If the Bengals don't take your guy...

[Stewy]

To be honest, i dont have a guy.

I just worry more about getting out of the 2nd rnd without oline, more than getting out of the 2nd rnd without a wr, thus id prefer oline in the 1st rnd.

[Storer50]

I want oline in all three rounds. Then Eskridge in the fourth.

I'd take OL the first four picks if need be. You can't fix an entire team with this poor of a roster in one draft but you can fix position groups, especially if that position group is deep.

[Goalpost]

If Chase is the pick...Mayfield, Meinerz, or Eichenberg. Target Green, Smith or Carman later. Dickerson is the enigma with a 1st round grade but medicals

If Sewell is the pick....not sure that a bpa wr will be there in the 2nd.

I like Pitts also. He just seems like a red zone nightmare with his length, feet and hands.

I prefer Piits too. We will be able to utilize him way more than Chase and get enough OL in the 2nd round. If all fails, he can be YET another blocking "OL". 

[Destro]

They've picked who I want like 4 times in the past two decades. ( or so, didn't look it up ).
I'll just hope for the best and be disappointed.

[Truck_1_0_1_]

While I would prefer Sewell, I don't care who gets picked, thuuuuus...

Sewell at 5:

Marshall at 2 (hoping he's there)
Basham at 3 (hoping he's there)

I don't expect either to be there, but mocks for them are all over the place and who knows?

If Chase at 5:

Meinerz at 2 (he will NOT last to 3. I know he's being constantly mocked at 3, but he isn't dropping that far, believe me)
Basham or Oweh at 3 (again, don't think either will be there, but who knows?)

After the top 15 names in the draft, it is an absolute crapshoot of where players will fall and it's super up in the air.

Same reason I have no interest in the tackle from Stanford Walker Litttle or Davis from Ohio State. No more damaged goods, especially in round 2 or 3 where you need to be getting starters, not projects.

Yup

[Gdale_Bengal]

Because the drop off with X receivers is staggering from rounds 2 on, picking chase seems to give the most value at pick 5.

If the bengals are targeting O Line in round 2:

Cosmi
Leatherwood
Humphrey
Meinerz
Mayfield
Christensen

All guys who may be available at 38. Take one of them and it’s another good to great draft.

Man, Christensen is a really intriguing prospect. He had an incredible pro day and PFF gave him an overall grade of 96.2 this past year, the highest ever given to an o-linemen...scoring over 95 as both a run and pass blocker. Christensen also had the lowest pressure rate since 2014, at .08%. Personally, I think he has the potential to be a very good LG at the NFL level.

How many good people did he play against at BYU though? I'm intrigued by what you say but did he ever face top competition to show how he'd do?

[Hammerstripes]

If you go Chase, then the 2nd rounder needs to be an OG or C/OG. My preferences would be the following (in order)

1. Creed Humphrey. I'm a little concerned about Hopkins coming off an ACL. I think you put the best 5 on the field and either could play OG.
2. Trey Smith. For some reason he's a favorite of mine.
3. Wyatt Davis.

I think 2/3 should be there for sure. I also am fully in the corner that none of these guys that I think will be there in round 2 (Cosmi, Radunz) will be what we need

[bengaloo]

I pretty much want a bunch of OLmen, but anything could happen in round 1 that could change the way everyone thinks the draft will go. There might be a big time run on OLmen that no one expected before we pick in the 2nd, making it a reach to draft one there. Same thing could happen with WR or any position. We may be looking at guys like Jaleon Phillips, Zaven Collins, etc sitting there in the 2nd with a lot of OT's and WR off the board.

All I know is just about every draft expert has a different view of everything and the mock draft simulator sites have a lot of differences on who they list as bpa and what team will do what.

This is an exciting and interesting draft for the Bengals for sure. More so than I can remember in recent years.

AJ McCarron is holding on line 2...

[*bfine32*]

Due to the fact I think Oline is a bigger need than WR; I hope we go Chase in the 1st and oline in the second.

Going back the last 5 drafts: our 2nd rd pick has had a better rookie season (and career in most cases) than the 1st RD pick:

Willie Jackson
Tyler Boyd

John Ross
Joe Mixon

Billy Price
Jessie Bates

Jonah Williams
Drew Sample

Joe Burrow
Tee Higgins

If they take Chase, whichever lineman falls (Cosmi, Jenkins, Radunz, Leatherwood).  

If they take Sewell, Carlos Basham Jr. unless Rashod Bateman or Terrace Marshall Jr. somehow fall.

Cosmi, Eichenberg, Meinerz

Marshall, Bateman, Dyami Brown or Freiermuth TE, but I think I would prefer Boogie Basham End.

Also wouldn't mind doubling up on OL the first 2 rounds if we take Sewell.

This would be sweet too.

[Bilbo Saggins]

Cosmi, Mayfield, Eichenberg. T, G, G imo.

So I read this today and it names the usual "NFL Executive" so who knows how true it is, but it is apparently the way one current NFL Executive sees the first round playing out.

At pick 5 the Bengals take Pitts. Says it is actually between Sewell and Pitts at 5.

Again.. no named sources but hope for the Pitts crowd and even as a Sewell guy, I'd have to say if you are going to pass on Sewell, Pitts is the guy you do it for.
