3rd, Cushenberry C/G, LSU
If the Bengals don't get the WR out of LSU, why not get Burrows Center?

I’m not big on the LSU wr Jefferson. If we go WR it should be Mims or no one imo

If not Ruiz in round 2, Cush would be good consideration in round 3. I also like Simpson there.

Belongs in the Draft Forum Neb.
Would love to get Cushenberry in the 3rd if he can play RG.
I like Jefferson but he has played Slot most of the time and that is Boyd's spot.
I am liking Claypool more and more the giant WR that runs a 4.42 out of Notre Dame.

I like Mims quite a bit too, just pushes off a bit. But he is good at it lol

Didn't watch LSU all that much. Could he beat out Trey for starting Center, because I doubt that. If he could play guard it might make sense. As for Jefferson, yeah he's a slot guy, so we have Boyd there, but the concensus is it takes a receiver 3 years to get there in the NFL, so he might be Boyd's future replacement

He probably won’t be there at 3. He’s going to go higher

If we land Cushenberry in the 3rd, that'd be incredible.
He has starting potential at both guard and center and would probably start day 1 over XSF.

I agree. But, if they could draft in the 3rd I would be happy. Can play C or G so he gives the team a little versatility in case of injury.

If they want to give Burrow a familiar target, I'd prefer TE Moss in the 4-5 range...
A Draft of Claypool and Thadeus Moss would be fantastic for Burrow.
Let alone getting Cushenberry here at RG.
We have stocked up on Defense, time to stock up the Offense and help Burrow out.

I don't see Cushenberry beating out Trey at Center and Trey is a much better Center than he is a Guard so yeah, think Cush
would be a good fit at either Guard position but RG is the position open at the moment. Guess I could see that with Jefferson,
just think we have a bigger more immediate need on the outside.
If Jefferson could play on the outside I would be all for it. Just think we ought to get a WR we know can play there.

What's the logic behind this?
I assume it's because Jefferson will primarily be relegated to slot, and that's where Boyd does his best work?
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.
Sorry for Party Rocking!

Cushenberry is an excellent talent and can play guard as well. He's right there with Ruiz as the top interior offensive lineman in this draft.

I really don't care who the Bengals draft other than Burrow. I just think if Burrow has a teammate from LSU, be it a WR, TE or C/G it will be an advantage.

I think he might beat Trey out at Center. That way, Hopkins could slide over to Guard. Which is what he played in college at Texas...

Hopkins wasn’t very good at guard in the NFL though.

True enough. But wasn't he hurt his first couple of years?? Maybe being healthy would allow him to be the road grader he was in college...

If he is there I'd absolutely do it.
Also, I'm of the mindset until we're sure we can get it done with less that we should keep 10 Olinemen on the roster of 53 (10 Oline, 6 WRs, 2 QBs, 7 TEs and backs).

Too early to tell.
Mocks are just to difficult to do after the first 10 or so picks, and heavily dependent on who else is there as well.
