DraftCountdown's Full Mock
#3
I don't really see Kevin Winston being much of an ideal FS center fielder replacement for Stone, but he would probably be ok as a replacement for Battle if team really didn't think Battle should be long-term SS.

Another DE is needed whether they keep Hendrickson or not, as Murphy hasn't proven anything after 2 years, and Ossai is only here this year. If he does well, he's going to be expecting a much larger contract. So Gillotte is good to add whether Hendrickson stays or not.

The Charles Grant selection makes me scratch my head some.
Dude has played 4 years straight at LT, nowhere else.
From what I have heard and seen of him, he MAY develop into a good OL with some coaching, but he's not ready to start this year anywhere.
If Bengals need an upgrade for 2025, Grant is not someone to count on. I'd be ok with him if he was a 2nd OL selected though.

Rd 5 and 6 are just depth pieces, so they're whatever.
Not a big deal if they hit or miss, and they're almost always either guys who need multiple years or development or solid performers in college who are pretty maxed out and will just be ST or limited snap contributors.

If this were the draft, I wouldn't see it being much of a difference maker for 2025 results, maybe not even 2026.
Zac Taylor 2019-2020: 6 total wins
Zac Taylor 2021-2022: Double-digit wins each season, plus 5 postseason wins
Zac Taylor 2023: 9 wins despite losing Burrow half the season
Zac Taylor 2024: Started 1-4. Ended 9-8 but barely missed playoffs

Changes needed to do better in Sept/Oct moving forward.

Sorry for Party Rocking!
