Bengals/Browns Trade
Bengals trade- AJ McCarron and a 5 round pick
Bengals receive- 2 round pick, 4 round pick, and Cody Kessler
 
Browns trade- 2 round pick, 4 round pick, and Cody Kessler
Browns get- AJ McCarron and a 5 round pick
 
Round 1- Zach Cunningham, ILB, Vanderbilt

                Cunningham is everything that the Bengals need at LB.  He is versatile, quick, instinctual, and strong.  He has the ability to play any LB position, and has the quality to start immediately.

Round 2- Corey Davis, WR, Western Michigan

                Davis is the perfect complement to AJ Green.  He is an ideal WR in a West Coast style offense.  He possesses great hands, quick feet, and exceptional route running.  This allows Boyd to play in the slot where he belongs.

Round 2- Pat Elfein, C/G, Ohio State

                Having 2 picks here really helps our depth chart.  Bodine isn’t cutting it.  Elflein gives us the type of quality center we need, with the versatility to play guard in a pinch.

Round 3- Budda Baker, S, Washington

                Baker is a playmaker.  He flies to the ball and uses his instincts and speed to impact the game.  Baker gives us needed depth and quality at S.

Round 4- Taylor Moton, OT/G, Western Michigan

                Moton is a lesser known talent, but a talent.  He has the versatility to play G or T, and the strength/footwork to play well in both the run and pass games.

Round 4- Daniel Carlson, K, Auburn

                Self-explanatory

Round 6- Brandon Facyson, CB, Virginia Tech

                Needed depth at CB.  With Jones aging, Dre a potential FA and a lack of depth, this pick is needed. Facyson at one point was seen as an early day 2 talent, but with a mediocre year his draft stock fell.

Round 7- Keionta Davis, DE, UT-Chattanooga

                Davis is a bit of an unknown to most of the world.  However, he has been one of the most consistent pass rushers in college football the last 2 seasons.  This year he totaled 10.5 sacks with 44 tackles, 11.5 tackles for a loss, seven passes batted and three forced fumbles.  As a junior, 13.5 sacks, 39 tackles, 17 for a loss, six passes broken up, and a forced fumble… and a measly 4 forced fumbles his sophomore year.

I personally like this draft a lot except for 2 things. I don't like Cunningham that early in round 1. I think Williams falls a bit in this draft due to playing against a great corner in Lattimore and doesn't have a good game. So I would take Williams in round 1. Then would LOVE McMillan if we could get him in round 2. With our second round 2 pick I would take his teammate elflien which I have. All the rest are solid.
