 I understand the CB situation. I think that Apple and Flowers are still in play for Cincy. Both CB and TE are as deep in this draft as they have been in 20 years. That said, none of the CBs in this draft look like box office first rounders to me. Not a Prime, Peterson, Revis, or Riley in the bunch. Remind me please, what round was Riley drafted in? CTB seems to be coming along nicely and I do have faith in this staff, so if they think they have their dude I will live with it. Again ts, I think they can find "that dude" in rounds 2-4. What round was CTB drafted in?  I forget because I'm so young. 

They do need a corner. Awuzie is coming off a knee injury and in his last year of his contract. They are picking at the end of the round where most players have second round grades, so unless Robinson or Mayer are there they don’t get to pick a real premium player. The likelihood of a corner becoming a quality starter in the first is much higher than other rounds. It’s either they have it or they don’t. Forbes has ball skills. He played in the SEC and has the numbers to back up tge talent he had. The best conference in college, not the Sunbelt. What other player you want? Reaching for OT is a bad idea, but getting the guy from Maryland us a possibility in the 2nd. I think he’s a good fit at RT. But what would you like that’s an actual possibility
