Sure we do, them and OL. There's so many good WRs this year it doesn't make sense not to bring a few in just to compete.

yep. we also drafted 3 coaches sons. 2 or 3 academic all-americans. There are definite themes to Zac's drafting qualities
and then there is this
Purdue LB Markus Bailey also pursuing a master's degree in leadership.#Bengals

To add to that sentiment, we knew OL and LB were issues. I'd rather see Cincy fix 1 issue and leave the other, than have both positions "sort of fixed" and still have a glaring hole. This draft shows they are fixing concerns. If even 2 of these LBs work out, we can go heavy OL next year and *fingers crossed* have righted the ship. You can only do so much with 7 picks.

OL, absolutely.
I just think for WR, we have:
AJ
Higgins
Ross
Boyd
Erickson
Tate
Morgan
Willis
Irwin
Mike Thomas
Damarkus Lodge
So 11 guys.
I would think, just for reps purposes, they will sign 1, otherwise you have everyone you need, IMO.

DJ said Bailey has 2nd RD talent and could be the "steal of the draft"

ADG was a captain pretty sure Truck. We only had 7 picks, my guess was the WR.
Love Tee too though.

Hopefully they have a trade or something in the works that will help the OL.
Those picks were when Marv was here with the LB's.
I am liking these new LB picks under Lou so far big time.
Also think there is a trade in the mix for Gabe Jackson and bringing in Jason Peters to help out the young guys.

T, G and TE.
That is what I am talkin' about.
RE: ***Official 2020 NFL Draft Thread*** - psychdoctor - 04-25-2020
Some had Bailey as round 1 talent and was the leader of Boilers defense. Had two knee complications. If he is healthy, he is a good one.

A person can actually get an advanced degree in leadership?
And to think it just comes naturally to me.
RE: ***Official 2020 NFL Draft Thread*** - Fan_in_Kettering - 04-25-2020
Let’s not forget the Bengals added two offensive linemen in free agency: Isaiah Prince and Xavier Su’a Filo.

He was the only one I wasn't sure of, but everyone else had it mentioned! lol

Yes he's very talented just can't stay healthy. The kind of high risk high reward pick the 7th round was made for.

Well my friends I'm suffering from draft fatigue. Going to throw a steak on the grill and watch a movie or something. Thanks all for the fun draft chat, banter and all the funny jokes. Was fun hanging out with you all here during quarantine.

now the UDFA fun begins...

Sounds like the RB we took from OU last year. Here's to hoping Bailey has better luck at TC

Feel the same, nice post CCC.
It is pretty embarrassing when your Linebackers cannot cover or tackle. No more of this damn it.
Put a stop to it.

Bengals fans are big mad there wasn’t more of an OL focus. 3 things:
— Andrew Russell (@PFF_AndrewR) April 25, 2020
1. Coaches clearly like the OL more than media/fans.
2. Drafting for need (like OL) instead of talent and BPA the last few drafts is what led to 2-14.
3. The roster overhaul cannot be completed in one draft.
