I haven't been looking at T much in the draft. I'm kind of stuck on Conklin in FA right now...but with a knee injury and the price tag, it might not be the smartest move.
It all pretty much depends on trades and what they get in return.
I try not to get my hopes up for FAs or even the draft, really. Sure I know who I would take and who I want, but the team doesn't usually do what I would do. Especially when we have multiple 1st rounders. I wanted DeCastro and Glenn the year we drafted Kirkpatrick and Zeitler.
FAs are the same. The only added thing about FAs, is they get to choose where they want to go as well. So even if we offered fair value to the player, they may decide to go somewhere else, for less. Or sometimes they want way more than they are worth and I agree with not overpaying for a player that thinks they are worth such and such.
I was ecstatic when we drafted J. Williams. I didn't expect him to be there. Then of course he gets injured, which made me wonder what the universe has against the Bengals. So if we have the chance at Thomas or Kindley, I really hope ZT does the smart thing and take them. Even if we have the top pick, take Thomas, forgo the QB, though as I said, the team doesn't always do what I think they should do.
We would probably grab a QB and then address OT in the 2nd, probably one that know one ever heard of. Hobson will invoke Whitworth, I will bang my head.
