ROUND 1
13: R1P13 LB DEVIN WHITE LSU
Maybe a generational LB. Great speed and smarts. An obvious need, filled by an obvious pick.
ROUND 2
45: R2P13 OT GREG LITTLE MISSISSIPPI
Best OT available at this point. Another obvious need
ROUND 3
76: R3P12 G BEAU BENZSCHAWEL WISCONSIN
Unlike some of you, I don't have confidence in Redmund or Westerman. This guy's going to be a great NFL guard.
ROUND 4
115: R4P13 LB T.J. EDWARDS WISCONSIN
Edwards is the coverage LB we've lacked for how long?
ROUND 5
152: R5P13 TE DAX RAYMOND UTAH STATE
Solid football player. He's no Eifert, but he's a very good blocker and had success catching the ball even though he didn't have alot of talent around him.
ROUND 6
188: R6P13 C TYLER BIADASZ WISCONSIN
Price looks bad. Tyler BAD ASS would be a certain upgrade.
197: R6P22 WR HUNTER RENFOW CLEMSON
Great hands. Works well out of the slot. If we don't take him, the Patriots will.
212: R6P37 P JAKE BAILEY STANFORD
Meh-Huber looks like he's about done. This kids hits 50 yard punts like it's no body's business.
214: R6P39 QB GARDNER MINSHEW WASHINGTON STATE
Biggest reason to draft Minshew? Jeff Driskel.
216: R6P41 RB DEXTER WILLIAMS NOTRE DAME
Good size. Good speed. Good back up for Mixon.
ROUND 7
229: R7P13 LB GARY JOHNSON TEXAS
His stock is rising, and he might not fall this far, but he's be interesting to throw into the mix at LB.
I know this draft is lacking in an area or two (D-Line & CB), but I did my best with what Fanspeak gave me. I have no idea how we get 5 6th rounders. We could use them though.
It's expected the Bengals will get three 6th round comp picks.

As for the draft itself, early part looks fine. I have a hard time believing a 6th round C would be a "certain" upgrade over a recent 1st round pick at C just a year ago. Price is inexperienced at the position, but he was projected as a 1st-to-2nd round pick across the board for a reason. He is expected to become a very good player in the NFL. At least wait a couple more years before you write him off.
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.
