at his Pro Day that he is our pick at 5 now. Would be happy with Pitts or Chase too but I think Pitts gets grabbed by
the Falcons.

1st Round: Penei Sewell OT Oregon - Our future bookend but also can play Guard for us early on if we want to keep
Jonah at LT and Reiff at RT. Great run blocker with great feet and can grow in pass protection.

2nd Round: Quinn Meinerz OG/C UW-Whitewater - This dude loves to just blast people, seek and destroy Guard who
can also play Center which is great with Hopkins coming off of injury. We take this guy in front of the Steelers who
really like him ha ha.

3rd Round: Milton Williams DT Louisiana Tech - Our Geno replacement, insane athlete and great inside pass rusher.
Have also heard we are very interested in this guy so also likely.

4th Round: Nico Collins WR Michigan - 6'4" fast WR that could be an upgrade over AJ right off the bat.

5th Round: Patrick Jones II DE Pittsburgh - Edge rusher that we need badly. Doubt he will be around in the 5th but
you never know. Our pass rush is now upgraded big time.

5th Round: Tommy Tremble TE Notre Dame - All around TE that is more of a pass catching weapon than anything
we currently have. Another weapon for Burrow.

6th Round: Evan McPherson K Florida - Best Kicker in the Draft some believe. Replaces Bullock.

7th Round: Cade Johnson WR/RS San Diego State - Return Specialist for Simmons who could replace Erickson.

Thoughts?

I was thinking to suggest Humphrey instead of Meinerz, but then I saw your reasoning and I'm sold.  I might even announce it, "With the sixth pick in the second round, the Cincinnati Bengals select Quinn Meinerz from Pittsburg--- oh no, my bad. Quinn Meinerz from Wisconsin-Whitewater..."

First two picks lock it up for me and then the rest is just icing on the cake.

Williams and Collins are perfect for us.

I love the Tremble pick because it will make the defense cover the entire field and will keep the safeties in the middle of the field.  He's underrated, IMCO.

Well done, my friend!

So we lost AJ and Erickson and Ross and you have us taking a WR in the 4th who'll probably be gone in the 2nd and a 7th round WR who is more than likely a special teamer. SO not overly impressed with that aspect of your mock. The rest looks good tho.

Sounds good Murdock.





Who knows with him sitting out last year. Lots of things could happen in this Draft that is even more extreme than usual.

That is my only concern with this Mock doubting Nico and Jones II specifically lasting that long but who knows?

I'm seeing Collins projected in the 2nd, possibly falling to early 3rd, and I'm seeing Tremble talked about as a 3rd rounder now.
Patrick Jones is an anomaly. I think he's worth a 3rd rounder, but I've seen some people project him into the 4th round. Getting him in Rd 5 would also be a steal IMO.

I think Meinerz needs to be groomed for a year before starting. I think he did better against players in Senior Bowl because no one knew him and had no tape to study. Once people start getting tape on him, his lack of playing in a better conference will start to show.

I just can't get behind passing on Ja'Marr Chase.  Our division had two teams that could blanket Boyd and Higgins with their best guys and we didn't have an answer.  Chase solves that.  I know you aren't one of them, but passing on Sewell doesn't mean you aren't concerned with protecting Burrow.  The Bengals need a draft pick to come in and start at RG.  Bottom line.  That could be a true guard like Meinerz or a projected tackle like Leatherwood.  If you think about it from an NFL averages standpoint, most teams will be prioritizing WR, OT, QB, CB, and DE in the early rounds.  Those are the premium positions.  Guard tends to be a little bit later in the draft. I can't help but think a player like Cleveland or Meinerz would be there at the top of round 3.  The Bengals could get the developmental OT in Rd 2 (Spencer Brown?) and the plug and play guard in Rd 3.  

I just don't see the short-shuttle, gets open NOW-type WR in the 2nd to 4th rounds and if everyone wants to hitch their wagon to Boyd and Higgins, I suggest they watch the all 22 tape from the baltimore and steeler games.  No one was open.
