I suppose the Cowboys could move up 1 spot for a 3rd but dont see that happening either.

Trade back is always a popular option but unless a team is sitting on a franchise QB with their pick it rarely happens inside the top 5.

When’s the last time we drafted “4 great players” in one year? 2012 we got Kirkpatrick, Zeitler, Sanu, and Marvin Jones. Good draft, but idk that any of them were “great.”

We haven’t drafted a single Pro Bowler since Tyler Eifert in 2013. Bates will make it this year, but 6 years in between is a really long time. We could pass on Sewell, and then end up with another 2015 type draft. Sorry, but if Sewell goes somewhere else and lives up to his potential, and we end up with our best players from from an entire draft class being guys like Uzomah and Kroft I’d be pretty upset.

If we take Sewell and he doesn’t work out so be it. At least no one can argue with the choice.

I’d counter with Cedric Ogbuehi, Billy Price, John Ross, Jake Fisher, Drew Sample, etc. This team does well with obvious picks, and not so well when they have to think.

I’d also argue that in this division, calling the Bengals a serious playoff threat under your scenario is a bit optimistic. Burrow will likely miss a few games at minimum next year. Thinley and Brandon Allen aren’t winning games.

We agree.

Playing this year and will only have like 16 games under hidms belt and hurt half games as freshman and has been perceived as a finesse tackle player more than a mauler. Would really look to move down for more quality picks.

2.) There 4 QBs that are currently projected as franchise QBs in this upcoming draft.The Bengals might get great deals for one of them.

They have two 1sts and two 2nds, and they are currently at 7-4.
They may feel they are just a couple pieces away, so they may be willing to trade up to the Bengals' pick for that one elite game changer like Sewell, Chase, or Rousseau vs drafting multiple 1st and 2nd rounders later in the rounds.

But if I can trade back and have a total of 4 top 60 picks, essentially guaranteed Wyatt Davis AND Alex leatherwood?as well as 2 more top picks for dline and secondary?  I’m doing it. 90 percent of qb pressure this year come from IOL. That’s where u gotta focus first.  
What evidence to the contrary? The fact is 90 percent of pressure came from the IOL last year and that won’t change if u draft Sewell.

I actually think a slide back may be in order here as there are actually 5 tackles in this class I think could be really good and while they may not be Sewell they can all be good starting tackles. The extra picks though have to address a pass rush, and potentially secondary, that needs a TON of help.
