the second if we don't take Chase in the first because, like Chase, he has a connection with Burrow and I think he's underrated because Chase got all the spotlight.

Payton Turner, DE, Houston


RE: A Player Bengals "Must" Have - phil413 - 04-22-2021

Tough to answer as it will depend mostly on who is taken in the 1st. If they go OL in the 1st, Terrace Marshall Jr. is the clear cut "must" guy for me. The elephant in the room is Burrow is bigger than the Bengals right now. This is theoretical, but passing on one of his plug and play targets TWICE in the same draft could become an issue. They should have improved the OL long term to enable themselves to take advantage of either Chase or Marshall, but we're here. Maybe Burrow says all the right things and maybe this is no issue at all, all he wants is the team to improve, stop being paranoid, yada yada, but Marshall Jr is still a great pick in the 2nd, so much so that I'd consider dealing a 4th or 5th to move up a few to secure him. If Chase is the pick then they must get a quality OL at some point.


RE: A Player Bengals "Must" Have - Goalpost - 04-22-2021

it doesn't fit into our immediate needs but I like the two Georgia corners, Stokes or Campbell. Jevon Holland has great versatility. Trill Williams is an interesting prospect. Would be nice to squeeze in a 'must have' in the secondary.


RE: A Player Bengals "Must" Have - Schmitbuck - 04-22-2021

I'm not sure I have a guy but Milton Williams ends up in a lot of my mocks. I remember a similar thread last year with my pick being Isaiah Wilson so this may be the 'kiss of death' for poor Milton.


RE: A Player Bengals "Must" Have - BURROWorBUST - 04-22-2021

If we draft Sewell in 1, then Boogie Basham in 2
If we draft Chase in 1, then Sam Cosmi in 2
I either case, Kendrick Green in 3

Michael Carter RB, NC to replace Gio. Probably have to take him in the 3rd. People’s heads will explode.
