I'm going in fully confident that Elliott will be the greatest kicker in Bengals history and if I'm wrong I'll send someone a small bag of sawdust as long as they pay the shipping..
I'm already envisioning the scenario where Elliot is absolutely outstanding the entire season until that one missed FG when we're winning by 20 points and suddenly Elliott will be the worst pick in Bengals history..
Ok, just kidding. I have not the first clue how the pick will work out, but I am hoping he turns out to be a great kicker and puts Turner in Baltimore to shame. Now wouldn't that be nice?

Siragusa or Davenport would have been worth considering with one of the 4th round picks, as well as Asiata in the 5th round.

Elflein or Pocic at 48 instead of Mixon or Davenport at 128 instead of Malone.
I would have been fine with only selecting one WR or taking a RB on Day 3.
EDIT - I should clarify that if Elflein or Pocic were taken, remove JJ Dielman.
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.

Should have traded up in the 2nd and got Robinson or Lamp or traded up in the 3rd for Pat Elflein or Dan Freeny.
The Bengals do not have 11 spot open on this team and should have packed some of those later round picks to move up and actually take a lineman that
would have started this year................ but there is zero concern on the oline apparently.......... nothing to worry about.

I'm fine with the draft the way it is.
I have faith in Ced, Fischer and Westerman.
Westerman was projected as high as Round 2. It was an extremely deep OL class that caused him to fall. He was ranked as a top 50-60 Best Player in the draft last year by SI, CBS, NFL and Yahoo. So he's not some bum. He got exactly what he needed this past year, a chance to learn the assignments and bulk up. He will be fine at RG.
