Great pick, won't see Jones back in the building

[The Caped Crusader]

Not the end of Williams. Austin wants to run three safety nickel packages. This would fit it well. I like the idea, but I'm not entirely crazy about the pick. I would have rather had an athletic LB.

Is something wrong with Reid?

I like the bates pick, I don't love it. Great to see TJ up there... Hoping for Chad or Reggie Kelly next year

I honestly believe his brother is his biggest problem.

[Schmitbuck]

I'm willing to give them the benefit of the doubt on this one. They identified their guy at safety and traded down to get him at a better value. Can't ask for much more than that.

That’s what George Iloka is for.

Anybody know a website that has UPDATED draft order close to real time?

I think they still only have two picks in the third round

Got the best ballhawk in college football Harley...

Don’t agree. Think about it. We could have done better.

[The Real Deal]

All the safety’s butts on the roster just puckered.

Strongside on a TE?

BS, what Jessie Bates has you cannot teach, you can teach tackling... WTF are people bitching about?

Best ballhawk in college bar none to follow up arguably the best Center.

Crybabies step off.

I'll take our coaches eval over your whining any day

[PikesPeakUC]

From Matt Miller:

OVERALL

Jessie Bates is one of the better true coverage safeties in the 2018 draft class. He identifies routes well and is athletic enough to get into position to make a play on the ball or limit targets. A team needing an over-the-top safety early in Round 2 should be all over Bates.


GRADE: 6.75 (Early Round 2)

PRO COMPARISON: Reggie Nelson, Oakland Raiders

Not really, the guy can cover but is afraid to tackle/hit

1. People bitching and moaning constantly about commercial breaks before/after Bengals picks. Guess what, IT'S NOT SOME BIG PLANNED CONSPIRACY BY THE NFL. 

2. Jackballs still not understanding, 'don't announce the pick before the tv does'. NO ONE IS IMPRESSED THAT YOU KNOW THE PICK BEFORE IT'S ANNOUNCED, BUT THEY'RE SURE AS HELL PISSED WHEN YOU ANNOUNCE IT ON THE BOARD SO STOP IT PLZNTHNX!

Networks should never take a commercial 3 picks before and 3 picks after the Bengal's selection; otherwise it's DISRESPECT!!!

I actually asked to know how far ahead of my stream Broadcast TV is so I cannot monitor the board during that time. Then you have some jackwagon on twitter playing like they have the inside scoop
