PFF's All-Era Prospect Team - Which 2021 prospect makes it? - ochocincos - 02-15-2021 https://www.pff.com/news/draft-college-football-pff-all-era-nfl-prospect-team-2021 Below is the list of NFL prospects PFF considers their best prospect(s) at each position over the past seven years they've been analyzing college if they made a team. 2021 prospects listed in bold. QB - Trevor Lawrence RB - Dalvin Cook Outside WRs - Ja'Marr Chase, Amari Cooper Slot WR - Jerry Jeudy TE - Kyle Pitts OTs - Laremy Tunsil, Penei Sewell OG - Quenton Nelson, Rashawn Slater C - Frank Ragnow NT - Quinnen Williams UT - Maurice Hurst EDGE - Chase Young, Myles Garrett LB - Reuben Foster, Micah Parsons Outside CBs - Jalen Ramsey, Marshon Lattimore Slot CB - Minkah Fitzpatrick FS - Malik Hooker SS - Derwin James Out of the list, there are 5 offense and 1 defense guy in this year's draft. All are considered the most elite prospects at their position in the past seven years according to PFF. Looking at the list, nearly every single player has been very good in the NFL, so it's probably a safe bet to take one of the bolded if you want to get a good player in this year's draft. Knowing there are only four picks prior to the Bengals, at least two of the bolded players will be available at 5. Personally, this helps solidify my thought that if the Bengals do make a pick at 5, it should be one of Sewell, Pitts, or Chase. It's very likely (at least) one of them is available at 5.

While I appreciate the joke, it was reported back then that the Bengals really wanted Ragnow, but he was taken the pick before. They decided to take who they felt was the next-best C. It's worth noting that Elgton Jenkins (2019) was their honorable mention for C. The Bengals could have taken Jenkins at 42 in 2019, but chose to trade back after Jawaan Taylor, Cody Ford, and Dalton Risner went within just a handful of picks earlier in the 2nd round. As we know, they took Sample in the 2nd round after the trade back. Jenkins went to GB at 44, and he's been playing G there since they have Linsley at C. Should the Bengals have taken Jenkins in 2019 in hindsight? Probably. But Price had just come off his rookie year and the team likely felt he would continue to improve.

If both of those guys pan out, it will help Tobin's credibility. With that said, both guys essentially fell into the lap of the Bengals, so they were really no-brainer picks. In instances where the board doesn't fall their way, they seem to make bad decisions.

Trade back and get Sample over Jenkins. Track up and get Finley instead of 3 picks. Trade back and get Zeitler over DeCastro. Trade back and get Perry over S Jackson. Trade back and get Mixon over D Cook. They did trade down and still got Jesse Bates, but their add-on pick was Malik Jefferson. So it was more a no damage done than an actual positive move. I legitimately can't think of a 21st century trade up/down where the Bengals actually came out ahead.

He can have all the Penn State alumni he wants vouch for him, but that pick would scare the hell out of me.

Sometimes we tend to make mountains out of mole hills around here and Micah' character "issues" might be one. I goggled "Micah Parsons NFL Draft Profile. The first 5 sites I went to (Pro Football Network, The Draft Network, CBS, East West Football Network, and The Game Haus) and not one of them mentioned his character as a weakness. TBH if it wern't for this forum I would have never known he was ever involved in anything. Now I'm sure I could goggle "Micah Parson's fight ect..." and find something. I just find it strange that we consider it to be such a big issue but the first 5 profiles I reviewed did not. Hell I see opting out listed as a negative more than character and I've been told that concern is "nonsense" https://thegamehaus.com/nfl-draft/micah-parsons-2021-nfl-draft-profile/2021/01/15/ https://www.eastwestfootballnetwork.com/east-west-football-network/nfl-draft-prospects/2021-nfl-draft-prospect-profile-micah-parsons/ https://thedraftnetwork.com/player/micah-parsons/fm74W3OByo https://www.profootballnetwork.com/micah-parsons-nfl-draft-player-profile-penn-state-linebacker/ https://www.cbssports.com/nfl/news/2021-nfl-draft-what-to-know-about-micah-parsons-after-penn-state-linebacker-opts-out-of-2020-season/ RE: PFF's All-Era Prospect Team - Which 2021 prospect makes it? - NATI BENGALS - 02-15-2021 Yea that total stud lightening quick menace in the middle of our D really could help put an end to our defensive woes. No idea how they can list Slater next to Nelson at G. Did he ever play G?
