sparky151 Posted January 22, 2020 Share Posted January 22, 2020 Teams prefer to let players carry any injury risk as long as possible. Rookie contracts are pretty straightforward these days but some teams won't sign their 5th rounder until just before training camp begins.

Beck Bristow Posted January 23, 2020 Share Posted January 23, 2020 I stayed up to late doing the hockey. Now I'm super unproductive at work. Here's a mock I just did: 1 Joe Burrow, QB 33 Xavier McKinney, S 65 Josh Jones, OT 97 Devin Duvernay, WR 129 David Woodward, LB 160 Akeem Davis-Gaither, LB 192 Binjimen Victor, WR Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You're probably right, it seems that there's almost guaranteed to be a future starter at the tackle position available in that spot. So much talent there this year.

THE DUKE Posted January 23, 2020 Share Posted January 23, 2020 Whoever we take at 33, there is a good chance it will be a guy that people are saying "he won't be there" right now. Most likely I think it will be an OT or a WR. There will also be some surprise 1st rd picks, there always is, guys everyone has slated for day 2 or even day 3 sometimes.

Sometimes you miss. Thinking that every pick after that is going to miss too is just hyperbolic pessimism. They whiffed on Ced and Fisher too, it doesn't mean Jonah is doomed and we should avoid drafting oline now. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just that they're just as likely to reach for a guy as grab a falling 1st rounder. As you pointed out, they have a history of doing so. They've been mostly hitting on 2nd rounders for a long time now, so i'm not about to doubt their ability to select someone there. I haven't given up on Sample either. TE's notoriously take time to adjust to the league. With Eifert likely gone this year, he'll get more PT. We'll see if they whiffed or not this year. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sparky151 Posted January 23, 2020 Share Posted January 23, 2020 This time of year there are about 50 players labeled as first rounders by someone. When the day comes there are only 32 so the Bengals will have plenty of good players to choose from at pick 33. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've probably heard about a dozen guys "moving themselves into rd 1 with a good senior bowl week" already. Maybe 2-3 actually change their stock that much. Geno Atkins was a monster senior bowl week and we still got him in round 4. Turns out that hype was absolutely real, haha, but I don't think the hype moves boards as much as draft twitter seems to think.

Boyd was a bit of a reach, but we were desperate for receivers that year and he was the last good WR prospect who could contribute immediately. Bates I don't recall being much of a reach, more of a surprise considering Iloka and Williams were on the roster. Plus, once you got to know him as a prospect, it was exciting to add a rangy ball-hawk. Sample, on the other hand, was as bleh a of a prospect as you could muster. He could have been had at least a round later, maybe even two. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Johnny Nix Posted January 24, 2020 Share Posted January 24, 2020 After listening to Tobins comments on various topics I’ve come to the following conclusions: - The Bengals will not be huge players in free agency, will sign a couple mid level players - Dalton will be the only player traded/released - The offensive line won’t see a ton of new bodies added, they seem to like the guys they’ve picked up on waivers - After Burrow, it’s gonna be pretty much all defense and a wide receiver - Mixon and William Jackson are gonna get contract extensions this year with all the money they have to spend. - I think they trade out of #33 to try and get more picks in the draft, maybe do so with other picks as well.

I hope those are the only two that come true. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
