Dallas for sure

[MasonDT70]

Well just don't want sample 2.0

[matmaven]

19 picks, 0 WRs, 0 TE, 2 RBs. Highly unusual.

[Isaac Curtis: The Real #85]

Forbes & Kancey were the 3 guys I really wanted on D.

N. Smith is a poor scheme fit, but I wouldn't mind. Murphy less explosive but a better fit, and relentless.

Mayer & Kincaid both still there at TE.

Porter & Banks at CB.

JSN & Flowers at WR.

Who needs to trade up to jump in front of KC and Phl to take them?

No one is going to jump up for a QB. They can trade top of 2, give up less, and still get them

Was thinking the same thing.

Although only one of them being there would be better.

5th year option like LJ.

Unfortunately I think you are right

[Isaac Curtis: The Real #85]

FWIW, trade ups to 24/25 are most likely for us. Jax because the swaps match (#24 & #121) and our (#28 & #92). NYG because they may go IOL & could trade down & still get there guy.

[Joelist]

If we really want one of the 2 top TE I think we will have to trade up or not get them.

Only if they are worth it. Hooker will be 30 the year of his 5th year option. That will turn alot of teams off.

[TKUHL]

Run on TE’s has to start. We can still hope for one of them. Or maybe Banks, Branch or dare I say Porter.

[Burma]

Really hoping 1st and 2nd are some combo of DT and CB. Bengals are going to have 3 absolutely massive contracts on offense (assuming Higgins is re-signed) there is just not going to be the cash to bring in a Hendrickson or Reader type of contributor on D. The D is going to have to rely on the draft for the high dollar impact guys. Not really feeling like going back to the days where Bengals had all world O and just had to rely on outscoring everyone.

Everyone already has guys they like at those positions i guess.


Or they've scouted those positions outside of the projected 1st rounds so much that most teams are comfortable waiting.

[KyBengalfan94]

I want Washington. That kid is just a freak. I know the tight end run is coming soon though

[cinci4life]

JSN to Seattle.

[jj22]

JSN won’t be a Raven. Good pick Seattle.
