Welcome Jalen Rivers - pally - 04-26-2025
Rivers from Miami is a swing G/T
RE: Welcome Jalen Rivers - phil413 - 04-26-2025
Gotta be happy with a burly traditional RG type with tackle experience. Maybe competes with Patrick at RG and emergency RT. I'm all for it even if he wasn't my top guy.

So, you're saying he's a swinger?

He is from Miami!!
He’s played both left tackle and guard…
RE: Welcome Jalen Rivers - BFritz21 - 04-26-2025
LOVE the pick!
He's a big tackle that just struggled with speed rushers in space, so he'll fit perfectly for us at guard!
At first glance, you look at this draft and think WTF, but it's actually panning out pretty nice when you look into it in more detail!
RE: Welcome Jalen Rivers - M.W. - 04-26-2025
If we drafted offensive players (at all), OG, OG/T is perfect.

Yes at the Combine the announcers hid their wives when he was introduced as Mr BBC
RE: Welcome Jalen Rivers - SunsetBengal - 04-26-2025
He likely would have been a much higher selection if it weren't for his prolific injury history.
Of note, his Father is Keith Rivers. I wonder if it is the same Keith Rivers who once played for the Bengals?

We have entered the true gamble rounds; I like the approach.
RE: Welcome Jalen Rivers - Bengalstripes9 - 04-26-2025
In honor of Kieth Rivers we should call him Jalen ‘pancake’ Rivers
RE: Welcome Jalen Rivers - Clark W Griswold - 04-26-2025
Maybe Volson won’t even make the team? That would make Bengals fans happy.
RE: Welcome Jalen Rivers - NATI BENGALS - 04-26-2025
There he is vs the steelers pick at 2:20
And a couple against eagles pick and board fav ty robinson

This guy could of went in the 3rd. Just some injuries over his career. This guy is a damn good OL. Great pick.
Between Fairchild and Rivers along with Patrick we are way better at Guard this year and we can still bring in a FA if needed.

Miami had 2 5 star OT recruits a couple years ago. Rivers kept 1 of them off the field.
RE: Welcome Jalen Rivers - THE PISTONS - 04-26-2025
BTW he's not Bengals Keith Rivers son.

I shut it down when you said, "just some injuries over his career."

Looks like Pally has some swinging experience in Miami

I was wondering why the caveat if he stay healthy.
Let's hope he is next Anthony Munoz who had major knee injuries at USC.
