Most saw him as a late 1st maybe early 2nd then he ended up going 19th which most people would have said was a bit high. There could be a late riser or two here, especially after people were tepid to pull the trigger in the 1st on Leonard last year because he came from a small school but see how big of an impact he made. I could see Devin Bush of Michigan being the late riser this year with a blazing combine, sneaks into the bottom of the 1st or beyond.
People have undervalued stack linebackers for a while now but the rejuvenation of Dallas's defense on the back of two young fast linebackers may cause a bit of a rebound effect.
All very good points. There could be a late riser, especially after the Combine.

I like that idea. Or perhaps not even have to trade down, just use the early 2nd rounder perhaps on a guy like Dalton Risner (looks like a solid choice for RT) and then you'll also have an extra Day 2 pick to help get another solid player. The Bengals would have to play it by ear since we've seen a run on certain positions that were deemed unexpected (e.g. WR in 2017).

But then who would tell us about those great late 7th round wide receivers who will be the greatest thing since sliced bread every season?

I like Risner at this point for round 2.
