CBS Sports 7 round mock draft

[CJD]

Today, RL White of CBS sports came out with a 7 round mock draft and, man, I think it may be the worst draft I've ever seen for the Bengals all year.

With Mike McGlinchey coming off the board early, the Bengals pivot to taking Josh Jackson, a ballhawk corner who'd be great value if he makes it out of the top 20. The Bengals have a track record of emphasizing corner in the draft, and Jackson could serve as Darqueze Dennard insurance if he leaves in free agency, or as a cheaper alternative to Dre Kirkpatrick down the line.

Considering the Bengals are loaded with 11 picks, they should be looking to move up when the opportunity presents itself on Day 2 and Day 3. But it just didn't happen in my mock, so they stayed put and made all their picks here, something I doubt happens on draft weekend. Jones immediately gives help to an offensive line that needs it. Warner could take over for Vontaze Burfict if the team decides to move on, and the team later adds more depth at the position in McCray. Holland brings depth to the defensive end rotation.

Kelly is a talented back who could be the long-term No. 2 behind Joe Mixon. Ateman adds depth at receiver and serves as an insurance plan for John Ross. White offers nice value in the fifth to come in and push Shawn Williams. Pryor brings more O-line depth and could start down the road. Atkins can compete for a roster spot on the D-line, while Springs is a dart throw at corner.

A CB in the first is terrible. Jones is a reach in the second. Warner and Holland are depth in the third. depth at RB and WR in the 4th and 5th. Throwaway depth at safety and G to finish the 5th round and then who cares about the 7th round.

I don't see a single impact player here. Especially not in the rookie year. And no Center or even guard that has the potential to start is just unforgivable.

Am I seeing this wrong? What was he thinking when he made this?
