Rookies

[*ochocincos*]

It's possible every single draft pick makes the roster this year.

Rounds 1-4 almost always make the roster their rookie year.
Newton has done enough to get a backup CB spot. They also need the depth with Ivey injured. Once Ivey is ready to return, I think Davis will be the one gone.
McLachlan will make it if the Bengals choose to keep a 5th TE or go McLachlan over Hudson.
Johnson is getting his opportunity with Sample out for the year.
Anthony might get the final safety spot along with Bell, Stone, and Battle.
Lee clearly showed he belongs and should get a depth spot.

Couple of the Dline rookies got sacks, Newton looks good, All made some plays, Burton is a beast and it just kept going. I believe we got some much needed depth back. I wasn’t a fan of this past draft at all, but I have to say they are proving me wrong so far. This might be the deepest we’ve been in 10 years or so. Can’t wait for the season to start. Hope Murphy heels up and comes back strong. There are a couple players cut I would mind us grabbing but all in all I’m pretty content and ready. Who-Dey mofos Let’s Go!!!!!

Fixed the D-line for yah, yes Kris Jenkins and Cedric Johnson looked good as they got more snaps and got comfortable. Mims is a stud when 
healthy and Jermaine Burton is crazy explosive and talented with fantastic hands. Fig Newton is about as solid of a Corner as you could draft,
he is extremely smart and will cover as well as possible and is a good tackler. Sure, he got beat by Rome Odunze but so will every Corner he 
faces and all you can do is make it difficult. 

McKinnley Jackson I think will be a fine NT down the road, a lot like DJ Reader.

Erick All and McLachlan also look like steals who can both block and catch and All has big time upside.

Matt Lee is the steal of all steals though as far as I am concerned. This guy is the best pass protecting Center who knows how to avoid penalties
to add to a Burrow lead team.
