RE: ***Official 2019 NFL Draft Discussion Thread*** - Beaker - 04-27-2019
Davis could play on one leg and be an upgrade over Nickerson.

This is a Zac Taylor draft and he doesn’t draft anything like Marvin. Marvin wasn’t a bad coach with respect to the draft — but Zac has a new scheme in mind: Run the ball and stop the run. This iteration of the Bengals will look somewhat like 2009 but Joe Mixon is lots better than Cedric Benson.
Thanks man, i like some reality going on, this hate on our new Head Coach that hasn't even coached a game yet is getting WAY out of hand. This is a great Draft in my opinion at positions of need and Taylor is picking the players he needs for his system to succeed and get us wins and a Playoff win and possibly a Superbowl win that we have waited forever for.
People have certain preferences as far as players go i understand, but Taylor and company addressed our weaknesses. To act like they didn't and act like getting the best most versatile OT in college, the best blocking TE and one of the top Linebackers is not addressing our weaknesses is lunacy.
Some people need to pull their head out of their azz and understand what was wrong with our team here.
Taylor can see it, it was frustrating for years when Marv didn't see it.

I agree and I think Davis will make the team and play on special teams

I also like Worley still as he is smart.
We aren't as bad off at LB as people make out with Haslett now gone replaced by Tem, Pratt and Davis.

Hey Everyone:
I know most of you have done so already but for those members that have not,
Please click on the link and support the forum. We need your help to keep the board funded for two years. The draft displayed how much members depend on this board. Even if it is only 5-10$ it will help.
thanks.

I think, as far as the linebackers, at this point you either trade for one or sign something left out there. Telvin Smith is someone I'd like to go after. Coughlin isn't happy with him or Jalen Ramsey for not being at voluntary workouts. Could be someone to target. Darron Lee as well.

This guy knows how to diagnose plays and tackle. Something we desperately need from the Linebacker position.
Understood, but, there were plenty of others out there still available and comparatively were better. Doesn't matter what I or the draft "pundits" think though.

Dammit! I'm so mad we weren't able to get the moon, stars and sun, make every team give up their best players for our worst players and make the steelers pay the salaries of ALL our players AND pay each and every one of us here on thebengalsboard.com bonus money to whine about the Bengals! IT'S NOT FAIR!
On the other hand I like most of this draft. If it doesn't work out then it doesn't work out. If it does then GREAT! Life doesn't end for me and my cat will still want feed three times a day, the grass will still grow and warm showers will still feel good.

Sills went undrafted. I would not mind at all seeing him brought in as an UDF. I think he will make a team somewhere as a UDF. Might as well be us. :)

He is 4th round because he was an underachiever. Sometimes these guys get motivated by potential NFL money, and sometimes they do nothing.
No 4th round pick is going to be flawless.
Sometimes it just depends how much. Depending how he plays after his first contract ( if he even makes the team) this is the type of player that gets paid and lays down.

It really is all opinion, but the fact is Deshaun Davis led the Auburn Tigers in tackles for years and was a leader for them. A good SEC team with a good Defense and he was a standout that we drafted in the 6th round. I don't find this to be a bad pick and don't understand people acting like Davis is some chump or bad pick in the 6th round...

I like the character of this coaching staff. It really shone through in the draft interviews, as well as in the character of our picks. This is about building talent, sure, but it's also about establishing an identity as a team and a culture as an organization. Props to Taylor. He knows exactly what he's doing, and I like it.

Sample is not an impact player. He's a role player.

Two very different styles, but both are quality backers.
Davis brings SEC experience and is a serious thumper. His range could limit him on 3rd downs, but two deep zones should fit him well.
He could a more physical rendition of Dhani Jones.

He's right. There's no way this was an A+ draft.
It was an, on paper, good solid draft that filled needs. I'd say a good solid C with potential to go B.
And you do tend to spread the hyperbole pretty thick right after draft time.

Yeah, this guy should be great.
Weaknesses
- Hip tightness creates sluggishness in transitional movements
- Mediocre instincts and lack of burst allow blockers to find him too easily
- Struggles to maneuver through box traffic efficiently
- Too much guess work and not enough feel for lane choices by running backs
- Poor speed to range, chase and finish
- Needs to compliment forceful take-ons with better block slipping
- Sitting duck waiting to be exploited by passing attacks
