We have Glenn. Can we find a good RG from those 3? I'm sick of seeing blockers unabated to the QB and RBs. That's not how you win football games. You build teams from the inside out. If Marvin Lewis, Andy Dalton, AJ Green, Geno Atkins, etc want to win a Super Bowl anytime soon......they better damn well fix the o line NOW. Not with serviceable players, with GOOD to great players. Andy Dalton will not win you a championship without good protection. So either fix the line, or get a mobile QB that deals with constant pressure better.
The defense is decent enough. Now, if a guy like Derwin James falls to you at 21, then yeah, go for it. I have a feeling that Austin will be more aggressive, and we will see some INTs from our CBs this season. We have Burfict, Lawson, Dunlap, Atkins, WJIII, and potential for playmaking in Dennard on defense already. Preston Brown may be a very nice addition.
This o line needs fixed in the worst way if this team is to make some noise, IMO. I'd like the first two rounds to be McGlinchey/Wynn and Ragnow/Daniels/Price myself.
I think we HAVE some chance the new coaches upgrade guys we already have. ced? He WAS a rd 1 guy, he was EXPECTED to go high. He flopped at LT. Maybe he thrives at g? RT? Fisher also came with a solid resume, and fell short, while Westerman and Redmond didn't get a look then finished the season well. That said ...C was bad and Bodine is gone so.. obvious priority. I saw OSU a few times, I KNOW Price is damn good. Some like Ragenow better. I never saw him. Daniels always is in the conversation. I saw McGlinchey mentioned but I doubt he lasts to #21.
Wynn.. is a top G and I've seen it said he CAN do T and C.
We'll have a sort of plan. We either grab best C at 21, or we don't and hope who we like can be had rd 2. We MIGHT deal to move UP in Rd 2 so we at least get one of the main OC guys. How do we see the top 3 OC guys?
AFTER we do our work for the OL, We WANT goodies elsewhere but frankly, no area looks desperate. All in all......seems we'll aim to add DL,LB,S at some point but will watch for a "value" pick.
frankly, i used to watch a LOT of College ball looking for Draft guys. Lately.. I see less so, can't call a full 7 rd draft, won't try. I MUCH prefer "eyeball" opinion over second hand. Now? Don't have enough input
