Besides DK Metcalf or Mecole Hardman, who would you have drafted besides Drew Sample?

"Other than the 2 Pro Bowlers taken within 12 picks of him..." Lol


But to answer the thread, Miles Sanders seems a pretty easy pick. He was taken with the very next pick and could have filled in Gio's role for about 1/4th the money last year, and after his performance would have removed the need to pay Joe Mixon $48m.

Also Diontae Johnson (14 picks after Sample) has shown some flashes of excellence and would have been a great #3 that would have eliminated the need to franchise tag AJ Green this year.

ALSO ALO don't forget that the reason why they were picking 52nd in the first place was because they traded down from 42nd (to get the picks they spent on Renell Wren and Trayveon Williams, so not worth it), which means Pro Bowl G Elgton Jenkins and Pro Bowl WR AJ Brown would have been available at 42.

So that's 6 other picks within the Sample pick and the Bengals original 2nd round pick slot (so not even stretching for a 4th round breakout guy or anything) that would have been much much MUCH better.
