Every Year there is a post regarding a 20/20 hindsight re-draft. The rules are simple: If you could re-do the Bengals draft with the knowledge of the 2018 draft outcome, what changes, if any, would you make. Please do not add any trades. Keep picks at their natural slot. Good luck! The Winner of the re-draft will be judged by Forum Members and receive an awesome photo of my cat Joker and praises.
21) Price, OC: The man-child would remain my pick because of intangibles and leadership
46) Bates, FS: Center fielder is what the Bengals needed to help corners over the top
77) Harrison Phillips, DT: A beast with good hands, next to all-pro Atkins
100) Brown, OT: A mammoth of a man that would help in the running game
112) Shaquem Griffen, OLB: Speed at SAM backer
151) Cruikshank, CB/safety: Good for zone coverage
158) Settle, DT: Bengals version of Vince Wilfork
170) Darius Williams, CB: Keep the speedster kick returner
249) Ferguson, QB: Josh Allen lite. I liked this QB better.
252) Taylor, OG: Move this big man to interior line.
253) Tate, WR: I was thinking Lazard here but Tate appears to have more potential
21) Price
54) Justin Reid, FS Stanford - I liked Reid more than Bates.
77) Mark Andrews, TE Oklahoma - Prep for when Eifert, Kroft, and/or Uzomah leave in FA next year.
78) Jefferson
112) Maurice Hurst, DT Michigan - I would have taken the gamble on Hurst here.
151) Tyrell Crosby, OT/OG Oregon - Road grader on the right side to challenge Fisher/Westerman
158) Duke Ejiofor, DE Wake Forest - Wouldn't have thought Ejiofor would have fallen this far. Good strong-side DE depth.
170) Phillips
249) Woodside
252) Josh Adams, RB Notre Dame
253) Eddy Pineiro, K Florida
Zac Taylor 2019-2020: 6 total wins
Zac Taylor 2021-2022: Double-digit wins each season, plus 5 postseason wins
Zac Taylor 2023: 9 wins despite losing Burrow half the season
Zac Taylor 2024: Started 1-4. If he can turn this into a playoff appearance, it will be impressive.
