My Post Minter/Smith Draft

[Whatever]

It's kind of a draft that's both good and bad to me.  

Barnett isn't worth a Top 10 pick, IMO.  However, when combined with Njoku in 2 and Mixon in 3, the first two days fall great.  You get your legit Top 10 talent in Mixon, plus two other first round talents.  You got your pass rusher and a pair of great weapons for the struggling offense.

However, the third day is just brutally bad, if I'm being honest.  

Douglas will have a hell of a time making the roster.  We are absolutely loaded at CB and Jones isn't going to be cut.  Shaw and Russell are our 5 and 6, and we have that CB we signed whose name escapes me fighting for a spot, too.  Even if he makes it over those guys, he's not an appreciable upgrade, and he won't make it to the PS if cut.

Toth's stock has been falling and I see him going in the 6th in a lot of mocks.  I'm not sure if he can beat out TJ for the backup C spot, especially with the Bengals valuing versatility and TJ's ability to play G.  We could very well be trying to sneak both 4th rounders onto the PS.

I really don't see Jermaine making the roster, either.  Bolling is safe, Westerman was rated as high as the 2nd last year, and Andre has been declared the starting RG.  W won't keep 4 G's, and if there's an injury, they will likely keep Toth and TJ.

H-C can probably push Fej off the roster and Reynolds should stick and be able to contribute in a year or two.  The others will have an uphill battle to make the roster, but should be able to be developed on the PS.
