Don't forget that Hopkins is coming off an ACL.  It's not a given that he's 100% to start the year.  I think C is a huge need as well,

Would love this as well.

No doubt Center is a need as always.

I’ve had Humphrey on my radar since early January. If they take the healthiest C in tge draft you will here my happy cheer for hundreds of feet.

Yeah, Dickerson is damn good when healthy he just isn't healthy often. Creed is the guy I want the most if we go Center.

I think he played hurt late in the year and it's soured fans opinion of him.   Early on he was a high first round prediction.  I don't see him lasting long tonight. I can see us taking him and then Walker Little in the 3rd.

This would be great too, so many options. Even if I am soured on OSU O-lineman lol

I agree. I'm more speaking in terms of the coaches who I think are pretty stupid. They might get distracted.

i read he had some leg or knee issues that caused him to lose some time.  So he was playing thru some problems...

Lol when is the last time we had a good Center?  I think it might go back about 20-30 years.

Rich Braham who retired I believe in 2006.  We havent been able to find a reliable, powerful center since then.

Hop is a good pass protector but not a good run blocker but yeah. Seems like every year I am screaming for a Center.

Yep, I want another Braham. Creed Humphrey please...

Sorry for the type-o on Carmi,,,,I meant Cosmi.He’s projected as starter material.Just used him as an example.Of course there are several others who also would be great picks as well.

[Dr.Z]

Not knocking Hopkins, as he came as a surprise at being a serviceable center after Price fell on his face (literally and figuratively), but it would be so nice to have a upper-tier center. I think I’m just as anxious (if not more) for the day two portion of the draft as I was for the first round. Let’s Go!

***edit to add: lol, just noticed the echoing of the same sentiments in the posts above ... same here! ...I value center a lot and wanted Ragnow so bad the year he was sniped, although I admittedly thought Price would at least be solid despite the reach ***

Dickerson is another in the #38th range. Plenty of OL available where Bengals pick. But I have a feeling the Bengals go different direction.

Just give me someone without an injury history .

Well I guess the front office decided bringing a hometown kid home was better than drafting the best player. Everyone had him going in the 3rd round. Let's hope he works out that's a HUGE reach by the Bengals.

He made it to 38 alright..... but we traded back and got a guy most people were projecting to be a 3rd or 4th round pick. Cheers

I just don't understand why we would draft a guy who just came out of back surgery that makes no sense.
