Eli Apple in the 1st.

I'd take Boyd if he fell to us in the 2nd. I know the coaches met with Daniel Braverman -- he's undersized but outworks other players, so that could be another option in 2 or later. That said, I'd prefer Charone Peake -- he's faster and bigger than Braverman and will probably be around after the 3rd round. Peake's issue is he is an underachiever, but maybe that works -- you get a WR#2 who isn't demanding the ball all the time.

# 1....Michael Thomas, Ohio State.....Bengals think he has it all to contribute early.
# 2....Tyler Boyd, Pittsburg
# 3....Jordan Payton, UCLA
# 4....Corey Coleman, Baylor

Bengals say these 4 have what they are looking for in a WR....speed, hands, go up and get the ball, blocking, special teams.

Now how much of this is smoke screen and playing poker on who they really want, we will find out....Weeks ago, Bengals.com posted Collinsworth raving about Notre Dames Fuller, worlds fastest human in this draft. ....

Coach Lewis says with only 7 picks, he would love to trade down and get more picks and he also wants to bring in more undrafted players than ever before

HOW ABOUT LINEBACKERS ???......Bengals like these 4 on Bengals.com video

#1.....Myles Jack, UCLA
#2....Jaylon Smith, Notre Dame
#3....Leonard Floyd, Georgia
#4....Darron Leee, Ohio State

If Bengals really do like these 8 players as they say, don't be surprised if somewhere in the draft one or two don't become Bengals.  We have need for both a WR and a LB....as well as other position needs.

Said 75% chance he won't ever be the same. Sounds even worse than Jaylon Smith.

I don't think it is worth the gamble today, maybe tomorrow for one of them.

Rather go after Jaylon Smith if he is there tomorrow honestly after hearing this.

Jack could get Micro Fracture down the line and keep going, but there is a chance Smith like Marcus Lattimore never plays. The reward may be higher on Smith but Jack has a much better chance of contributing something.

Also the growing into knee thing I am not sure is correct. The reports have been the cartilage is separating from the knee.
