It is another thing to claim you are smarter than all 32 NFL teams.

Reagor may end up as the best WR in this class.  "Draft experts" say stupid shit all the time.

You will literally argue anything. Lol

No to both. Go with Chinn, Gross-Matos, Higgins or Jones.

We only have 3 DE's on the roster. They need a pass rusher, and I'm not sold on Lewis (who they coached in Seniorbowl and we should keep an eye on). Especially with Lawson in a contract year.

Chinn can be moved to LB and it'll allow us to cut Williams and sign a couple free agent lB's (Lee) to go with a 3rd or 4th round lb.

Ian Rapaport should probably rename himself Smoke Screen, because teams and scouts whisper lie to him and he just tweets the lies out for the likes and retweets.

Examples:

Sources: The #Dolphins have called the teams in front of them for a possible trade up from No. 5 and are gauging the price to come up to No. 3 to potentially take an offensive tackle. We could see a run on tackles in the Top 10 like never before.

From @NFLTotalAccess Draft Preview: The #Falcons have talked to several teams in the Top 10 about moving up, and everyone assumes that's for a corner. But Atlanta has also FaceTimed with multiple top tackles who will be long gone by 16. ??? pic.twitter.com/j1Qp0u8day

From @NFLTotalAccess: The #Giants are open to moving back from No. 4, and the whole world thinks they are taking a tackle. And yet, why are they talking to Oregon's Justin Herbert? pic.twitter.com/e4uNOmx0AR

I had a GM tell me, “The media is wronger about mock drafts this year than you guys have ever been.” Point being, players are going to be taken in places no one expects. https://t.co/oyDHSndqkl

That last one isn't a smoke screen so much but...was last night really so off from what the mock drafters said? I don't think so. There were a hand full of surprises, but not more than any other year.

So there's hope that this tweet is just a smoke screen given to him by the Bengals.

I hope so, because drafting a DT, even if they are a good player, would be a horrible pick for this team and Mims...I'm just not impressed at all with his arm barring, ball dropping, off season rising ass

Draft Jones. Case closed. Impressed during senior bowl week. Great pff grades as well. Option 2 mims then option 3 Baun. He also loooks like a stud.

I approve this message.

I'll be pretty surprised if we draft Josh Jones. Only because believe it or not, the Bengals like Bobby Hart, who they still believe has upside. The question isn't just how good Jones is, but how much better than Hart he is, versus how much other players add to what we can do. I don't think pick 33 will be OL, although I agree it's a need.

Adam Schefter just said we're not trading.

Please not zach baun

Looks like Higgins

Wow! I like him! Welcome Tee Higgins!

Knew it, he was the only one they had the camera on. Not a big fan of this pick with what we could of had.

But yeah, I like most all of these guys over Mims for the reasons I listed. Higgins has his questions though too, same with Shenault
and his injury history. Robert Hunt is a guy I would be all for who can play Guard or RT.

Sorry, when I'm posting off my laptop it's Baun, when I post on my phone it auto corrects to Braun.

Better Higgins that Mims. No trademark push-off, much fewer drops.

Yes... I see way more crazy catches by Higgins in traffic than I did Mims. Too many OPI calls for that guy in the NFL, I can see it now.

100% agreed. I've been on the Higgins train all off season and the Not Mims train since about the same time (I may or may not have been the conductor of that train XD).

This draft has been borderline perfect for me.

Plus Tee played against much higher competition at CB and is faster on the field and gets separation.

The best WR Clemson has had in years and Clemson puts out high quality Receivers. Love the pick honestly.

Get the WR that played against the best and still kicked ass is my vote in the end.

There are questions with every WR and Mims honestly had more than Higgins who played in a stronger Conference.
