We could still get a Payne or draft OT in first. Harold also may still be around. Everyone wants to trade down every year. But there has to be a player a team covets and the price has to be right. We'd need to hope QB4 is still available and someone wants to leap Miami to get him. Long shot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oakdb36 Posted April 3, 2018 Share Posted April 3, 2018 DE Chad Thomas from Miami is visiting. Not surprising since he fits the tall DE mold the Bengals have been using for years. His combine testing was poor though. I guess he could be an option on day 3. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or someone could want a top ten player that has fallen to us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

While it wouldn't be my ideal pick, I honestly wouldn't mind taking him over Vea. He fits more what we need. Really like Taven Bryan as a prospect but my concern would be adding another developmental DT - I think he'll be a fine player but top 10 maybe too rich for a guy that could need 18 months to add polish to his game and really make an impact. Trouble is he may be too talented with too much upside to make it to our second round pick........... I like him but If it was me in that draft room I'd probably be cautious and go with Vea, Hurst or Payne as more polished players. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sometimes more isn't always better (see Cleveland Browns). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NCOUGHMAN Posted April 3, 2018 Share Posted April 3, 2018 I was looking at Darrell Russell rip vs vea combine and the similarities are interesting. Didn't know Dr had 35 inch arms! I think vea would've ran a 4.8 if the hammy was good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not like we will be pissed with Vea Ward or one of the LBS or even don't want one of them. We just like the value and options in the high rds.

Sure but I think this is a good year to do it. We are basically at the top of "best of the rest" level players imo. So we should move down in my eyes.

reddevil Posted April 3, 2018 Share Posted April 3, 2018 I'm honestly not that bothered about moving down. There are quite a few players in mid to late first I like and of course if you got an extra 2nd and you hit on all your top picks it would do wonders for us. But I really have my heart set on getting a genuine difference maker and at 10 we would have an excellent chance of landing one in Fitz, James, Ward, Vea, Smith or Edmunds. Moving down far enough to get sufficient compensation would take us out landing these guys imo and I'm not sure I'd honestly want to risk it. I think there's just as much risk in trading away from the players at 10 and having the hedge bets not ultimately pay off. This isn't to say that I don't think there's merit in a trade down - I'm just not one to hold the position that trade down is necessarily option A for us.

The run on QBs are going to push a top 5 talent to 10. In whch case, I like the impact of a Ward/Fitzpatrick falling their. Trading down I personally like the idea as this class has the most talent rounds 1-3 and will drop off day 3. More picks days 1 and 2 the better.

I've seen these Davenport projections too lately. It must be that time of year. Outlets started projecting Davenport to the Raiders at 10 early on and I guess it's come full circle. I 100% would not like that move. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
