You’re the GM - The Real Deal - 04-27-2018
Which direction are you going in round 2? Tackle? Guard? Safety? Linebacker?
What say you?
Also, what direction do you think THEY will go?
RE: You’re the GM - Rattler - 04-27-2018
Since we won't pay guards, best tackle available.
RE: You’re the GM - Yojimbo - 04-27-2018
I'm taking BDPA. That's best defensive player available.
RE: You’re the GM - Sled21 - 04-27-2018
If Hernandez is there, they better grab him.....
RE: You’re the GM - Schmitbuck - 04-27-2018
After getting a good player at our greatest positional need, I feel like today is just gravy. No need to reach today as there lots of good players at positions that we could use an upgrade as others have pointed out. That being said, I'd like to:
- Get another lineman today to compete for a starting spot at RG or RT this year/take over in 2019.
- Possibly pass on safety unless the value is too good. There are young guys still guys in free agency that I think could help.
- Stay away from TE in the 2nd round
RE: You’re the GM - Big Boss - 04-27-2018
Linebacker or Safety, unless Will Hernandez drops.
RE: You’re the GM - psychdoctor - 04-27-2018
I have a feeling that the Cincinnati Bengals are going to pick defense in round 2. Hurst, Harrison, Carter, either Jackson at CB.
If the Bengals miss out on Hernandez, then Braden Smith or Crosby are pretty good for round 3.
RE: You’re the GM - BURROWorBUST - 04-27-2018
I tried getting it to top 10, but I could only get to 11. If I was GM, my "big board" would look like this
Harold Landry - Edge
School: Boston College | Year: Senior
Ronnie Harrison - S
School: Alabama | Year: Junior
Maurice Hurst - DT
School: Michigan | Year: Senior
Rasheem Green - DE
School: USC | Year: Junior
Lorenzo Carter - Edge
School: Georgia | Year: Senior
Justin Reid - S
School: Stanford | Year: Junior
Harrison Phillips - DT
School: Stanford | Year: Senior
Josh Jackson - CB
School: Iowa | Year: Junior (RS)
Donte Jackson - CB
School: LSU | Year: Junior
Brian O'Neill - OT
School: Pittsburgh | Year: Junior (RS)
Orlando Brown - OT
School: Oklahoma | Year: Junior (RS)
RE: You’re the GM - Truck_1_0_1_ - 04-27-2018
Orlando Brown with one of the 3rd round picks, I'd be good with.
As for 2nd round... I have no clue.
Don't need QB, RB, WR, CB, so...
Best LB available, DE or OL.
RE: You’re the GM - Hoofhearted - 04-27-2018
If Josh Jackson is there, he'll probably be the pick. Otherwise, I would really like Hernandez, although I doubt they go that route. I think it's D, so I will go with:
Justin Reid
Ronnie Harrison
Josh Jackson
Mo Hurst
Rasheem Green
RE: You’re the GM - Stripes - 04-27-2018
I strongly suspect they'll go Defense in Round 2, but I hope they go OL with Connor Williams. Now way will Hernandez be there. Jamarco Jones or Orlando Brown in Round 3 would get me going.
If not Connor Williams in Round 2, is there a LB good enough for that pick?
RE: You’re the GM - grampahol - 04-27-2018
The last time they picked offensive line players 1 & 2 it didn't exactly turn into the greatest thing since sliced bread so I kind of doubt that they double down like this again so soon. On the other hand they really seem to like sliced bread and now they apparently seem to have a guy who can actually slice bread the right way. After all, sliced bread is still the greatest thing since sliced bread . Who knows? Maybe Pollack is the kind of guy who just rips pieces of bread off the loaf instead of slicing it.

That is my question, is there a LB good enough for the 2nd round? I don't like the idea of trying to make someone into a LB at the NFL level. Yes I am thinking Carter, has he played LB before? I think it has to be safety in RD 2. Personal favorite is Bates III but wouldn't be to unhappy with Harrison or Reid here. Rd 3 I would get Rankin or Jones.
RE: You’re the GM - Goalpost - 04-27-2018
Lorenzo Carter can play linebacker imo.
Depends how they feel about Billings but they could go with another run stuffer
Corner is always on the table
And...they could still beef up the o-line....imagine if Daniels is still there..ha
RE: You’re the GM - fredtoast - 04-27-2018
DE
LB
TE
Not a lot of highly ranked players at these positions
RE: You’re the GM - SunsetBengal - 04-27-2018
How nice would it be to get Will Hernandez? Just imagine an interior OL of Boling, Price, Hernandez? We could just run up the gut, 4 yards and a rugburn, all game long. Marvin would be on cloud 9 with those brutal, defense exhausting 12 minute drives.
However, I don't think they are likely to do that. What I think will happen is after letting Lazor/Pollack get their man in the 1st, they go on to let the other new coach get his man on the defensive side of the ball. Austin being tagged as a specialist with the secondary, I lean toward Safety.
RE: You’re the GM - TKUHL - 04-27-2018
Regardless there will be a pretty good player on the board when we pick. I would love any of the following.
QB-Rudolph(my dark horse)
OT- Crosby, Williams(either my 5th just cause Brown might be there in 3)
OG- Hernandez(1st choice), Daniels(2nd choice), maybe B. Smith
DT- Hurst, Phillips
DE- Landry, Sweat
LB- Jefferson(4th choice)
CB- Josh Jackson ( If he's there in sure we take him)
S- Harrison(3rd choice), Reid
RE: You’re the GM - BrownAssClown - 04-27-2018
I think they go Defense first tonight, probably Safety or linebacker, but if I'm making the pick and Hernandez is sitting there at 46 I could not pass him up.

maybe not but where is Justin reid ranked? could be a name we look at (and use as a way to get his brother in town)

With redmon and westerman coming on last season when given a chance... And the potential for OBG Fisher Hart to also compete for RG
Id say we go OT if we get another lineman over a Guard.
