Plus, Fournette is just better, stronger, and faster than J. Hill. Unless he gets hurt, I think he's going to be a franchise RB in the NFL. If he's there at 9, I 'd take him. I don't know wtf the Bengals will do. Probably, like Lapham says, take a pass rusher. And in Bengals-Land that probably means DE, so Thomas or Barnett will be the pick. Neither one really thrills me, but I'm one who thinks our Offense is stagnant. We need another BIG weapon. 

That could be one of 5 players, maybe 6. I'm just not that high on Williams as a WR. 

I agree with you about Mixon. He might be a better RB than Fournette. Voch Lombardi certainly as me leaning that way. But we don't know if he'll be there in the 2nd Round. He won't last longer than that.

I'm not certain that OJ Howard wouldn't be the best option. #1 he's a great blocking TE. #2 he's a very tall, fast, and strong receiver with great hands. He'd improve our running game AND our passing attack. 

John Ross is another one. That kind of speed and athleticism combined with an ability to run strong routes and make catches is pretty freakish. How can you NOT think about taking this guy to put across from AJ?

Same with Corey Davis, though he's a different receiver just because of his size difference. Davis reminds me of AJ when I watch him run his routes. He just knows how to get separation and has better hands than Ross, though he's not as fast, which doesn't mean he's slow. He's just closer to this side of human compared to Ross with his 4.2 40 time or whatever it was. 

Dalvin Cook's name needs to be mentioned, but I'm not sure that our offensive brain-trust has the brains to know how to use him effectively. We seem to have a hard time getting our RBs mixed into the passing game. That's a big part of Cook's game. But Mixon is a crazy good pass catcher, too. I'd take Mixon over Cook, I think, but it's not because I think Cook is garbage. 

barnett is down to mid-late teens now. I think we wr, lattimore or hooker or trade back. Fournette just never impressed me. Mixon did. Hes got at minumun 8 one handed catches on the run which shocked me how good his hand are but hes got the agility of gio and the power if hill. Hes a mixture of tyler boyds hands, gios agility, and hills power. I know im higher on williams than most peoplw, but its just what i see. If he was gonna be double covered then i would be more worried about hia routes. But hes gonna be single covered for the first couple years at least while he learns better routes. Hell just go up and over 1 on 1 man coverage against number 2 corners. I think ross will never be on the field due to injury. As ive said davis and williams are neck and neck but i like williams just a hair more. Peple focused on his 40, keenan allen whose closest to williams in terms of playing style, ran a 4.75. Oj howard, while he improved at blocking, is nowhere near the level of jake butt in terms of blocking. This class is so deep at tight end we can get a first round player in the second anf the third in mixon and butt. Butt can block a de for extended period of time, howard cant. I would not take howard at 9.
