Basically the same as my first one, except I'm not taking a defensive end in the third and I'm taking Pat Freiermuth instead because of what he could do for our offense. Hopefully we can find another pass rusher in free agency and maybe Bobby Brown comes in and lights it up.
The change is bolded and underlined. I'm LOVING this draft now!
1. Ja'Marr Chase WR- LSU
His talent at receiver is pretty unbelievable. He does his best damage outside of the numbers and teams have to keep a safety back to stop the deep ball, which opens things up for other receivers and doesn't allow teams to stack the box because give him an inch and he'll smoke you. Keeping the defense back also opens things up for our other big play threat: Mixon.
That would also give Burrow a familiar target, keep him happy, and form a duo that could be nightmares for defenses for years to come.
2. Samuel Cosmi T- Texas
A lot of people want Leatherwood but I think Cosmi is the better pass protector and Burrow needs the blocking more than Mixon does.
He can play right or left tackle at a very high level.
3. Pat Freiermuth TE- Penn State
He might not even make it this far but, if he does, you have to sprint to the podium yourself to announce the pick.
This guy can make all the catches and run all the routes- over the middle, deep, along the sidelines- and he can also dish out punishment or make catches when taking big hits.
You want to keep one safety deep to cover Chase and one in the box to stop Mixon? Ok, who guards Pat? A backer? Good joke.
Freiermuth would be a mismatch for whoever they try to guard him with and just adds a weapon that we've never had in Cincinnati. I think he'll be a better all-around tight end than Pitts and is a better fit for our team, especially in this division.
It would also make us real tough to stop in the red zone.
A tight end like Freiermuth is a young quarterback's best friend, especially coming off injury like Burrow is.
If he lasts to the third, you HAVE to take him.
4. Kendrick Green G- Illinois
I would have LOVED to take Wyatt Davis earlier because I'm an OSU homer, but I think Green could be GREAT for us!
He's explosive- tying for the most FBS lead in big-time blocks last season, and that's what I want from our interior offensive line: MAULERS.
His pass protection may need a little work, but I like his potential with Pollack coaching him up.
5. Bobby Brown III DT- Texas A&M
Losing Geno hurts but I think we Brown can cause some damage if we just find ways to keep him motivated. Make him earn his spot and maybe even just rotate him in at first. Install discipline and make him know that he has to go hard every play. Hopefully, the vets and coaches can keep him motivated because I think he could be something special.
6. Anthony Schwartz WR- Auburn
I originally picked this guy in the 5th round, so hopefully he makes it to the 6th.
Another speedy receiver to give defenses fits deep? YES PLEASE! Needs to refine his route running a bit, but you can't teach speed at 4.27! I think this kid has AMAZING potential!
6. Robert Rochelles CB- Central Arkansas
He's a playmaker coming from a small school that has opened eyes around the NFL. Needs to work on things like turning his hips to run, but polishing up his game a bit with some solid NFL coaching could make him into a hell of a corner.
7. Evan McPherson K- Florida
It's time to quit messing around and invest in the position that can win or lose games and make or break seasons. He's the best kicker coming out. Draft him and don't ask questions.
