I am always interested in what he has to say because he usually nails the pick and gives the fans a good idea of who to expect or what position to expect. Last year he said Will Fuller, Josh Doctson, Corey Coleman, Eli Apple, and William Jackson would be the 5 they were likely to target. 4 of those guys were gone and 1 was still on the board and drafted. It also was easy to then predict that after getting the CB they would go WR with who he had mentioned and obviously Boyd became the selection. I remember when it seemed like Tight End wasn't going to be an option when we drafted Eifert but Lapham said his name multiple times leading up to the draft. He nailed Ogbuehi and Fisher as targets for the first round a couple years ago and we landed both.

Wait till later this week. It's usually around this time that Lap and Hoard are allowed in the war room to see what the Bengals are thinking. Lap didn't mention the possibility of Ogbuehi until draft day itself in 2015.
