I think Gabe Hall and George Holani provide great value in the 6th.

Think so as well Rotobeast. Gabe Hall I was surprised was around as late as he was, but it happens.
Holani would be my main Returner in this instance. With Chuck Sizzle being used more as the Punt Returner, Holani as the KR.

I think a lot of Bengals fans have written off Latham as slow, but I think he has what it takes to be a day 1 starting RT if needed and he has the added possibility of playing LG if need be in his rookie year. Sinnott in the 3rd is a huge steal and I would be unable to resist Sweat or Hall in the 5th and 6th round, respectively. Bortolini is one of my favorite prospects on the inside in that late day 2, early day 3 range and Allen, while not my preferred big man RB, would complement our current running back room well.
I just have one itsy bitsy teeny objection...
I really don't like Corley in the 2nd.
It's not that I don't think he's a good player. But he requires a fair amount of projection to get to a productive player in the NFL, and I wouldn't be willing to spend a top 50 pick on him.
60% of his routes were hitches, slants, crossing, flats or screens and his route running, in general, leaves a lot to be desired. He had an average depth of target of just 6.1 yards past the LOS. His Yards after catch average was a ridiculous (and likely unsustainable) 8.5. His contested catch rate was just 22.2% and his tracking is not great on deep balls.
He has decent bulk at 207 lbs and 5'11", but his speed, while acceptable, was nothing special at 4.56. He had an RAS of 7.76.
He is elite at breaking tackles and he seems to have great acceleration (although his 40 yard splits are also just good, not elite), but I wonder if he is more of a gadget player who excelled at abusing Conference USA players with no future in the NFL at Western Kentucky to get that extra 8.5 yards after the reception.
I think his ideal role in the NFL is as a slot receiver and gadget player who you manufacture catches for and I don't think he is likely to replace Higgins' production or role, which is what I'm looking for in a 2nd round WR prospect.
My favorite round 2 WR options are Keon Coleman, Troy Franklin, Ricky Pearsall and then any player that may fall like Adonai Mitchell or Ladd McConkey.
But that's just my preference. Dane Brugler has Corley as the 54th overall prospect, so you're right on the money according to his evaluation.
Thanks CJD and understand the concern with Corley, but I stand by it and think he will be one of the best WR's in this class when it is
all said and done. Ricky Pearsall I like more because of his more extensive route tree and better hands but he was taken. All of Adonai
Mitchell, Keon Coleman, Troy Franklin have their questions, Ladd should go early in the 2nd round if not in the late 1st IMO.

Yeah, Bowers wasn't available, had to go with the more likely OT in the Trench King. This just seems much more realistic.
I like ProFootballNetwork's simulator the best because of this right now.

Hall has played DE, as well. He's not a huge pass rusher, but he does have to be accounted for. I like his versatility.

Definitely like Steele later if we don't get a thumper early.
