I could see Jackson moving up the depth cart above Shaw and even higher if Kirkpatrick struggles or Dennard comes back slow from injury. This pick also opens things up for us next year I think they’ll let Kirkpatrick walk which make it easier for the Bengals to resign Bernard and Zeitler.

The problem I have with this is by the time the younger guys (Shaw, Dennard, WJIII) rise to the top three spots, they will be close to ready to a re-up. We don't take full advantage of the rookie deals. Would be nice to have maybe two-three years of productive rookie deals to maximize that value.

And if the bengals FO didn't think so highly of Dre, why did they option him at 7.5 mil? They wouldn't just pay a corner 7.5 million dollars if they didn't think he played good (not saying I thought he did, but I am also not the one signing the checks lol)
