***2023 NFL Draft Thread***

[Whatever]

The Browns always take the massively overhyped prospect that falls and proceeds to do nothing. See Greedy Williams and Mack Wilson.

Drafting 2 RB's this late I think would spell the end of Mixon for sure. Why?  Because I'm getting the building feeling that the Bengals are less interested in RB a a runner first thing.  I think they want a complete back in all three phases with a de-emphasis on the ground yards.  Why?  Because Perine showed them that even a backup can get yards with our line, and with him in on 3rd down it wasn't dead giveaway as to what we were going to do.  We don't need a runner to be a stud on the ground.  We need them to be a well rounded weapons in all three phases and perhaps you can get two of those on day 2.

Agreed, I doubt we take 2 of anything today. 

Pitt getting Wasington and the Browns taking Jones has me salty, though. Real salty.

According to James Rapien, the Bengals had no intention of taking Washington. I'm guessing we're one of the teams who medically disqualified him.

Love seeing teams’ fans/season ticket holders announce picks. Hate seeing these “influencers” announce them. Leave this for retired players/fans/make-a-wish kids/veterans.
I feel bad for anyone who is actually influenced by someone they saw on the internet.

That seemed to be clear once they were on the clock and traded the pick. If they wanted Washington they wouldn't have traded the pick to gain the last pick in the 6th round.

Im thinking the Bengals draft Tyler Scott if he is still there at #131

[coachmcneil71]

The 4th Rd . The same Rd that we grabbed Geno in if I remember correctly. I could see DB again here or maybe the DT and Geno clone out of BGSU.

Johnson gone

[Soonerpeace]

The #Bears take a fun one: At No. 115, they select #Texas RB Roschon Johnson, an electric player who backed up Bijan Robinson.

Damn, there goes Johnson.

[*Synric*]

1 round higher than I expected for Johnson. Going to be a really good 3rd down and short yardage back.

[BacknDaDey]

Dang...I was hoping for Roschon Johnson.

Fair enough but these guys dropped like stones for reasons.  Possible neither of them even sees the field because of their issues (injuries/weight).

[Nepa]

Roschon Johnson was the RB that I wanted this round. Good pass protector and can push the pile to get those short yardage first downs.

I was going to agree with you, but then realized we are on the internet so I'm conflicted now.

Brooks had 10 sacks but he played in the MAC.  I dont know if I would take him in the 4th, maybe look at him in the 5th

[coachmcneil71]

I think the staff is expecting T.Williams to break out this year, and he just might.

Yeah and those of us, like yourself, who have been around a long time are REALLY difficult to influence.  Just look at the P&R - lol

The whole "influencer" thing seems odd to me.  These people straight up tell you they are trying to influence you and yet everyone is ok with it.
