So do the Bengals draft a RB this year for depth?

[impactplaya]

Zac Taylor said he wants his RBs fresh for December etc etc.
the Bengals didnt pursue any FAs and the only news we got was Mark Walton doing stupid stuff.
its seems like QBs WRs DEs LBs TEs OTs are going to dominate the 1st Rd which will push RBs down the board a bit.
Im thinking in the mid RDs theres good value to be had with RBs.
I dont think Taylor is sold on Walton.
I can see the Bengals drafting a RB that is bigger framed RB that is more in a power mode.
Mixon and Gio can catch with the best of them.
but this roster lacks a true between the tackles whammer.

Agreed, plenty of backs available in the mid rounds. I hope that they draft a RB, as I was never sold on Walton to begin with.

Ryquell Armstead of Temple is 5'11, 220 and ran a 4.45. He is straight ahead bash heads physical type.

If there's good value there in the mid rounds I'm not against it at all. I have little faith in Walton either so we're just an injury away from being a one back team.

Nice, a short yardage sledge hammer with breakaway potential!

If he's there, I'm a fan of Mike Weber in the 5th.  He hits the hole full speed, has a little wiggle to him when needed, and is good receiver out of the backfield.

My Mock Draft I added to the, who are your Bengals picks in each round thread.   I have Bengals taking Notre Dame RB. Dexter Williams in 5, who is still a pretty elite runner if still on boards.  Now I have Bengals taking Auburn QB Jarret Stidham in 4.  However if he is off the boards, then I see Bengals jumping on the huge list of RB's slated to go in 4, and there are some good ones in this predicted Round 4 rush in RB by many teams. 

Other than Mixon, the Bengals do not have good depth anymore at RB.  I'm sure some die hard fans think so, but compared to other NFL teams, our depth at RB is weak.  Rounds 4 or 5 after Blocking and Tackling have been addressed in first 3 rounds.  Without Blocking Improvement, we will not be able to run or pass against good teams, always the door mat for good teams to walk all over.

Gotta use those five 6th round picks on something.

[Bilbo Saggins]

I've thought for some time now that this team could use a Legarrette Blount type of back.  In an age of safeties at LB and Dee Ford sized guys at RE in 4-3 alignments, you want a few big backs who can run people over. 

[NATI BENGALS]

We better considering how many picks we have and the need for some Walton competition.

[NATI BENGALS]

Sign me up for Darrell Henderson from Memphis.

Averaging 8.9 yards over his last 300+ carries.

43 carries of 15-plus yards and 11 total touchdowns of 54-plus in 2018 alone.

He has that Alvin Kamara like balance

[Mobster]

Still annoyed at them getting rid of so many quality RBs in order to keep Walton. Guys like Carson, Hill, and Williams were all better

I'm hoping QB and RB in 4 and 5.   Stidham in 4 if he's there.  If he's off board and no top QBs fell, then a RB in 4 and a QB in 5.   TE in 6.  

It doesn't mean anything if we don't get an Offensive Tackle and a Linebacker for BLOCKING and TACKLING which Bengals are lousy at.  We could also use one of the talented 6' 200 lb  Defensive Backs that will be going off the board in Round 2, since new coaches say NFL teams are in nickle D 80% of the time.  Then we better add a big talented monster DB. 

Rounds 4 and 5, I'm hoping QB and RB.  I question our depth at both positions.  Plus, as Paul Brown use to say, it's hard not to take a good QB or a good RB.  The new coaches will want a non Marvin QB pick.  They will also want a non Marvin RB pick.  

Eifert injuries suggest covering rear ends with a 6th round TE.  There could still be good talent on board at TE in 6. 

YES, I see us taking a RB.  After Mixon, we are not as solid as many other teams. Until we get some blocking, we could use 100 RBs and 100 QBs.  These guys better learn to Block.

We're talking about RB3/4, no need to take before Rd 5 IMO. I personally like Myles Gaskin and LJ Scott as Rd 5-7 options.

[BengalHawk62]

what if we took David Montgomery in the 2nd?  mixon and Montgomery in the same backfield?  that's a pretty nice RB tandem we'd have.

You willing to sacrifice the team going potentially weak(er) at OL, LB, DT, or TE for the sake of a third 2nd round RB? I'd honestly be irritated if they took another RB that early.

[BenZoo2]

With 11 picks I’d imagine we take a rb to push Walton. I’d love to get Bryce love and red shirt him a year but I think he’s gone. I wouldn’t take a rb until the 6th unless a really good falls way to far

There's plenty of late round options or UDFAs that could push that role, so I'm not too worried about. Taking any earlier than the 5th or 6th seems like it would be missing out on a chance to fill a different hole.

Jalen Hurd RB/TE combo player

Henderson would be the anti Mark Walton pick.
