Love the read on this guy and should stiffen our line up immediately. Murphy plays mean, just a physical specimen that loves to punish the RB and the QB. I want him on my side lol Mims doesn't play raw, his problem has been injuries and lack of snaps, but on the field he looks fantastic in the limited film. RE: 2024 1st Round Draft Pick (Board Selection) - Soonerpeace - 04-18-2024 Probably won’t be there (Brian Thomas) but conversation with a former Big 8 DC (today) that’s seen the Bengals 25 times in person the last 5 years and in the building countless times was interesting. He’s heard nothing BTW but he said if Thomas was there he’d pick him. He said he’s insurance in case Higgins leaves. But he said that between Gesicki and Chase between them they could take a lot of snaps in the slot. He said Thomas & Higgins as WR and Chase & Gesicki would sure eliminate a lot of double teams. He said with Chase Brown’s speed who they gonna stop? https://www.cincinnati.com/story/sports/nfl/bengals/2024/04/17/brian-thomas-jr-lsu-receiver-may-be-cincinnati-bengals-nfl-draft-first-round-target-18th-pick/73352179007/ RE: 2024 1st Round Draft Pick (Board Selection) - Nate (formerly eliminate08) - 04-18-2024 (04-18-2024, 04:43 PM)Soonerpeace Wrote: Probably won’t be there (Brian Thomas) but conversation with a former Big 8 DC (today) that’s seen the Bengals 25 times in person the last 5 years and in the building countless times was interesting.

In the end we still need a Tackle to step in for Trent Brown with his injury history. If we did draft Brian Thomas Jr at 18 it would open up the possibility of trading Tee as well for an early 2nd round pick where we could grab a Tackle, wouldn't mind your guy Guyton in the early 2nd, just not at 18.

In the end we still need a Tackle to step I think he goes first round. Too much athleticism and ceiling. Best in the draft at all positions possibly from an upside. But I wouldn’t take him at 18. But now that we have Brown I feel more inclined. I want Brian Thomas. Leaning away from Arnold at CB based on discussions nothing from the Bengals. But make no mistake they won’t pass up anybody that falls to them despite the position if it’s a steal.

Probably right, I think Mims has just as much upside as Guyton though. Yes, expect them to go BPA all the way at 18.

On Thomas: The most reputable draft sources, such as ESPN's Mel Kiper and NFL Network's Daniel Jeremiah, believe Thomas will fall into the mid-to-late 20s. Kiper has the LSU wideout going to the Buffalo Bills at No. 28 and Jeremiah has the Arizona Cardinals selecting him at No. 23.

Yes, expect them to go BPA all the way at 18. Mims has more upside than any T in this class not named Alt. It's busy that he's the highest risk of the top dozen or so T prospects.

Completely agree, his balance, size and athleticism are like no other OL I have seen in a long time. |
