When Zac came in, many Marvin era picks were removed from the team ASAP. The result was Super Bowl and AFC Championship back to back years, with Burrow playing injured start of last year and out most of end of season. I can't complain about the picks in Zac era with team winning play-off games.
Bengals probably would have taken the DT of Murphy but he was off the board. So was TE- Bowers. So Bengals took an OT, which they will need because a veteran OT is a free agent at end of this season. Round One was just the start. A record run on QB's in round one, helps the Bengals in round 2. ESPN and Mel Kiper said some of these QB's were not round 1 talent. That means there should be round 1 talent on the board for Bengals in round 2. Bengals are set to have a great round 2 and round 3. They have grabbed an OT, so I'm thinking Defense and WR coming since so much talent at both still on the boards. Bengals will get a round 1 talent on Defense or WR in round 2 thanks to the record run on QB's.
Some media say Bengals will trade Higgins for a round 2. Others say no. We will see tonight. They will not trade him for a 3, that they can get in a comp pick at seasons end, per media sources. Trade or no trade, Bengals are in for adding good talent Day 2 of the draft.
ZT AND Marvin have had some absolute hot trash OLinemen come through the doors on draft day.
Mims, to me, is actually a huge swung of the pendulum from what they normally were going for. This is why I'm eager to see how the line develops as a unit with some real massive dudes on it. I mean, the Bengals O Line room is SERIOUSLY massive.
