I have a feeling

I could definitely see that. And if we were to get Jackson or Hughes I don’t think I could complain too much, provided we still address the Oline needs.

I’m curious as to what you think of Mason Cole. I think he looks promising and if he’s targeted later (3-4) that opens up round 2 as well.

There has only been 3 times in the last 35 years that 3 centers went in the top 50 picks and this crop, while strong, is not monumental in any way in regards to history of the draft.

I expect at least one of Price, Ragnow or Daniels to be there at 46.

So if we draft James/Edmunds/Vita in the first and Price/Ragnow/Daniels in the second, that's a pretty strong first 2 rounds.
Then, if we draft an Orlando Brown or Jamarco Jones in the third round, you're looking at getting pretty good quality at 3 different positions in the first three rounds all while sticking to a BPA approach.

I'm not sure who will be there at 21, but as long as the Bengals don't significantly reach for a player, I have a feeling we'll be getting a good player there, regardless of what position they play.

I think if Da’Ron Payne (he’s visiting PBS today) or Maurice Hurst would be to drop you have to pounce on them as well. But I think you’re right, unless the pick is totally botched we will be grabbing someone with great potential.
