Really really easy to predict who they're going to take at 21. The really really tough part is being right .
I'm thinking interior offensive line, center or guard, but it could go DL just as easily or even LB if the right player falls.
Still, 21 isn't as important as the overall number of picks, 11 and 5 are in the 1st 4 rounds and 6 in the 6th and 7th.
There's nothing that says they can't find great players in the 6th and 7th rounds although the odds are better in the higher rounds.
As usual most people are focused on the first round, but almost always discount 6th and 7th and CFA's.. It seems there's actually more value in CFAs than 6 and 7 although that's probably more about perception than reality .
The cool part most fans don't think about is rookies are all still young men who haven't reached their full potential . Certain positions take a few years to truly develop .CBs, QBs and so on while running backs tend to flame out when they're still quite young . Most are hit or miss . Most fans are not willing to wait a few years for a 6th or 7th round player to grow and develop into a full grown man.. My favorites are usually 4th and 5th round in their 3rd seasons, not 1st rounders where it's sink or swim where everyone wants to slap the 'bust' label on anyone who isn't a big star by their 2nd season .
Rumor has it that the Bengals will lose more than they win. I'm not buying it..
