Downplay injures if you'd like but i want long term usage out of 9. Another team likely sees their QB or player they're in love with, so hold the it takes two line. Dealing down as an extra 2nd or 3rd in this draft is more important than the thin line between prospects between say 7 thru 20. I'd be as cool with either of the 3 WRS as I would some of the pass rushers ore true BPA in that range. Package a few late picks to fix the quality over quantity balance and call it a day. This draft could be big for Cincy, use the picks right.
We have Smith back to play RT. I think Westerman will be fine at RG. I'm more worried about LT. I hope we find a team to trade back with to give us an extra pick or two in the first 3 rounds. That would allow us to go DE, RB, OL, WR/TE.
