Official 2020 NFL Draft Thread

[KoryMac5]

Please post reactions to the draft here...we could treat it like a game thread.

[KoryMac5]

19 mins to go...should be an interesting night.

[WrongVerb]

Should we refer to him as the Bengal King Jeaux Exotic?

[KoryMac5]

Bengals expected to be quick on the clock.

[North]

Bengals expected to be quick on the clock.

:laugh:

[WVRed]

So does ESPN continue the tradition of going to commercial break when the Bengals pick? [emoji846]

[redhawkfish]

Beverage check! North Coast Scrimshaw lager for me!

[WrongVerb]

Beverage check! North Coast Scrimshaw lager for me!

Bailey's mixed with vanilla vodka for me.

[WrongVerb]

That Harry Connick Jr. National Anthem rendition got to me more than I thought it would.

(Watching on NFLN)

[redsfandan]

Yuengling Black & Tan

[KoryMac5]

Sounds tasty I am getting more and more away from the IPA these days.

[WrongVerb]

Jeaux Exotic!

[Todd Gack]

Mel Kiper is an idiot: "Hey, the Bengals went to the Super Bowl in the 80s!"

[Bourgeois Zee]

Kentucky Kolsch Ale for me.

In a frosty glass.

[WVRed]

Mel Kiper is an idiot: "Hey, the Bengals went to the Super Bowl in the 80s!"

He is but he’s also one of the only media heads not trashing the Bengals so there’s that

[Todd Gack]

He is but he’s also one of the only media heads not trashing the Bengals so there’s that

I mean, the amount of levity from Bengals fans to question if someone would hesitate to come here was and will continue to be amazing.

Glad you decided to come in with your usual schtick...

Enjoy one night as a Bengals fan for once.

[WrongVerb]

The thing that sold me on Burrow was his on field interview after the playoff game. He didn't relish the moment. He talked about having unfinished business.

Joe Burrow's Bengals don't lose that game against the Steelers.

[Wonderful Monds]

I mean, the amount of levity from Bengals fans to question if someone would hesitate to come here was and will continue to be amazing.

I mean, it doesn’t make sense. They’ve only had a few exceptionally bad seasons in the last 17 years, and they’ve only really had 2 QBs that they did a pretty good job of developing during that time. They’re not the Browns.

[Bourgeois Zee]

Burrow compared to Joe Montana by Miami?

Wow.

[KoryMac5]

Awesome on cloud 9 right now

[WVRed]

They didn’t screw it up.

Who Dey!

[redsfandan]

Burrow compared to Joe Montana by Miami?

Wow.
Yeah, seems like an odd comp.


edit: But that would be great for the Bengals (and a little ironic).

[Bourgeois Zee]

The thing that sold me on Burrow was his on field interview after the playoff game. He didn't relish the moment. He talked about having unfinished business.

Joe Burrow's Bengals don't lose that game against the Steelers.

The thing that sold me on Joe Burrow was his entire 2019 - 2010 season. In the SEC. Against perhaps the toughest schedule in the nation. (Clemson, Alabama, Texas, Georgia, Oklahoma, Auburn, and Florida were all top 10 teams.) And all he did was have the single greatest season in college football history.

[Todd Gack]

I mean, it doesn’t make sense. They’ve only had a few exceptionally bad seasons in the last 17 years, and they’ve only really had 2 QBs that they did a pretty good job of developing during that time. They’re not the Browns.

The organization and Mike Brown is known to nationally be a joke. As little as Bengals fans think the national media knows about Cincinnati, they know less about how little the national media views the Bengals. Losing 5 straight 4:00pm Saturday playoff games does nothing but help that image.

With that said, Burrow does feel different.

[North]

It's a wrap. But...maybe they will trade up.

[Bourgeois Zee]

Yeah, seems like an odd comp.

Perhaps they mean he's unflappable? Great in the clutch?

Perhaps it's his timing and ability to read quickly (and take some yardage rather than none)?

[Todd Gack]

It's a wrap. But...maybe they will trade up.

THey'd have to really love someone for them to do it.

[Boston Red]

Bengals had to take Burrow, but I won't be surprised if Tua is a better NFL QB. Depends on him getting healthy, obviously.

[KoryMac5]

Perhaps they mean he's unflappable? Great in the clutch?

Romo is a good comp...Greg Cook who was QB yrs ago is close if you watch video

[redsfandan]

Maybe, all I know is . . .

[KoryMac5]

Chase Young nice no brainer pick double digit sacks pencil it in

[Bourgeois Zee]

Chase Young to Washington.

They'll have a phenomenal D Line if he's for real. (And who was the last disappointing OSU D Lineman?)

[WVRed]

Bengals had to take Burrow, but I won't be surprised if Tua is a better NFL QB. Depends on him getting healthy, obviously.

I’m picking Jordan Love to be a better QB if there is one than Burrow. Just depends on who takes him.

[Kingspoint]

No simulator. Just my guesses based on total draft needs. Did the first four rounds. Dalton gets traded to New England for the #98 pick. Trent Williams gets traded to Tampa Bay for O. J. Howard and the #45 pick. Only time to post the first round.

[RiverRat13]

(And who was the last disappointing OSU D Lineman?)

Vernon Gohlston

[Todd Gack]

I’m picking Jordan Love to be a better QB if there is one than Burrow. Just depends on who takes him.


Tua. I loved the comparison that Nick Saban gave where he was like Drew Brees. He (Brees) had Top 10 talent but injuries made him very questionable.

[WVRed]

Jeff Okudah to Detroit

[Bourgeois Zee]

Okudah to the Lions.

Again, good pick for the team.

Surprised they didn't down.

[WrongVerb]

Okudah to the Lions.

Again, good pick for the team.

Surprised they didn't down.

Same here. Seems like they could have taken MIA or LAC offer and still gotten their guy.

[Bourgeois Zee]

Giants taking a long time.

This is the first pick, IMO, that's interesting.

Will the G-Men go with a hog up front, Brown, or athletic freak Simmons?

[KoryMac5]

They like the kid from Iowa...we shall see Gettleman is always an adventure

[WVRed]

First surprise. Andrew Thomas to the Giants

[Bourgeois Zee]

First surprise. Andrew Thomas to the Giants

And there goes my perfect draft.

Can't believe the Giants couldn't have moved down and still gotten Thomas.

I suspect they could have moved down around 9, 10, maybe even 11 and still gotten Thomas (or Wirfs or Becton or Wills).

[Todd Gack]

First surprise. Andrew Thomas to the Giants

I read somewhere on Twitter last week that someone predicted he'd be the first OT off the board and it would surprise everyone who it would be. I wish I could remember who it was.

[RiverRat13]

Andrew Thomas was always in the top 5 in the mock drafts in January.

- - - Updated - - -

Here we go. Where it gets interesting.

[KoryMac5]

Andrew Thomas was always in the top 5 in the mock drafts in January.

He fell off a bit late but the Giants liked him enough.

[WVRed]

Tua to Miami

[Bourgeois Zee]

Tua Tagovailoa is the pick.

Great gamble for Miami.

Especially since they have two more 1st rounders.

[KoryMac5]

Tua was my 1b to Burrow great pick at 5

[WVRed]

Anyone else wondering why Gettleman put a mask on sitting alone in a room in his home?

[WrongVerb]

Bengals had to take Burrow, but I won't be surprised if Tua is a better NFL QB. Depends on him getting healthy, obviously.

Never gamble on "if."

Also, I'm not a fan of shorter quarterbacks. Many more fail than succeed.

[RiverRat13]

Tua Tagovailoa is the pick.

Great gamble for Miami.

Especially since they have two more 1st rounders.

I think all of the other picks they have make it easier for them to take him.

[WrongVerb]

Anyone else wondering why Gettleman put a mask on sitting alone in a room in his home?

Even better, he half put it on, stopped, realized he was on live, then put it on fully. Weird.

[WVRed]

Herbert to the Chargers

[redsfandan]

Tua was my 1b to Burrow great pick at 5

I get that he's got a lot of talent but I wonder if he could've fallen to their next pick.

[Bourgeois Zee]

Herbert to the Chargers

Wow.

That... is very high for Herbert.

We shall see.

I'd have signed Cam Newton for a two-year pillow contract and drafted defense.

[WrongVerb]

Herbert to LAC. If the Bengals had traded back, he's who I wanted them to take.

[WVRed]

Wow.

That... is very high for Herbert.

We shall see.

Not surprising though.

[WVRed]

Carolina has to be Isaiah Simmons, right?

[redsfandan]

Did NOT expect 3 qbs taken so quickly.

[Bourgeois Zee]

Carolina has to be Isaiah Simmons, right?

Or Derrick Brown, who's an absolute stud.

This really helps Arizona.

[WVRed]

Did NOT expect 3 qbs taken so quickly.

I’m more surprised nobody has tried to move up for them.

[Boston Red]

Never gamble on "if."

Also, I'm not a fan of shorter quarterbacks. Many more fail than succeed.

I hear you, but it's like saying Lamar Jackson could be the best QB from the 2018 draft. Made sense the Browns took Manziel and not Jackson. But it doesn't mean the Browns don't regret it two years later.

[WVRed]

Or Derrick Brown, who's an absolute stud.

I’m thinking that too.

If Simmons drops to Jacksonville, that’s two years in a row a stud defender drops to them.

[redsfandan]

I’m more surprised nobody has tried to move up for them.

True, there were a lot of rumors. But, 3 in the top 6 picks. Idk.

[Bourgeois Zee]

Did NOT expect 3 qbs taken so quickly.

I'm just not a fan of Herbert.

He takes so long to get rid of the ball-- and will need both time and a bunch of seven-step drops. He won't have that in LA, and he's likely to get eaten up.

[RiverRat13]

QBs always go higher than they should

[Todd Gack]

I'm just not a fan of Herbert.

He takes so long to get rid of the ball-- and will need both time and a bunch of seven-step drops. He won't have that in LA, and he's likely to get eaten up.

I'm not a fan of Hebert because the biggest thing they always talk about Herbert is his physical attributes. Nothing about mental makeup.

[WVRed]

Or Derrick Brown, who's an absolute stud.

This really helps Arizona.

You were right.

I think Arizona takes Wirfs though.

[KoryMac5]

Or Derrick Brown, who's an absolute stud.

This really helps Arizona.

Good call

[Kingspoint]

Thought they'd trade down to get Derrick Brown , but the Jets know they can get their OT now that Hebert was taken by the LAC and Tua was taken by MIA, even though the NYG took Andrew Thomas.

- - - Updated - - -


I'm not a fan of Hebert because the biggest thing they always talk about Herbert is his physical attributes. Nothing about mental makeup.

Yes. He has not performed well under pressure.

[Kingspoint]

I'm just not a fan of Herbert.

[Kingspoint]

The Honey Badger's replacement.

[KoryMac5]

Shocked Simmons fell but he doesn’t have a set position is what I heard.

[Kingspoint]

Cleveland is in heaven as they get a quality LT for Mayfield.

[Bourgeois Zee]

The Honey Badger's replacement.

LOVE Simmons in Arizona.

He's going to be a stud for a team that may push deep in the playoffs.

[redsfandan]

Cleveland is in heaven as they get a quality LT for Mayfield.

I'd prefer that they made a trade for Trent Williams since he's a proven top lineman and might cost less.

Regardless, looks like they'll get the left tackle that they badly need.

[Bourgeois Zee]

Jacksonville really can't go wrong here. They could go for a monster tackle, a la Wills, Becton, or Wirfs.

They could go for another weapon at WR too.

They could even go for Kinlaw from South Carolina, and I'd get it.

[Rojo Rijo]

LOVE Simmons in Arizona.

He's going to be a stud for a team that may push deep in the playoffs.

They gambled. Better hope they can get a solid OL later to protect Murray. In a division with Bosa and Donald he’s going to need it.

They need someone to block for Kyler first.

Bold prediction

[Rojo Rijo]

I’m thinking that too.

If Simmons drops to Jacksonville, that’s two years in a row a stud defender drops to them.

Yeah I’m pissed. Arizona took the best player available but they needed an OL. I was really thinking we were going to get him

[Todd Gack]

lol. . Cleveland couldn't get the pick in fast enough

[Bourgeois Zee]

Jags surprise with CB CJ Henderson.

So far, WR and tackles are the big losers.

And no trades.

That's uncommon.

[WVRed]

CJ Henderson instead.

[Kingspoint]

Clearly, the social distancing is effecting the ability to complete trades.

[Reds Fanatic]

I expect the run on WRs to start here soon

[Kingspoint]

Yeah, I think the difficulty of doing trades has effected the Tackles.

[WVRed]

Jags surprise with CB CJ Henderson.

That's uncommon.

Should be a run on both real soon.

Browns take Jedrick Wills

[Kingspoint]

Think they got the 2nd best OT...without having to trade up. They got a steal here.

[Bourgeois Zee]

Jedrick Wills is a great pick.

He'll help the offense.

[Kingspoint]

Jets should take Wirfs. Had them trading up to #7 to get Wirfs.

[KoryMac5]

Nice pick by Cleveland let the draft come to them

[Boston Red]

It's funny as a Louisville fan that I don't remember Wills being a top recruit out of Kentucky. must have been obvious he wasn't going to stay in state from early on.

[Bourgeois Zee]

Jets are in a sneaky good position here.

Two or three really good tackles still available and all the WR talent to boot.

Were I their GM, I'd call Miami about their two 1st rounders and switch one for two.

[redsfandan]

I expect the run on WRs to start here soon

This draft is supposed to be deep in good receivers. Looks like that's making teams take other players first and letting receivers slide a little.

[Kingspoint]

I expect the run on WRs to start here soon

With Las Vegas.

[Bourgeois Zee]

It's funny as a Louisville fan that I don't remember Wills being a top recruit out of Kentucky. must have been obvious he wasn't going to stay in state from early on.

He was a stud. Kentucky thought they had him. Lexington kid.

[Kingspoint]

Jets are in a sneaky good position here.

Two or three really good tackles still available and all the WR talent to boot.

Were I their GM, I'd call Miami about their two 1st rounders and switch one for two.

Super call, as MIA needs that stud LT more than the Jets do.

[Todd Gack]

Schefter hinted that we could see our first. trade at 13 with SF.

[Kingspoint]

Jets are in a sneaky good position here.

What are the two 1st rd MIA Picks?

[KoryMac5]

Schefter hinted that we could see our first. trade at 13 with SF.

They covet one if the Bama wideouts

[Kingspoint]

What are the two 1st rd MIA Picks?

Never mind...26 is the one I forgot.

[Todd Gack]

Bout ready to see a run on WR's here I think. Things looking good for that 33 pick so far.

[Bourgeois Zee]

What are the two 1st rd MIA Picks?

18 and 26

[Kingspoint]

The common belief is ther are no elite Receivers in this draft. No Green, no Jones, etc.

[redsfandan]

What are the two 1st rd MIA Picks?

5 (used for Tua)
18 from Pittsburgh
26 from Houston

[Kingspoint]

JETS fans will be in an uproar.

[Bourgeois Zee]

The common belief is ther are no elite Receivers in this draft. No Green, no Jones, etc.

But a ton of guys just barely under that level.

Four or five guys who profile as perennial All-Pro level WR1 guys.

And then 10 or so after them as starting wideouts too.

[Kingspoint]

Jets blew it.

[Bourgeois Zee]

JETS fans will be in an uproar.

Why?

Becton has the highest upside of any tackle in the draft with perhaps Wirfs the only one in his stratosphere. He's good blocking on both run and pass.

So he smoked a little pot-- so what?

It's nearly legal now everywhere, man.

[Todd Gack]

SPeaking of Ghlolston, Becton reminds me of the OL version of him. Physical attributes off the charts but doesn't really know how to translate that effectively on the field at the next level

[Kingspoint]

But a ton of guys just barely under that level.

Four or five guys who profile as perennial All-Pro level WR1 guys.

And then 10 or so after them as starting wideouts too.

Right. 5 will still go in the 1st.

[KoryMac5]

So much for Becton sliding due to issues...363 wow

[Kingspoint]

Why?

Becton has the highest upside of any tackle in the draft with perhaps Wirfs the only one in his stratosphere. He's good blocking on both run and pass.

So he smoked a little pot-- so what?

It's nearly legal now everywhere, man.

Because he has one aspect...size. Skill is missing. Can't wait to see the New York Sports stories.

[Bourgeois Zee]

Vegas is interesting.

Just because who in the hell knows what they'll do.

I'm guessing it's the first WR, but Wirfs might be too tempting to pass up.

[Boston Red]

Becton has already protected Lamar Jackson. Why not Sam Darnold, too?

[Reds Fanatic]

Vegas is interesting.

Just because who in the hell knows what they'll do.

I'm guessing it's the first WR, but Wirfs might be too tempting to pass up.

I would be shocked if this is not a WR

[Bourgeois Zee]

Because he has one aspect...size. Skill is missing. Can't wait to see the New York Sports stories.

Dude runs a 5.1 40 and repped the bench 23 times, not to mention great tape and talent. He was an All-American.

[Kingspoint]

They had their choice of the #1 WR taken. That's a nice luxury.

[Bourgeois Zee]

I would be shocked if this is not a WR

It wouldn't shock me if they drafted Jordan Love.

[WVRed]

Not surprised Ruggs is the pick. This has Gruden written all over it.

[Kingspoint]

Not a single trade. It's baseball.

[Kingspoint]

Dude runs a 5.1 40 and repped the bench 23 times, not to mention great tape and talent. He was an All-American.

Terrible tape as analyzed by PFF, the most respected non-NFL analysis in the football industry. I don't know where you get good on tape.

[KoryMac5]

Ruggs is a better John Ross

[Kingspoint]

Don't see how SF doesn't take Jeudy here.

[Reds Fanatic]

Not a single trade. It's baseball.

The teams all working from home is definitely holding down the trades though so far technically outside the lack of trades draft is running well. I could see more trades coming between rounds as it will give teams the time to work trades out tomorrow.

[redsfandan]

Not a single trade. It's baseball.

Yeah, a little surprising.

[WVRed]

First trade and its TB moving up one pick.

[Todd Gack]

wow

[Reds Fanatic]

And there goes the first trade as the Bucs trade up

[Boston Red]

Terrible tape as analyzed by PFF, the most respected non-NFL analysis in the football industry. I don't know where you get good on tape.

You didnt like Lamar Jackson either. You're not good at analyzing Louisville draft picks! :)

[Bourgeois Zee]

Terrible tape as analyzed by PFF, the most respected non-NFL analysis in the football industry. I don't know where you get good on tape.

From everyone else? Go read the article on The Athletic.

If you're a Jet fan, it'll ease your mind.

[Kingspoint]

Bucs don't have to trade for Williams now.

[KoryMac5]

Tampa nice move to get Brady some protection

[Kingspoint]

Brady can't get the smile off his face.

[Bourgeois Zee]

Wirfs is a fantastic get. Super young and used to playing in pro style

Pretty sure Tom Brady sold his soul to the devil.

First Gronk then Wirfs. An entire receiving corps who profiles as above average.

Sigh.

[Kingspoint]

From everyone else? Go read the article on The Athletic.

If you're a Jet fan, it'll ease your mind.

The Athletic has never shown me enough to make it worth it paying the money.

[Kingspoint]

If I were the Bengals, I'd offer the 2nd and next year's 1st Rd to SF to move up and draft Josh Jones before the DEN, NYG, or MIA take him.

[KoryMac5]

The Athletic has never shown me enough to make it worth it paying the money.

For NFL and MLB fans it’s a good buy there NBA and NHL coverage is just ok

[Kingspoint]

Wirfs is a fantastic get. Super young and used to playing in pro style

Pretty sure Tom Brady sold his soul to the devil.

The NFC is Strong.

Ummm no

Pretty sure Tom Brady sold his soul to the devil.

First Gronk then Wirfs. An entire receiving corps who profiles as above average.

Sigh.

I think Tampa will underachieve.

Yes they have all the talent in the world but it still takes time to gel. Throw in potential for injury and it could happen.

LeBron struggled coming to LA. Peyton didn’t make it to the Super Bowl his first year in Denver. Second year look out though.

[redsfandan]

They might still take another offensive player (a rb that can catch) but they need to work on improving their defense, too.

[KoryMac5]

Kinlaw or the wide out here for SF

[WVRed]

Javon Kinlaw.

Called this in my mock.

Great value for the 9ers

[KoryMac5]

Kinlaw had some medical flags but they replace Buckner

[Todd Gack]

For NFL and MLB fans it’s a good buy there NBA and NHL coverage is just ok

I would agree. There's not much good sports journalism out there but this is the best of the bunch.

[Bourgeois Zee]

I think Tampa will underachieve.

Yes they have all the talent in the world but it still takes time to gel. Throw in potential for injury and it could happen.

LeBron struggled coming to LA. Peyton didn’t make it to the Super Bowl his first year in Denver. Second year look out though.

Neither LeBron nor Manning had the talent around them that Brady does.

[Todd Gack]

Can't believe Jeudy AND Lamb are still available.

[KoryMac5]

Denver got lucky and can get the wide out they want

[Todd Gack]

Ummm no

I'd do it for a WR at some point.

Miami is sitting pretty right here.

They'll get one of the three top WR or the fourth-best OT (Josh Jones).

Nice offensive haul, that.

[Bourgeois Zee]

Denver, as expected, picks WR.

[Reds Fanatic]

Getting a WR as good as Jeudy mid 1st round is a steal

[Kingspoint]

Don't play poker with John Lynch. He had to convince Tampa that either he was going to take Wirfs or he had an offer in place for someone else who wanted him.

[Todd Gack]

LOLOLOLO. . . NFL prohibits parties of more than 10 people and Jeudy clearly has a room of 50 people in the background. . LULZ

Wide outs take a bit to develope unless they are named Green or Jones

Same with Kinlaw they had someone pushing 10 people out of the shot. Kinlaw s dad broke the internet tonight.

[WVRed]

Neither LeBron nor Manning had the talent around them that Brady does.

And it still takes time to build chemistry, although Gronk will help with that.

Still have o-line questions even with Wirfs and defense to worry about.

[Bourgeois Zee]

He'll certainly help Lock. (And help Elway figure out if Drew Lock is for real.)

Sutton, Gordon, Fant, and Jeudy is a tough cover for anyone in this league.

[Kingspoint]

Yes. Three years was always the norm, but with the no-touch rules, it's almost like flag football, so Rookies can make an impact now.

[Todd Gack]

I was going to say the same thing. It was like they were "trying" to hide but it was clearly obvious.

[Kingspoint]

So much for the rumors about ATL trading up.

- - - Updated - - -

They had to CB, since both DT's were gone.

[WVRed]

AJ Terrell to Atlanta.

Thought it would be a pass rusher.

[Todd Gack]

Damn. That 33 pick keeps looking better and better.

[Kingspoint]

I thought it would be Fulton or Johnson.

Damn. That 33 pick keeps looking better and better.

There haven't been any 2nd Rd picks that have moved into the 1st, yet.

[WrongVerb]

Surprised ATL didn't take Lamb as the heir apparent to Jones.

Speaking of which, Lamb sliding has to be news, no?

[Bourgeois Zee]

Damn. That 33 pick keeps looking better and better.

Who would you want? An offensive lineman?

Jones might get there (although that's doubtful).

There are three or four safeties that could be an option.

No RB have been picked yet. That'd be interesting.

An absolute crap ton of WR are still available.

I'm going to guess Yetur Gross-Matos from PSU.

Definitely OL. I don't trust Jim Turner's assessment or development. They need as much depth as possible.

But overall, I always go BPA with as bad as we were last year.

CeeDee Lamb to Dallas.

I think they go with Winfield based on who I think will be available. I want Muti, but that would require a trade down. Someone will have to be there (Fulton) that someone wants.

No way on Matos. Too many other pressing needs and it’s not even great value.

[Bourgeois Zee]

Miami can pick OT (Jones?), WR (Jefferson? Higgins?), RB (Swift? Dobbins?), or maybe even go defense with this one.

Great options.

Again, I'd be tempted to move back if I were them.

That said, Jones makes a whole bunch of sense here.

[WVRed]

Roger Goodell may have stabbed Tua in the back.

Jackson isn’t even the best OT available.

[WrongVerb]

Scouts must like Jackson better than analysts do.

[Bourgeois Zee]

Miami goes for the tackle. Austin Jackson, from USC.

[Kingspoint]

There's the first non-1st rounder that will push a 1st Rounder to the availability of #33.

YES.

[Hillsdale87]

We were led to believe that teams' draft board were way different from the draft experts. That appears to have been a smokescreen. Other than Terrell to Altanta and Lamb falling a bit, it's been fairly chalk.

Raiders up again. Will they Love their pick?

Ok, first major surprise.

Damon Arnette.

Fatherhood seems to be a theme here. Looking for mature people.

Not sure how valid of an excuse this is, but I've heard people place some of the blame for his lack of strength last year on donating bone marrow to his sister ahead of the season.

There’s a pandemic and it may still not be safe to do it next year.

K’Lavon Chiasson and CJ Henderson to pair with Josh Allen.

That's going to be some kind of defense.

Might see Yannick Ngakoue dealt as a result of this pick, however.

Who says no?

Odell Beckham for Ngakoue

Guy on ESPN said the draft is in CLE next year then LV gets a shot. :dunno:

[Kingspoint]

There's the 3rd "non"-1st Rd player to get into the 1st pushing yet a 3rd player to the Bengals as an option. Looking very good right now.

We have a long, long way to go, but if I completely whiffed on Jones, that would be unbelievable. If Mims is one of the three, holy cow. If Fulton, Epeneza of the CB Johnson, fantastic!

Would take Reagor in a heartbeat. Bengals are definitely going to get some offers over the next 19 hours after the draff is over.

Leave your telephone on all night Mike Brown. This is no time to put it on airplane mode.

[adkindo]

I'm not sure either one really is. There's definitely differing opinions on both out there.

Bengals pick again in 10.

ESPN's Best Available have 2 safeties, 3 RB, a QB, an OT, an ILB, a WR, and a DT.

I'm hoping for Cleveland, I think. Maybe Josh Jones. Both are OT.

But really, any of the offensive players would work. Higgins or Aiyuk at WR? Great.

Swift at RB to spell Mixon? I can see that.

I'd even be fine with Queen. (Really fine.)

Lots of ways to go.

[RiverRat13]

Ruiz off the board. Could have been a target at 33.

[Bourgeois Zee]

Minnesota's gotta go with Xavier McKinney here, right?

He's the top safety, and they have no one back there.
