I would like them to get more than just a second for dropping out of the top 5 all the way to 14 to 16 but I do like Jaelan Phillips he has all the talent you want as an edge and can play in a multiple front scheme at multiple spots. His medicals need to be verified but Phillips is one of the better choices at edge in a weak top end class. Bateman just ran a high 4.3 low 4.4 40 so he has shown teams he needs to be in the convo for a top 15 pick. I also like Dillon Radunz as a guard /tackle guy that could start out at left guard year 1 and develop into a tackle. Radunz shutdown everyone at the Senior Bowl.
I know people are still stuck on Penei Sewell and for good reason the Bengals offensive line has been terrible and anyone who as seen my posts know I've been at the forefront of trenches on both sides win games. However this is one of the deepest offensive line classes we have seen and it's a huge reason we have seen teams comfortable cutting solid veteran offensive lineman. I believe they will have a shot a a couple different guys on day 2 and day 3 to be able to take a chance on a playmaker at #5. The Bengals have signed a tackle and are looking at veteran WRs opening up the draft for who st #5? Kyle Pitts, Micah Parsons, or possible trade back?
