Person doesn't know our draft plans. FFS. Drafting a CB in the 1st round would be a body blow to this franchise. What a waste. Our 1st pick should involve improving our passing attack. When the 4th quarter rolls around and it's time to air it out you need pass protection and weapons. CB in the 1st is a luxury pick for teams that are loaded on offense.

Well someone comes to mind.

I was excited when we signed Russell Okung because he, aside from being established as being really good, was that he's 6'5" with 36 inch arm length.

I'd ideally like a LT around 6'8" with a 36 inch arm length. Slater is 6'3" with a 33 inch arm length. A little risky for LT.

Slater's arm length - 33in Jordan Gross' arm length - 33.25in Sewell's arm length - 33.25in They all have/had short arms for the position. This draft doesn't have an ultimate perfect LT as far as measurements are concerned, but they can still have great careers.

The second round of the this draft has some awesome prospects. Getting an extra second rounder would be really sweet. 3rd round not so much.

As a fan I don't want Darnold to have excuses for playing poorly. That's part of the reason I want a better o-line. We can't evaluate any QB behind a poop o-line.

Yes I said they were both bad. I just made that comparison because it popped into my head. No point behind it.

Hurney: Round 5, Pick 143: Josh Norman, CB Gettleman: Round 5, Pick No. 141 – CB Zack Sanchez But yes they were both bad.

I'm just grateful Gettleman is gone. When you're missing at the top of the draft it's just brutal, and he was bad in later rounds as well. And his free agent signings should have landed him in jail. In 2016 Gettleman's draft was horrific: Round 1: Pick No. 30 – DT Vernon Butler - OMGGGGGGGGG Round 3: Pick No. 77 – CB Daryl Worley - Couldn't guard anyone and drew PI penalties left and right. Round 5: Pick No. 141 – CB Zack Sanchez - Cut quickly and looked high school quality. Round 7: Pick No. 252 – TE Beau Sandland - Who????

Just FYI for young football fans who might be on this forum, please don't be fooled by phony sports journalists. They make stuff up and pretend like they have inside information on who will be drafted by which teams. NFL teams, unless they have the #1 over pick, don't go around leaking out who they are taking in the draft. That could harm the team due to trading or other reasons. The draft targets remain a secret until the pick is made.

If the Bengals are letting out who they are drafting then they're pretty stupid.

1.) I'd trade down if possible if Chase were there at 8. I think Chase is a bit overrated in the media, so he's more likely to be there at 8 than most people think imo. 2.) Practice and competition decides who starts. 3.) I would not play DJ in the slot.

Here is the latest CBS mock. https://www.cbssports.com/nfl/draft/news/2021-nfl-mock-draft-raiders-lions-snag-elite-receivers-pushed-down-due-to-rising-quarterbacks/ I've seen plenty of mocks with Chase falling to us, but I don't think it's the most likely scenario by any stretch.

If Sewell is gone we could take Chase and then go with possibly Leatherwood in the second. Or trade down and get more picks. We're either taking a OT in the first or the second.

Ok I'll go do one right now.

Darnold has proven he knows how to lose, and he was our last choice as a free agent QB. No other teams were interested in trading for Darnold in a QB desperate market. Oh course we are taking Fields and Lance if they fall to 8, and you should be happy about it.

CBS has us taking Chase.

Worst mock draft I've ever seen.

3 -5 has some pretty terrible prospects. This draft the talent falls off a cliff after the second round imo. Here are some 3rd rounders I like: Amon-Ra St. Brown Dyami Brown Andre Cisco Tyson Campbell It's slim pickings by the third round.
