Pair of Mocks to consider

I like your second draft better.  Every player has performed in college and looks like they love the game.  The ceiling might be lower, but the floor seems much higher.  It also would require getting an edge in free agency.

I think so, as well. When I saw how well the offense functioned with Eric All in the game, and how comfortable Joe Burrow looked running the offense in those 2TE sets, I thought to myself "this is the future of the Bengals offense". When I saw Warren sitting there at 13, it was a no-brainer to jump on another gifted skill position player that truly embraces the physical side of playing football.

Don't sleep on those two OL picks, either. Jared Wilson went to UGA as a Linebacker who had ran a 10.91 in the 100M dash in HS. Now that he's grown to over 300#, he still runs a 4.8 40 and has that elite athleticism that everyone is screaming for in OL. Kanda at Guard is no slouch either, he's listed as a 4.9 guy in the 40 at over 320#. If the Bengals want to become younger, cheaper and more athletic at OL, those two are a great place to start. All I can say is that running the wide zone would now be a viable option.
