Marcus Williams got a similar deal to what people were discussing with Bates and has been a much more consistent performer. I can't see the Bengals justifying spending that on a worse player. I think Brisker will also be high on the Bengals board. I wouldn't personally take Cine at #31. Keep in mind that Allen played 19% of the defensive snaps last year despite missing 3 games. It would likely come down to injuries as to which played more.
Another possibility is that if the FA market stays slow up until the draft, if they draft a S they can pull the tag on Bates(assuming he hasn't signed it yet) and use that money towards more FA's, but that depends on what's left out there.
I like Winfrey, but I just don't like him at 31.
Brisker is that cover 2 and 3 safety that rotates all over. I wouldn't trust him in the high amount of single high that Bates has to play because it's not his game. Daxton Hill and Lewis Cline both play a ton of single high and could slide right into the defense.
I am now reconsidering Pickens at #31. The outside pressure to draft a WR is to much to happen. I still think is would be a home-run pick for 3 main reasons.
This guy is AC Green 2.0. 5-star in HS. All-SEC freshman year. He got unlucky at UG because bad QB’s. The Covid-19 year in which no OOC games were played to boost the numbers against cupcakes. And a ACL about 1year ago. He returned at the end of the year and dazzled. He is 6’3” 197 and gives of a very AC-vibe. Like Chase and Tee, he is a stout boundary WR but has no fear of the inside routes. He is no Terrel Owens. That would give Zak all the reason to expand his use of pre-snap looks and motions.
Another reason is simple to me. We are going to be faced with decisions very soon innBoyd and Higgins. This assures JB will have JB elite WR for the duration of his rookie contract. Important!
Lastly he is a high-effort positive and would be a perfect addition to the WR room.
And of course he is a George. That accounts for something.
But next year would probably be just as good team-building wise.

I like Dax as well, will watch this vid tomorrow as I get the day off. Thanks brother.

People will roast me for this, but if he is related to Carl Pickens, I want ZERO to do with him. Talent notwithstanding.
Odd you can't find out on web. Like they are trying to keep it a secret. If Carl was my dad and I was hoping to be drafted, I wouldn't want anyone to know, either.

Here we go again...
And for someone who is supposedly a coach, your takes have been constantly and consistently obtuse and/or just bad, since you came on the board.
There's no way in hell we go WR with #31, unless Burks or Williams is there.
