Year Out Full First Round 2017 Mock

[*ochocincos*]

More RBs taken in the first round than WRs?
Heck, in what was considered a weak WR class this past draft, there were still four WRs taken in the first round and just one RB.
In a league that devalues RBs as a whole and puts a premium on pass catching options, you have to expect more receivers than RBs selected early.

I expect JuJu Smith-Schuster will be the first WR taken and Mike Williams will also go in the first round. There also will likely be another 1-3 WRs taken. Perhaps in the mix of underclassmen like Travin Dural, Isaiah Ford, and Malachi Dupre.

I'm with you on the top need being a DE for the Bengals. I can also see OL if Zeitler leaves in FA, Bodine struggles again, and Westerman isn't progressing to be a starter. But I'm hoping Zeitler stays and one of Bodine or Westerman becomes a good starting option at C. Last possibility I think for the Bengals in the first round could be LB, as both Rey Maualuga and Vontaze Burfict could hit FA after 2017.

My early semi-realistic hopes are landing one of Demarcus Walker (DE FSU), Reuben Foster (LB Alabama), Raekwon McMillan (LB OSU), or Ethan Pocic (C/OG LSU). A pleasant surprise would be JuJu Smith-Schuster or Mike Williams, but I don't think the Bengals would go WR in the first round after just taking Boyd this year.
