1. Soloman Thomas, DE - Stanford. Sure, we need to fix the offense, but the value in that is later on in the draft.
2. Dan Feeney, OG - Indiana. As good of a guard prospect as we've seen lately. Can also play center.
3. Pat Elflein, C - Ohio State. Plays center and guard. Should have the interior of this offense shored up.
3c. Joe Mixon, RB - Oklahoma. Talent-wise, as good or better than any back in the draft.
4. K.D. Cannon, WR - Baylor. Gives us the field stretcher that we need.
5. Zane Gonzalez, K - ASU. No explanation needed.
I'm not going to pretend that I know the rest of the 6th and 7th rounders to take a shot at them. I'm hoping that Dre re-signs and that Thomas gives us the pass-rushing boost we need.
I like all of this except for Mixon. If Thomas or one of the top edge rushers isn't there at 9, I could see a QB-hungry team trading up and maybe the Bengals like a player like Pocic at C with the first rounder....Then that third rounder could be used on a solid LB to pair with Burfict and Vigil.
