Shows the type of value you can get in the later rounds and why there is no need to reach early. There are only a handful of blue chippers and the Bengals are much better served to get multiple quality picks that fill the areas of need. They generally do very well in the mid rounds so I'm exited to see what the draft brings for 2018.
Hey, no prob! Something funny is that going by grade, Jordan Willis would be the 3rd/4th highest rated DE in this draft at 5.85. The Bengals got him in the 3rd last year. This year he would be a fringe 1st or 2nd rounder based on the talent coming out. There are so many guys with high 5 grades like Willis at almost every position. But very bery few in the high 6's.
BTW, John Ross would be the #2 graded WR at 6.12 and that is WITH vomjng off of shoulder surgery. Ridley is #1 this season with a grade of 6.40. I would wager Ross would come off the board before him due to the speed. It's a weird draft this year.
