Your thoughts and concerns?

Another player who impressed at the Senior Bowl. Without Pro Days, it was the best audition a lot of these kids could do. For Wilson and ADG it worked out

Zac having a great draft. Dude is patient and is getting what he wants. Doesn't explain the Sample pick last year but hey, first time in the seat I guess.

Germaine Pratt, Akeem Davis-Gaither, and Logan Wilson?  That's a strong linebacker corps!

I'm....kinda disappointed we didn't pull the trigger on a trade like that.

But let's not think about that. We just got ADG in the 4th freaking round!

Lets make a move back into this round for a OT

Great pick. New faces on the field at lb. Much needed. Now go o-line

We’ve now addressed defense very extensively this offseason. Reader on the d line, 3 new LBers, a safety and 2 CB’s. People may want another pass rushers but I like our guys there if the rest of the defense improves theyll be better as well

The overconfidence in the existing offensive line is mind boggling to me. Nothing against the players they have taken in 2nd through 4th but I don't know how you don't invest in upgrading the line when you just drafted a franchise QB you have to protect. I guess we'll know next year if Burrow is still standing upright halfway through the season.

We can't afford his current contract nor what he will want next

Jury is still out on Sample, maybe he takes a huge leap in year two.

What's the word on ADG's knee?

We need to make a move up for an offensive lineman, they're all gonna be gone before our next pick.

When you combine the free agents they signed, the guys they got rid of, and this draft so far...

#Bengals DC Lou Anarumo on Akeem Davis-Gaither: Tough kid, coach's son. First one in meeting, last one to leave. "Brings a ton of athleticism. We're happy with the value where we got him in the draft."

He has some position flex. Could potentially be on the field all 4 downs.

Shoot there goes Simpson... still happy with ADG

I hope Biadasz or Kindley make it through the 4th...

Simpson. That didn't take long.

I think they're banking on the 4th quarter of the season when they put Johnson at LT and Jordan back in at LG and them performing admirably being real and not a dead cat bounce.

I personally think it's risky as hell, but we have more needs than picks. Burrow won't be ruined if he gets hit a little too often in 1 year. We can address Oline early and often in 2021 if these young players don't play up to the potential they showed in the final 4 games of the season.

No O linemen take today is saving us this year. We are more likely to pick up a vet who is cut because his replacement was drafted and get production then anyone today right away.
