SmittyBacall Posted April 24, 2020 Share Posted April 24, 2020 (edited) One of Denzel Mims, Josh Jones, Tee Higgins, Kristian Fulton, Xavier McKinney, Ross Blacklock, Jaylon Johnson and I’m a very happy man. You’ve got to think we lean offense for Burrow’s sake. My guess is it comes down to Mims and Jones.

BengalsBite Posted April 24, 2020 Share Posted April 24, 2020 This is a dream scenario for Bengals fans with Jones and Mims still there. I just hope it’s a dream scenario for the Bengals as well Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beck Bristow Posted April 24, 2020 Share Posted April 24, 2020 No idea. Lots of good options. Don't screw it up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm cool with whatever, but stoked about either a tackle or wideout. Both give Joe some support, and both can contribute day 1. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
THE DUKE Posted April 24, 2020 Share Posted April 24, 2020 I'd stay put with Jones or Mims. I could see Yetur Gross-Matos though. He's what the Bengals like in a 4-3 DE and is athletic enough to be an edge OLB in a 3-4 look. Epenesa is a 4-3 LE, and that's about it.

HangOnSloopy Posted April 24, 2020 Share Posted April 24, 2020 Jones, Mims, Baun, Epenesa, Gross Matos, Pittman, Higgins. All realistic options. We're in a great spot. I think you were right about Jordan Brooks Duke, he would have been the guy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With Ezra Cleveland there as well, I think our best play is to move back 6-7-8 spots and take one of Jones/Mims or Cleveland if other 2 are gone.

THE DUKE Posted April 24, 2020 Share Posted April 24, 2020 Cleveland isn't a plug and play RT. Huge upside and very athletic, but he's not a finished product. I just don't think they can pass on Jones or Mims, both of whom might be gone in 6-7-8 picks. Jones is a plug and play RT with upside. Mims could turn into a WR1 on the outside.

THE DUKE Posted April 24, 2020 Share Posted April 24, 2020 (edited) https://www.profootballnetwork.com/mockdraft/ That site has it so when you start the mock it auto-populates round 1 with the actual results, including the trades. I took Josh Jones at 33 and some of the guys still on the board at 65: Jonathan Taylor Laviska Shenault Bryan Edwards Adam Trautman Lucas Niang Matt Peart Lloyd Cushenberry Neville Gallimore Logan Wilson Zack Baun Malik Harrison Willie Gay Akeem Davis Gaither Antoine Winfield Jeremy Chinn Ashtyn Davis Edited April 24, 2020 by THE DUKE 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beck Bristow Posted April 24, 2020 Share Posted April 24, 2020 I'd basically be happy with: OT: Jones, Cleveland WR: Mims, Higgins DE: Epenesa, Gross-Matos LB: Baun Several other good players there, but I would be slightly disappointed just because I don't see the impact there as immediately. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Johnny Nix Posted April 24, 2020 Share Posted April 24, 2020 Try to trade back a few spots. I think Josh Jones will still Be there with the teams behind us Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
INbengalfan Posted April 24, 2020 Share Posted April 24, 2020 Mims or Jones, in that order. Here's the thing, tho. If we take Mims, we either take an OT at 65 or not bother at all this year. We still need two LBs at some point, and we seem to love them in the third. If we take Jones, we can grab good WRs in the third or fourth. So if we go WR at 33 Mims Wilson/Gay/Harrison Davis Gaither Antonio Gibson If we go Jones.... Jones Wilson/Harrison/Gay Peoples Jones Gibson The otjer thing to consider is how does Dalton figure into this. Can we package him to move up? What about 65, Dalton and our fifth to Jax to move back up into the second? In that case, we go Mims and then try to move back up for Jones or another OT Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
THE DUKE Posted April 24, 2020 Share Posted April 24, 2020 There are 5 OT I think could be reasonable contributors in this draft left Josh Jones Ezra Cleveland Lucas Niang Prince Tega Wanagho Matt Peart I don't think it's all that unlikely that all 5 go before 65. If the Bengals have all those guys somewhat closely rated, then a trade back makes sense. If they have Jones or Cleveland as clearly a tier or 2 higher than the other guys, then you have to make that pick Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Johnny Nix Posted April 24, 2020 Share Posted April 24, 2020 OT and LB are more critical to our team success this year than WR Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
