Then who might be a Blocking Tackle or DB that looks like a top notch athlete who might be on the board late in Round One. It's OK, to throw out several names of Tackles or DB's that look like they could be there late in One, without mentioning the players they could get in rounds 2 or 3.
Interested to hear your feedback on Blocking Tackles or DB's, two areas the Bengals could now use some help, maybe more than TE. Coach Taylor says they are going to take players who are a Good Fit. I would think Protecting Joe Burrow is still Top Priority and replacing some of the DB's Bengals lost would also be somewhat important since they play 5 or more DB's most of the time.
So who you got for Bengals at Blocking Tackle or DB ??? As in the Knute Rockne movie, nothing against QB's WR's, RB, but Winning Teams can BLOCK and TACKLE.
I'll throw 3 names CBS Sports has that might be there when Bengals pick, and all 3 are Offensive Tackles as Best Available Athlete. Broderick Jones- Georgia, Darnell Wright- Tennessee, Anton Harrison- Oklahoma. I'll add Paris Johnson Jr of Ohio State just in case he falls to us, which he probably won't. All Big Tackles to Block for Joe Burrow if Jonah Williams decides to sit out if not traded. Now CBS Sports doesn't have them as later round, CBS Sports has them as First Round Best Available Athletes. So it seems there are Blockers For Burrow in this Draft. So I'm seeing DB and TE as more of second day Round 2 and Round 3, unless there is an amazing DB or TE when Bengals draft late in One.
Again, in case not a TE, do any of you like a Blocking Tackle or DB in this Draft in Round One, and if so, Who ?
Pretty solid take, Kevin. This draft is deep at DB and TE. With Washington's size and athleticism, he could be the outlier. Obviously, it depends on their draft board, but there should be some good DBs and TEs to be had after RD 1, no doubt.
