We'll see. He'll either be a goodun or he won't. Smaller college prospects sometimes are like that.

Im actually starting to like the guy. He might drink as much as I do.... and I'm from WV.

Jason Peters is who I have been expecting after the Draft to come in.

Really deep at interior OL in this Draft, we can find some good ones still no problem.

Hell no, not even close, Logan Wilson is ten times the prospect Vigil was. Never even thought Vigil was a thought before
that Draft for us and Marv still went after him. Linebacker whisperer my ass, Taylor's Linebacker picks have been Pratt and
Logan Wilson who reminds me a bit of Kuechly from college film, just went to a small college.

Wilson is a former DB who can cover, tackle and has great instincts.

Everyone was confounded by that pick for damn good reason.

Been tons of scouts and analysts talking up Logan Wilson for damn good reason.

[jfkbengals]

Isn't Burrow's LSU LT still on the board? Anyone know much about him?

IIRC, they just announce the picks in the 4th and on, no more commish or anyone, right?

But that's not the case with wr and lb, which are deep and could create some competition. 

I get people aren't happy with the line as is, but honestly, outside of a couple picks in the first, it's a dart board for upgrading that position in this draft. We could've thrown 3-4 darts with hopes of finding one guy, or we could've used the depth available to address other spots of need.

I get the frustration some people have, but there's just not a lot of ol guys in this draft that are likely to make an impact on any team next year.

Every year guys that get drafted late, or even UDFA, end up winning roster spots and sometimes starting. The draft is a crap shoot because ALL these guys are unknown at the NFL level. So, even if you’re not sure, you still gotta roll the dice and let them compete.

I think in the Second and Third they had former players announce teams picks. 4-7 is just announcing...I think

They started announcing the picks in 2012 or 2013, it was the deputy commissioner I believe. They just very seldom aired them, but you could always see someone announcing at the podium behind the sets. Then 2015 was when things changed and they started having picks announced at draft parties and other special events. No idea what the plan is this year, but I expect it to be Goodell.

Yup, thought so.

Someone makes an announcement, but it's not Goodell.

In fact, he doesn't do the 3rd round, but in this case he kept it so they wouldn't have to touch any of the tech.
