Sorry man, just not seeing it taking the Bengals up the ladder.
Volson is meh, but I like him, and he has far exceeded my expectations

This mock could do a complete 180 if you take a LB instead of a S in round 1. It pretty much makes it bleh otherwise. Do you project us picking up someone promising for LB in free agency?

Edoga is one of my favorites, along with Risner. I also like Adderley but I think White or one of those stud DT would be nice at 11th.

I don't understand the desire some seem to be having over taking an early-round safety. Both Bates and Williams played rather well last year. Per PFF, Bates was rated 12th best safety in the league and Williams was rated 34th, which is good considering there are 64+ starting safeties. Both with 71+ rating, which is considered above average starter level.
The only way I can see this being reasonable is if Williams were to be moved to LB, which we don't know would happen yet. And honestly, I'd rather keep Williams at S and get one of Devin White, Devin Bush, or Mack Wilson to put at LB over taking Nasir Adderley and moving Williams to LB.
As for the OT, perhaps I'm missing something, but I thought Edoga was expected to be a Day 3 pick? Did something happen that would force the Bengals to have to take him in the 2nd round?
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.
