***Official 2021 NFL Draft Thread***

I can get behind this draft so far. I wanted oline and pass rush above all. They addressed those in the 2nd and 3rd. We got an elite WR in the 1st. We have great draft position to add to the oline in the 4th, and get depth at corner and other positions.

[Nicomo Cosca]

I feel like we’ve taken a day 2 LB the last 37 drafts in a row...

[Hammerstripes]

Very good pick.

[Joelist]

The player has potential but Lou's system is possibly the worst system in football for LB to develop in.

[Truck_1_0_1_]

He's much more of a DE than LB, people.

He's the new Lawson, just won't get starter reps.

100% agree but shouldn't he be more of a pass rusher? I don't see him playing off ball that much.

Meanwhile we punt on truly fixing the OL. One pick was not enough, we needed back to back MINIMUM.

We could trade back up

That edge pic was an outright steal.

Yeah I see him as a pass rush specialist and not a MLB or standard 4-3 LB. He's more of a 3-4 OLB/DE.

Will the Bengals use some of their capital to get back into the 3rd or will they take 3 4th rounders?

[NUGDUKWE]

Well depending how the rest of the 3rd rd goes. If it looks like they can stay put and still get guard with they're first pick in the 4th they could use the other two for a traditional DE and a safety.

I see him as a situational pass rusher until his game is more polished. Great athlete and hard worker just needs to learn the game a bit more.  

[Au165]

He’s EDGE, don’t get caught up in them saying linebacker.

Just say no to Meinerz. That dude is too much hype.

[BoomerFan]

I like our 3rd a lot. Good value, will be helping our pass rush for years to come.

He is an EDGE player. Had to play more LB this past season because of injuries to other Texas LBs. He'll be a 3rd down pass rusher for us.

[CarolinaBengalFanGuy]

Wait this is who everyone wanted in the 2nd?

Damn Arthur looking ass

[*Synric*]

WR, Guard, Edge... Pretty much as predicted by most people.

Ok, Chris Hansen.



Meh, sorry I think I've cycled back to page one of my joke book.

[Bilbo Saggins]

Ossai has great potential as a zone blitz type of guy. Seems very strong for his size.
