Building in the trenches.

Love it.

We need to take an offensive lineman next pick, but I'm liking that we're building a pass rush.

That's how the Giants beat the undefeated Pats: pass rush.

We just gotta hope Lou attacks and finds creative ways to bring the rushers.

Like this Falcons pick.

You can't just pick oline to pick oline. The value needs to be there. The last two picks at edge were great value and I'd rather stick to value to be honest. At some point G/C will have value when we pick (lots of picks left)

How is Brevin Jordan still on the board at this point?

[lone bengal]

Wanted Hudson but Cleveland took him. Hoping for Trey Smith thought he would be gone by now

[Clark W Griswold]

Sample looks pretty lean/athletic for 6’3 280.
I wonder if he could put on 10 LBs or so and play inside?

[coachmcneil71]

The positivity around here is such a breath of fresh air....jeesh!
The supposed consensus top WR, a T that was ecstatic to be a Bengal, two edge rushers with high octane engines; yet the bitching continues.
They're doing just fine so far, plus the trade back was great! Gonna make hay here in the 4th.

Zac Taylor said he likes the state of the Bengals offensive line right now. #Bengals

So might not see much else for the line.

Might being the key word.

Let's hope he was just throwing up a smoke screen.  Doubtful under Mike Brown, but who knows if Taylor is smart enough to do it.

He's a 3T; think Michael Bennett from the legion of Boom!

'Nixon’s reported transgressions include a “dorm-room incident” in the summer of 2018, even though he was not found liable for any wrongdoing. Regardless, several teams have either removed him from their board or expressed moderate to severe concerns with him'.

Arthur Blank comes off like a slimeball. Heard he's a great guy from Atl fans but I get a bad vibe from him

[Essex Johnson]

Are they switching Burrow to Safety ??

[BacknDaDey]

I would like to see Gainwell, RB, Memphis make it to our next pick.

Brevin's interview about how much he loved The U, rubbed me the wrong way

He sounds like a perfect Mike Brown redemption project — and now he’s Jerry Jones’ problem.

another Lb for the Cowboys.

I think that when the third day rolls around you get a lot less people coming in who have less draft interest and more of the draftheads sticking around, so that may explain it. I had to stay away for most of the first two days. lol. 

At this point, we need guys who can play, regardless of position. Sample is a good start for today.

Yes the draft is always a crap shoot and no one really knows how these guys will do in the NFL. I don’t get the hate for kids when we don’t know what they might become. I get some people being upset if the team really reaches (like with Drew Sample) but why not root for these guys to succeed and help your team? No sense getting mad because they are not picking OL. Maybe they don’t have that high of grades on the O linemen left on the board.

He hasn’t been picked yet...

I think Dallas wanted to address their D
