Good pick for the Chiefs. He's a bigger Darren Sproles who should excel in that offense.
There you go CEH.

So it's Baun, Gross-Matos, Jones, Higgins, Mims. There are options at 33.

Too bad we don't need a Safety.

There is no way anyone authorized to make football moves for the Bengals didn't go to bed and/or skiing directly after the Burrow pick.

Over Baun?  Mckinney probably bpa but it's not a need
I think #33 will be Jones. Bengals need a blue chip OL to protect Burrow and although Williams appears healthy, team doesn't know how he will do. With new QB, need to protect the pocket.

I know they want WR and LB but Jones is clearly the bpa at position of need. Bengals could grab Wilson, ADG, or Gay in round 3 or grab Pittman or another good WR in round 3 and take Davion Taylor later. Taylor has similar RAS as Queen. Just some thoughts.

WhoDey2 Fixed it for ya ThumbsUp  
Read this on Fox about Josh Jones:

5) WHERE WILL HE GO?

Jones is among the top offensive linemen in a deep draft class. Some experts believe he could be taken in the top 10 while others feel he could slip to the mid-first round. He shouldn’t see the second round.
Welp, see you tomorrow...er, later today, you know.
If they take gross matos tomorrow I’ll throw a shoe
Edwards Helaire is like a bigger Darren Sproles. KC got a heck of a pick for their offense.
Think I want Mims at 33.
So just based on one board of prospects (CBS Sports) here is who is left to pick from to start Rd 2. Of course other boards are completely different and the Bengals' board may be as well.

Reminder: We interviewed Zach Braun, Curtis Weaver, Laviska Shenault, Denzel Mims, and I think we showed some interest in Yetur Gross-Matos as well. Or at least I know there was a period we said we were interested in an Edge rusher.

I know the temptation is to go Oline though I think Josh Jones was a left tackle (on the other hand, these days supposedly they are interchangeable) and we're looking more for a right. I wouldn't hate getting a Corner but maybe that is my own weird obsession -- despite picking up 2 in FA and having 2 who could already start for me that isn't enough.

33 has to be the best Ol available. They have to protect Burrow. Slide the kid from Pittsburgh inside to guard, Have Jones and Williams our bookends, with Hopkins at center and let Price and Jordan fight for the other Guard spot. Not to mention the kid from Dallas, forgot about him
I want them to pick Josh Jones at 33. They might still get a good starting caliber WR in the 3rd. Either a LB like ADG or a good WR in the 3rd. Maybe they should pick LB in the 3rd this year and just wait until next year's first round for a WR, and hope A.J. Green stays healthy this season.
Tomorrow night we will see what ZTs actual philosophy is. Burrow was a no brainer but now the picks will show what he wants the team to look like.
People will be pissed but I think it will be Logan Wilson either at 33 or trade back. They need a LB and they know that. Logan has the skill set + size combination that they love. Plus his ball production is awesome.
WR is tempting but where is he gonna play right now? Who are you going to replace? Green? no unless he gets hurt again. Boyd? No. Ross? No unless he gets hurt again. Tate? there's your 4th. There is no point.
