If we come out of this draft with two starting lineman in 2022 that will be excellent. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tested as a decent athlete for a guy his size, I haven't seen video of him at all, so he's a bit of a mystery. Not hating the pick as much as I was.

If we can just hit on Carman i'll be happy. Never against taking multiple swings with upside guys on day 3 though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's been a beast at GA Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Multiple ankle injuries that put the beginning of the season in jeopardy. He missed almost all of the offseason pre-draft stuff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
THE DUKE Posted May 21, 2021 Author Share Posted May 21, 2021 I doubt it happens, but i'd love to see the Bengals at least make the attempt at signing Morgan Moses, who WFT cut this week. Would let them move Reiff to LG and backup both OT spots if the young developmental guys (Smith, Adeniji) aren't ready yet, and would sure up the depth as well. Moses is 30 years old, but had a 80+ PFF score at RT last year, which would have been tops on our line. Moses and Carman would make a huge right side of the line with both in the 325-335 range. Harken back to the days of Willie Anderson and Bobby Williams. LT: Jonah Williams, Hakeem Adeniji LG: Riley Reiff, Quentin Spain C : Trey Hopkins, Billy Price, (Trey Hill) RG: Jackson Carman, Xavier Su'a-Fila RT: Morgan Moses, D'Ante Smith Cut/Practice Squad: Michael Jordan, Fred Johnson, Keaton Sutherland, Fred Johnson, Isaiah Prince, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
