Not trying to be agressive in any way but dont we want sacks? Thomas didnt have a kot if aacks or production innhis college career. Dont understand the hype. Give me mcdowell, kpassagnon, walker, etc before thomas. I value production.
Howard isnt a great blocker though and for us to run 2 te sets u need great blocking out of one of ur tight enda. A guy like jake butt would be perfect jason witten 2.0

Hard to say he's really that much better than Thomas given he's only 3 more but playing against much worse competition. DeMarcus Walker I get. They are similar players. Walker had 15 sacks and it was against the same quality of competition. You know I've always liked Walker. But the reason people are raving about Thomas is because he's more than just a pass rusher. He was the best in the country in run defense too. The Bengals need help in the run defense department too, and there's still a lot of value in the NFL to stop the run. If you're going to pull the sack numbers thing, might as well mention Hunter Dimick (14.5), Carl Lawson (9.0), and Charles Harris (9.0).

Also, when you mention pro day, it's well known that most players run the 40 faster at their pro day than the combine. This is because typically the university tracks are faster than the turf in Indy.

It'd be one thing to see Mike Williams run the 40 at his pro day and get 4.55. But it's more worthwhile to see the other top draft picks at WR run on that same track. Given we can't see anyone else besides other Clemson players run the 40 at the Clemson pro day, we'll just have to compare the results that Deshaun Watson and Wayne Gallman post at the pro day with their times at the combine (4.66 and 4.60 respectively). Sure, it's possible that a player could actually improve their 40 time between the combine and his pro day, but it's not likely that it's because of improved training. It's likely due to other factors that are more favorable for the player. I trust the combine 40 numbers more than pro day 40 numbers.

I'mm really liking the Corey Davis kid out of Western Michigan.

I think he is lightening quick, like Chad, but a very physical player and runner with the ball.

I wouldn't be upset in the least if the Bengals go with this kid. He's my favorite WR in this draft and I think the BEngals need something special to take heat off of AJ Green on the outside and keep the middle opened up for Eifert and the RBs.
