We Need to Trade Back

As for the guys you picked, I don't know enough about Kaden Prather, but why did he only have 624-4 stat line in 12 games this past season?
Is he really gonna be more like Higgins, or is he gonna be more like Auden Tate?

I'm ok with Grant if needing a NT, but I think a UT is needed more, as I'm not overly impressed with Jenkins as a UT.
I had thought Jenkins may be best suited to add bulk and take the NT spot, or serve as a rotational piece.
Jenkins and Grant have played together though, so Grant may help elevate Jenkins.

I like Kandra as a Day 3 OG, and I'm surprised he's projected to go so late.

I can see Sawyer being a replacement for Hubbard, but I also think Murphy was supposed to be that guy.
I'd be ok adding him though, especially in Rd 2.

Donovan Jackson I'm a fan of too, if he's actually entering the draft.

I've really coveted Grant since I watched him run down that Penn St. RB and take him down from behind. Aside from Rankins, the Bengals only have 2 DTs signed to the team. When he was sitting there, it was a no brainer. I feel like the interior of the DL would be in good shape with any two of Grant, Jenkins and Jackson on the field for any given down. I wasn't so high on Sawyer, until I really looked back at the season he had and the leadership role that he exemplifies. He's exactly the type of guy that Zac was talking about when he spoke of team captains and leaders. Donovan Jackson is going to be a really good Guard and he'll also likely be able to be an emergency Tackle if needed. Honestly, Prather was the "other" WR at Maryland, I never really watched him a lot in games. When I saw him high on the boad at that pick, I trusted his scouting report when it spoke of his size and length to win the contested catches and enough speed that he "glides right through" the defense. I just think that Mason Taylor is going to be a damn fine receiving TE who doesn't mind getting physical when he's not getting the ball.
