I Hate It. A WR in Round 1, how insane. We took a WR in round 1 last year. Hernandez probably won't be on the board in Round 2. Where is the top pick Center Bengals say they need. We go into round 3 looking for a center probably worse than Bodine because we went weak on another finesse player WR. We have AJ Green, Lafell, Boyd came on big end of season, don't count top pick Ross out so fast, and there are others like Erickson in the mix. They kept Eifert and have Kroft. So Calvin Ridley or any WR, QB, RB, TE would be just a stupid pick when Bengals need Blocking and Tackling. Here we have Bengals too weak to play other teams in the trenches, and this inside guy to Bengals is talking weak finesse players. If they make this pick, team stays weak and lucky to win 4 games.
Do they understand you can't draft finesse players every year and expect to beat Steelers or Ravens. Don't they understand some of our best picks have been Bill Bergey, Mike Reid, Anthony Munoz, guys that Block or Tackle and make the Bengals tough enough to have a chance against Steelers.
I still say best guard or tackle on board at 21, then in 2 there should still be either Price or Daniels on board for a good solid center addition. Now we can block and open run lanes and protect Dalton. Like Burt Reynolds movie, Protect Superstar. We won't need any receivers if Dalton is getting sacked every play.
Hopkins pick is more of the Akili Smith type picks that has produced no play-off wins over 3 decades. Why does he have a man crush on Ridley. Look, once you get past the first 5 players on board or maybe the first 10, there are no more huge draft Superstars and it's all a crap shoot, so you might as well draft needs and our needs are Blocking and Tackling. Bengals are too WEAK to man up with the big boy teams, it's not receiving. We have receiving, we have no trenches. We have worst O Line in NFL. Take best Blocker on board in ONE and best center on board in TWO. Then start looking for Defense. Grab the Blockers early and then load up on Defense. Late rounds a RB and TE because they are good special teams, good back-up, good talent at RB and TE late, good depth. If we nail O Line early , we have rounds 3 and on to grab key Defensive help in mid rounds. Then we can put on Big Boy Pants and go out and play with the Big Boys. A draft of Blocking and Tackling improves Bengals play-off win chances 100 %.
We don't need Calvin Ridley or Lemar Jackson. What do these guys do, pull names out of a hat ???? At pick 21 you look to see who is on the board still from Guard-Quentin Nelson, LB-Roquan Smith, Tackle-Orlando Brown, Tackle-Kolton Miller, Center/ Guard-Frank Ragnow, Tackle-Mike McGlinchey, Guard-Will Hernandez, Tackle/ Guard-Isaiah Wynn, Center/Guard-Billy Price. I have no idea how Bengals have these players listed, but they simply grab the best one still on the board. If they don't get a Center, come back in 2 and get the center. If they do get a center, come back in 2 and take a tackle or a guard. It's not rocket science and throwing Ridley and Jackson in is nonsense. Get the Blockers, then from 3 on grab Defense. Come out with Blocking and Tackling so we can grab Steelers by the nose and kick them in the astroturf.
