Story I have been hearing is that for whatever reason Willis has fallen out of favor with the Titans staff.

because he's terrible

Ojulari. More edges, please.

Cannot believe Branch is still there. My goodness. We don't really need another CB/S type, but if he staring at us at 60....I might reconsider.

Musgrave gone.

Musgrave gone

[*Synric*]

There goes Musgrave... I doubt Kraft makes it to 60 now. Word is Washington medicals will cause him to fall to day 3 that's just rumor though.

I go back and forth on stock piling lower round picks. In theory you can fill a lot of holes, and find some gems. In reality the Bengals, have gotten next to nothing from their 4th and later round picks for some time. At this point I would rather see them spent to get back into the 3rd or improve 1st and 2nd round positioning.

The selections are looking good for the prospects I would like to see taken. Keep it up draft!

i wouldnt touch D Washington Synric.........CB's and RB's are fallin

[Isaac Curtis: The Real #85]

I think Washington & D. Jones may be the White Castle guys for Rd 2.

No RB worth taking in Rd2 for me. With you on CBs.

Bengals spent @ 25% of their defensive snaps last season in a 3 safety set. I would have no problems with a guy like Branch being added. He and Dax would provide incredible flexibility for Lou.

I wouldnt pick Washington for a heavy passing offense like the Bengals but a 12 personnel heavy run/playaction team he fits like a glove.

Need to address the 3 needs (I would say 4 but it's pretty clear they're rolling with Volson come hell or highwater) on offense at some point. Plus still need to grab a punter in the later rounds, too. Can't just spend all your picks on backup defensive players.

[OSUfan]

Well that is a bummer. One of my favorite linemen in this draft. Tippmann is a really great player. Could be the next Humphrey at center.

Branch is just so unathletic. I’d rather take best CB who will also play a lot.

I do not believe your stat. It is BS. 

Defensive snaps: 
Bell: 1,024 
Bates: 1,017 
Hill: 131 (most of those at CB when Hilton got hurt) 
Thomas: 25

He was not utilized as much in the passing game because Georgia has Bowers. That does not mean he can't do much more in the passing game and there really is nothing that points to him not being able to do more in the passing game. He actually appears to be a pretty natural pass catcher.
