It shows how they use a tiered system along with having players listed in order of how the Bengals would take them.I suspect if J. Smith is sitting there at #24, the Bengals will look long and hard at him if he is in their top 10. He may not be due to his major injury, but hard to get a top 10 talent with pick #24 that could be a 10 or 12 year stud.
I agree, it all depends on the team talent and the team board. The Bengals trust their board (especially the top 50 picks so if they are drafting 24th, and the 10th guy is on the board still, they likely would grab him regardless of need. They just did it a year ago grabbing an injured OT with little chance of filling a need immediately.
I am so ready for 2024 season. I love pro football and hoping for a great Bengals year. Regardless, always remember it is a game and entertainment.
