1st Round - Emmanuel Forbes CB Mississippi State: Playmaking Corner to really put our Secondary in the tops, he is light
and needs to put on some weight but this guy could be a stud for us in the future and be an All Pro type Corner, great tackler, great
in coverage and is a ballhawk.

2nd Round - Keeanu Benton DT Wisconsin: Big DT that can stop the run and rush the passer, helps soften the blow if DJ leaves
after this season.

3rd Round - Roschon Johnson RB Texas: A RB that can pass block and catch the ball out of the backfield and is a thumper. More
talented than people think, Roschon Johnson has good vision and burst.

4th Round - Josh Whyle TE Cincinnati: Talented TE that is 6'6" and can go up for the ball and is getting better as a blocker, he
was on a bad Offense which is why his production stalled, but that isn't his fault. Very high upside.

5th Round - Kenny Mcintosh RB Georgia: Surprised this guy is falling through the cracks, he has nice quicks and can break big
runs, explosive. With Roschon and Kenny we have thunder and lightning and both can pass protect.

6th Round - Brenton Strange TE Penn State: This guy is underrated, just solid all the way around and should be a solid pro TE.

7th Round - Robert Beal EDGE Georgia: Must of missed why this guy is falling in all the mocks, must be injury or something.
This guy is a very good pass rusher, a good one to compete with Basham and Gunter at End in our rotation.

Thoughts?

Don't know much about Benton but I can see why you would try to have an option behind Reader and Tupou who could both leave.  BTW,  Tufele is still a Bengal through 2024.  Really like him last year in limited action.   I have no idea who else might have been available, but my dream is the Bengals come away with Jones in Rd 2 as a developmental guy at RT.  He could make Jonah expendible.  

Forbes and Johnson are awesome picks.  Would be pumped if we came away with those two the first couple days of the draft.  

I'm not sold on Whyle.  Didn't put up great athletic scores, nor did he have great production.  So-so athlete. 

Love the rest.  Good work, Nate.
