I really like him and I am ready to have some ($^@@% bullies on my team. That guy will pancake block, flatten a safety on a slant route, and has incredible agility and speed for a big man. I have no idea why I am seemingly one of the only people that is high on him. But that isn't the reason for my reply.
I think you missed a WR that the Bengals are pretty high on: Bryan Edwards, out of South Carolina. He literally started competing in the SEC at AGE 17....that's ridiculous. I think if he is there in Rd 3, and they got the LB in Rd 2, he might be the pick.
Bryan Edwards, Van Jefferson, Antonio Gandy-Golden, KJ Hill, and Tyler Johnson are the 5 receivers that I have at the top of my list for day 3 if we don't address the position on day 2. Followed by Isaiah Hodgins, Donovan Peoples-Jones, Lynn Bowden, Quintez Cephus and Devin Duvernay at my top choices if we, for some reason, haven't addressed WR until the 5th round.
With Edwards, I like his tape and I like his ability to go up and get the ball, but he's a little too plodding for me to be comfortable taking him at 65. He also never really dominated at South Carolina and has some minor drop issues. I consider 65 a 2nd round pick and that is too rich for Edwards. I'd be pretty frustrated if we took him at 65, especially if one of those top 12 were still there.
As far as Claypool goes, I like him as a prospect, I just am not buying the early 2nd round hype, especially not at 33. If he's there at 65 I'd be comfortable taking him, provided the other 10 are off the board (with Hamler being the one I have below him in that top 12).
