So let’s take a look at a real-live-non-mock prospect who visited Paul Brown Stadium Monday who hits the Bengals where they live along the defensive line and who had such a good Pro Day on his campus estimable draftnick Rob Rang had this to say about him on CBS Sports.com:
“The former Sun Devil who really caught the attention of scouts, however, was … a fast-rising defensive lineman who is coming off of a strong performance at the Senior Bowl. The 6-foot-3, 305-pound(er) is a bit of a defensive end in a defensive tackle's body, showing impressive quick-twitch athleticism for a man of his bulk. He was clocked in the high 4.8s to mid 4.9s on two attempts at the 40 yard dash and came in at 4.65 seconds in the short shuttle and 7.29 seconds in the 3 cone drill. (His) quickness makes him one of the more intriguing interior pass rushers among this year's defensive tackles.”
The thing is, Arizona State’s Marcus Hardison is already here.
Haha. Hobson is really working over time this year after we lost everyone.
You could make an argument it is 15 new picks, because they are assuming Ogbuehi will be his first round talent again once he gets back to LT.
So who we got this year:
1st Round Pick Ogbuehi
1st Round Pick Jackson
4th Round Pick Billings
4th Round Pick Hardison
Plus our 11 draft picks in this years draft.
I hope they all pan out, but the only two important players here are Ogbuehi and Billings. Jackson may never see the field still with Jones, Kirkpatrick and Dennard on the field. Billings is the starter at DT now beside Atkins.
I am starting to think our best pick may be what Hobson is suggesting, O.J. Howard, TE, Bama. You can add another receiving threat on the field while adding an extra blocker on the line, going with two TE's.
Either O.J. Howard or Mike Williams. If we draft a DE, he will be sitting the bench the first year or two. I think Howard or Williams has a chance to play from day one.
#1 - WR Mike Williams, Clemson
#2 - RB Joe Mixon, Oklahoma (why the hell not? we have Adam Jones and he is the king of scum)
#3 - DE Trey Hendrickson, Florida Atlantic
#4 - LB Conner Harris, Lindenwood
#4b - RT Zach Banner, USC
