What about Latham, Fuaga, and Guyton? I am assuming they haven't gone yet. I haven't turned on NFLN to see yet this morning.

Aside from OT and Brock Bowers, I can see there being A LOT of appeal for Brian Thomas Jr, especially when he could be groomed behind Higgins for a year.
Or give more reps to Chase in the slot and have BTJ play those outside reps opposite Higgins to let him see the field sooner.

They don't start the on field testing until 1pm EST.

We knew Guyton and Fuaga's measurements from the Senior Bowl. Latham came in huge even if it's overshadowed by Mims. See how well they tesr compared to eachother.

Mims gives me Isaiah Wilson vibes

I usually like giants. I haven’t watched all that much. But nothing I’ve seen has made me comfortable with the idea of drafting him and putting him out there at RT this year

Isaiah Wilson was a very talented player. It was his work ethic that doomed his career he did not want to play football. 

Blake Corum ends up benching most among RB's with 27. Braelon Allen second at 26. Both these guys seem to have good potential in pass protection as well.

Always been a fan of Fautanu and never understood the OG projection. When Wash played Bama I said Was had the best OT on the field. 

WTS, I'd still take Latham over him unless we plan to move OBJ to the right side.

Corum has Bengal written all over him. Big producer from a big-time program. As to character; he used a portion of his NIL money to feed the needy at Thanksgiving. 

I see him as Gio Bernard. In skillset and size

Good day for Tackles with initials TF.

Love to have either at 18

Would love to get a fast blocking grinder like Isaac Guerendo in the mid/late rounds. Unfortunately, after his performance at he combine, he may be gone in the 3rd round.

Figured with Corum, dude just works his ass off, I really like the guy even if Michigan RB's have been a disappointment for a while now.

I think Corum could change this perception.

Love hearing that about Braelon Allen, if he can pass protect I would love to double up on RB's in this Draft. Right now, Allen and Kimani 
Vidal are me 2 ideal RB's for us.

Good stuff, like I said, really like Corum.

I get the tackle love and it wouldn’t be a bad pick, but it’s still Newton or trade back for me. We REALLY need more top 100 picks especially in this class

I'd really love to get 2 immediate contributors who play 400+ snaps on offense/defense this draft.

I wonder if Arizona would consider trading their 27th and 35th overall picks for 18th and 49th overall.

Here is the trade value chart for reference (https://overthecap.com/draft-trade-value-chart):
18th overall = 1535 pts
49th overall = 1028 pts
Total Bengals = 2563 pts

27th overall = 1330 pts
35th overall = 1198 pts
Total Cardinals = 2528 pts

With the number of offensive line talent in this draft class, I feel it may be worth the risk to move back 9 spots in Rd 1 and still get a solid starter-caliber guy and then being able to turn around 8 picks later and get another immediate contributor.

I like this thought. Lots of talent in between the 27th and 35th picks and if all our primary guys are gone at OT and DT we should
certainly think about trading back if we get an offer like that.

Were the specialists shown on NFL+ or something or did they skip their workouts altogether?

If that 35 guaranteed a 1st round, 5th year option, I think they'd be interested.

Otherwise, while it could happen, don't see it. If the Bengals move up in the first 3 rounds, I'm expecting it to be to move back into the 1st somehow.

For me it’s not about rt(Tyron smith?) or the raiders rt(name escapes me), but DT. 27 feels just right for sweat, then get maybe the top wr that falls? Or the dream get Graham Barton at 39.

Sweat will be there in the 2nd. Barton more than likely won't be.

Amarius Mims ran the short shuttle in 4.33 which is an insane number at 340lbs. He ran rhe short shuttle after the cramp during the forty.

Amarius Mims is a Freak an absolute Mutant.

Let me try to explain how insane this is.

Only seven offensive linemen since 1999 have recorded a faster short shuttle at the Combine. The heaviest of them was 304 pounds.

Only one other OL 330 or bigger even recorded a SS below 4.5 (Ryan Diem 4.46 in 2001) https://t.co/ykdoyul0af

If I had more faith in our oline coach I'd love to have Mims. But the last thing I want is "raw w/ upside".

So NFL Network/NFL.com came out about 11pm and said that they made a mistake Mims didn't run the shuttle. The 4.33 was Dylan Mchanons's run.
