Kipers 1st mock draft 1st round

[SunsetBengal]

Pass on Thomas at 9, the same as I say pass on Barnett at 9. After the top two, there is too much of a drop off to the 3rd best DE prospect, to take him in the top 10.

Any pick in the top 10 needs to be a superior athlete, at the top 1 or 2 of his position class. Which is why I would be elated if the Bengals took either Dalvin Cook or Rueben Foster at #9.
