***Official 2021 NFL Draft Thread***

[Beaker]

The debate is over. The Bengals took the BPA...and exactly the guy they should have taken in rd 1.

[Clark W Griswold]

Glad they got Chase
I get people being upset that they didn’t take Sewell but please don’t act like this means Burrow will get hurt for sure. He might and he might not but I think you Sewell fans should consider this - Chase was the higher rated prospect on the Bengals’ (and most people’s) board.
They took the higher rated player so good on them. O line will be addressed later for sure and they already signed Reiff so the line is already better than last year’s.

Chill and enjoy the draft

There will be plenty of options at 38. I had 13 guys I’d take as a day one starter and one is gone. There will be a run on defense at some point but one of those guys will be there at 38.

Probably the fact that we don't have to draft an OT to play at OG at 5 when we can just take the playmaker at 5 and get an OG in 2-3.

Or make a midseason trade for Rodgers when Burrow is killed.  I kid, im sure things will be fine it's just amusing to see the combo of meltdowns versus the bafflingly optimistic. 

[Gdale_Bengal]

They are going to get a great lineman in round 2.

I’ll really worry if they do not pick O line then.

[BacknDaDey]

Wow...the butthurt Sewell supporters! If Bengals had selected Sewell I would have been like good we got the best O-lineman. We chose Chase and I'm like good we got the best wide receiver. It was a win win situation. Damn.

[Joelist]

No Rodgers trade I guess...

Ah yeah no you're right. Burrow definitely didn't get smeared last season. I totally forgot he played all 16 games and won OROY.

Miss me with that toe-eyed cabbage bullshit. We had a glaring obvious need and ignored it because sHiNeY nEw WeApOn.

Can't wait to see them sink the next pick into some lackluster ass linebacker with a 4th round grade.

Can't speak for others, but I haven't underestimated anything about our moves.  I like the Reif signing, and I like Spain and XSF.  I like bringing Pollack back.  But Jonah hasn't passed the eye test for me, and it all starts with protecting the blind side.  4 games out of the season will feature TJ Watt and Miles Garrett on the blind side, and I don't see Williams holding up against that.  Sewell looked to be the kind of guy that could shut that shit down.  Think back to drafting Levi Jones.  Joey Porter was unstoppable when he would play against us.  Jones stepped in and shut Porter down from day one.  That's what needs to happen to get us back into regularly winning games.

This is why the bengals suck year after year. They can’t get out of there own way and make the smart choice. I guess they didn’t watch the last SB and see what an elite quarterback does with a shitty ass offense of line

and as you were told the first time you posted this same stupid comment a few pages ago they can also make a new QB to make sure someone can throw the ball to the new toy.

Xsf played a half a game and spain is a backup at best......

Wrong on both. 

[QueenCity]

Bro if you thought Sewell was going to play OG next year... then chill you don't take OG #5 we going to get a good one in the 2nd round.

I can see if you being upset if you pencilled him in LT or RT HOWEVER that wasn't going to be the case.

Chase was a killer pick and will bring the success that AD/AJ did and hopefully more!
