Our pass rush needed work.

[Essex Johnson]

Felt not ready to start , prefer a starter in 1st but lou has down well with def picks so trst system

[Essex Johnson]

I prefer Nolan Smith for defense, man

[WeezyBengal]

Keep stacking those lines. I like it. We had like zero edge pass rush other than Trey.

I know a lot of people wanted Mayer but I'm so glad we passed on him. TE just isn't a premium position, especially in this team when you have Higgins and Chase.

Bengals needed a pass rusher... I don't know enough about this guy but they say he's a freak athlete.

Think the Bengals have earned our respect lately in the draft so no reason to believe this won't be a solid pick

I like it. Build that dline rotation. We need pass rushers. Sounds like a smart, fast player.

Yeah losing Trey to injury would be a big deal, but long and short term this pick fits.  They can beef him up a few lbs and rushing him at UT at times if needed.

Good video. Seems like a high risk high reward pick. I trust Lou and his ability as a DC. He 100% deserves benefit of the doubt.

Certainly understandable. But Smith is more of an OLB and we play 4-3 most if the time. I would have been fine with Smith, but there is no spot for him in our standard lineup.

Nolan doesn’t fit our defense. If we were a different team, I could agree with you, but a base 4-3 doesn’t suit him best.

Came here to see how I should be feeling about this pick. Looks like i'm feeling pretty good.

What are your thoughts? Or did you just want to be the first to start the thread.


Wasn't my first choice, but if their goal is to have an elite pass rush rotation then I am not against that plan. I hope they grabbed the right guys to get it done.

Stupid ass pick... Mayer sitting right there, and you take some bum ass DE from clemson.. Sickening...

[Bengal Dude]

Let's see what Hobby can do with him.

Well that's no way to welcome your new Bengal player. Whether you like him or not.
