The DT Murphy did go off the board at pick 16, who Bengals were set to take per all pre draft talk. With the DT gone they wanted, they went for O Line help that some on here said they should draft. One Bengals veteran tackle is set to be a free agent at end of season. Adding Mims now covers that, plus Mims won't just ride the bench all 2024, he will be forced into action enough. Bengals.com says they have a 49ers size O Line now, so Bengals happy about that.
Zero confidence the Bengals can develop him into a round 1 worthy starter.
Should have traded up for Myrphy. Such a whiff.
The draft has just started. This was only round one. Much more to come. So much offense went in round one, there is still a ton of defense undrafted and a ton of top WR's going into Rounds 2 and 3. The run on QB's helps Bengals with so many defense and WR's and RB's still undrafted. There is good talent on the board because teams needing QB were grabbing round 2 or round 3 QB's in 1, because of the run on QB's early. So there will be Round One type talent at Defense or WR in 2 for Bengals, due to all the QB's taken in round one. That is per ESPN such as Mel Kiper saying some teams were taking round 2 or round 3 QB's in round 1, If so, that leaves round 1 players on the board for Bengals in round 2.
