Just for fun, I went over to First Pick and made a draft. I didn't accept any trades because, let's be honest, those kinds of drafts are almost never real and useful because the Bengals trade so rarely.
Anyway, this is what I got.
Your score is: 21511 (GRADE: A-)
Your Picks:
Round 1 Pick 21: Daniels, James, C/OG, Iowa (A)
Round 2 Pick 14: Goedert, Dallas, TE, South Dakota State (A)
Round 3 Pick 13: Brown, Orlando, OT, Oklahoma (B+)
Round 3 Pick 36: Holmes, Jalyn, DE, Ohio State (A+)
Round 4 Pick 12: Toliver II, Kevin, CB, LSU (A+)
Round 5 Pick 14: Holland, Jeff, OLB, Auburn (A+)
Round 5 Pick 21: Blanding, Quin, FS, Virginia (A)
Round 5 Pick 33: Gossett, Colby, OG, Appalachian State (A)
Round 7 Pick 31: Flowers, Tre, SS, Oklahoma State (A+)
Round 7 Pick 34: Berrios, Braxton, WR, Miami (FL) (A+)
Round 7 Pick 35: Roback, Brogan, QB, Eastern Michigan (A+)
Your Future Picks:
2019 Round 1 Pick
2020 Round 1 Pick
According to the website, the biggest reach I made was Orlando Brown in the third round which, honestly, if that's a reach, it's once I can live with. He was our first round projection at 12 before the combine. So if him running slow and looking non-athletic means we can get his on-field production in the third round, I'm game, 100%.
Everything else was either an A or an A+, so...I'm pretty stoked about that.
We get our starting Center for the next 10 years, our TE of the future in the 2nd round, our day 1 RT in the 3rd round and quality depth on the defensive line, LB, CB and safety in the following rounds to round out a draft that, I'd hope, we could retain most of the players going into the regular season.
What are your guys' thoughts?
