Skeptics must expect these guys to be Pro Bowlers year 1.  Wilson is our best LB, end of story.  ADG flashed but still looks a bit like a square peg in a round hole.  I thought they would keep him around 229 and have him play as a third safety....they went the other way and he looks BIG and not as fast.  I hope they turn him loose as a pass rusher against Lamar Jackson.  That has always been his highest grade...in college as well...as a pass rusher.

Adeniji came in and played tackle very well, but declined as some weak areas were exposed. Fine.  He played a lot of time as a rookie with no camp or preseason and graded out better than a veteran like Fred Johnson.  I will take it as a 6th rounder.  

Khalid Kareem was being rated higher than Dunlap (quitter 2.0).  He allowed them to get rid of that Cancer.  And as a 5th rounder.  

We have seen very little of Bailey and I still have high hopes for him.  That guy has great instincts and if he can be healthy, I think he, Wilson, and Pratt will form a formidable LB starting corps.

I have no idea how you do better than 6 picks getting significant playing time and a 7th getting a few valuable snaps here at the end.  Yes, Burrow was a no brainer, but a lot of people wanted to trade out and get a haul of picks....nope.  Burrow was the right pick, and many people also wanted a LB in the 2nd round.  Yet, they went with Higgins and he went out and broke a 20+ year Bengals rookie receiving record.  

This draft was excellent.
