Fullback Posted March 26, 2019 Share Posted March 26, 2019 I called it here first: The Bengals will trade for Josh Rosen! Their new HC has seen first hand how to salvage a talented QBs career after a dreadful rookie season. Murray and Haskins will both be off the board by #6 at latest. The Bengals almost never trade up, and don't have the draft capital anyway. At their original #11 pick though, all defensive blue chip prospect will be gone. Rosen is just 22yo and would be the 3rd best QB prospect in this draft class behind Murray and Haskins. Cards send back a 2nd or 3rd to round off the deal.

I would be pretty shocked if they take McLaurin first round. I would take him 3rd round but guess the Pats could like him more at take him at 56 if there. AJ Brown at 32 wouldn't shock me at all though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AJ Brown at 32 wouldn't shock me at all though Yeah, I wouldn’t take him there especially as he’s 24 – though I like him a lot. Nothing would shock me with the Patriots when it comes to the draft though, they have a whole different value system and apparently only put like 40 guys on their entire board.

Basically his prime. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's more to do with historically older prospects being less likely to pan out. https://www.sports-reference.com/blog/approximate-value-methodology/ First-round draft picks’ approximate career value based their ages as of Sept. 1 of the draft year, 2000-13 AVERAGE AGE NO.

I thought this exact thing when I heard McLaurin in the first. He reminds me of Troy Brown somewhat, capable receiver (although not necessarily a #1) and is an outstanding special teams player. I think McLaurins floor is a #3 receiver and exceptional gunner on special teams. Not to mention he's an extremely high character guy/IQ guy. The other obvious link would be Indianapolis, McLaurins hometown and they're very familiar with him Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
