Joe Alt looks like a stud, but so did Jonah at Bama and he hasn't been a stud in the NFL just alright. Seems a bit early for
Powers-Johnson also as Synric noted. I do like the guy a lot.
Love the Stackhouse pick, I just think we have to bring back DJ Reader regardless. This would allow Stackhouse to develop
behind a leader for a year and bring him in slower than just throwing him into the fire as our only NT. I guess I like the Conyers
pick, absolutely love the Schrader pick, I think this guy could be great in the NFL, really impressive RB.
You think Sainristil will last to the 6th round? This dude has been playing great lately. Think he would go way before this.
Too bad with Jordan Travis injury in the last game. Damn good QB and would be all for welcoming him to the Bengals.
Good job WhoDeyK
Thanks Nate! Always appreciate your support. I have to be honest, I think Joe Alt and Jonah Williams are incredibly different players. But I was never a big Jonah fan to begin with. Alt just has a rare blend of size and athleticism that Jonah just does not possess. I also think Alt has leadership qualities that Jonah lacks.
I agree with you about bringing back Reader. The best route would be to extend Reader even just by a year to mentor our new young NT. Maybe the Bengals take a different approach this year but I’m bracing for his departure.
I’m glad you like Schrader too. I’ve been disappointed in this RB class, I watch the tape and just feel meh about a lot of them. Then i watched Schrader and kept thinking who’s this guy. The pure determination he runs with is something we desperately need. He plays with passion and runs hard. I mentioned Warren in the mock but I also see a little Pacheco in him too.
Admittedly CB is the position I’ve watched the least. All these high round secondary players lately have me burnt out on that position. I was impressed with Mike and figured I’d throw him in with the Bengals love of Michigan DBs. There’s a very real chance he goes way higher than this
