Way too early AquaMock 1.0

Solid but unexciting draft.
If the Bengals didn't nail FA, I don't think this would fix the gaps.

NPF is a good choice and I think he's a good fit if he falls to 31/32. I'm seeing him listed in the early 20's now in prospect rankings, so he could go sooner. I think he can be a plug-and-play RT.

Ridgeway kinda reminds me of Peko. He's not going to jump off the stat sheet, but he's well-rounded. Solid pick if a backup, but I don't think fans would be too excited for him if he's the best guy you have to start next to Reader.

I've not heard of Zach Tom. Haven't seen him in any prospect rankings I've looked at recently (or somehow I missed him).
EDIT - Found out why. TDN has him listed as prospect 264, which is UDFA. I don't typically go down that far.

The CB and G taken in Rds 4 and 5 sound like fine depth pieces, but no way would they be ready to start, IMO.
Bengals would have to make sure G and CB starters are properly covered in FA to allow for waiting until Day 3 to address these spots.

I hadn't heard of the TE, but I typically stay away from TEs who don't have much receiving production in college. It usually doesn't translate well to the NFL. Uzomah is kind of a rare exception, finally showing some receiving production in his 4th year.
With that said, I doubt this guy would knock Sample off the roster. Sample still has a year left, so he'll probably remain TE2 with this guy as TE3 as a rookie (or PS).
