Read a new mock draft today that has Lamar Jackson being drafted by the Bengals in Round 2. Any thoughts?

Probably not still on the board by the time we pick in round one

I would love it, but don't think he will be there......

I agree. He may or may not get a crack at the QB position, but somebody's going to grab him just for his freakish athleticism and potential.

We usually don't do well with that type of player, unfortunately. I'm not sure what Jackson is going to be, and we have other needs in other places so I would pass. If we're being risk-averse in this draft, I don't think Jackson is worth the gamble.

Oh I agree.  I wasn't implying we should take him, I was just agreeing that he won't be there when we pick.

I think Jackson might be the biggest wild card in the draft. Depending on how workouts and interviews go, I think he could stay around the end of the first round or take a big drop. It's hard to find a place that he fits with his skill set. 

Well, we all know that I would have no problem with that at all.

Do not think it will happen or that he would still be on the board then though.

If we took him in the 2nd round, I wouldn't be complaining.
