Guys that didn't get drafted in round 1

[CrashDavisSports]

Shaduer Sanders? Do the Browns take a swing at him with pick #33, or do you think they like Jalen Milroe better?

What the hell happened to Luther Burden III? I saw several mocks with him being drafted top 10. He fell all the way down into the second round?

I would not be opposed to trading up in the second round to nab Emmanwori. He can be a difference maker on the back end. Those would be two very athletically gifted players the Bengals took in rounds 1 and 2 then.

Will Johnson fell out of the 1st round as well. He has to be pretty high on boards right now. 1 CB selected in the first round, and 1 S.

Other thoughts?

Not a fan of trading up at all, and not just related to Emmanwori. Only have 6 picks as it is, and with so many holes to fill, and how deep this class is at DT/DL/IOL - need your picks.

Rule #1 of the NFL draft: Don't fall in love with any 1 player. If you get fixated on that, you will overspend and reach for that guy. Bengals have done a fair amount of that already in the all too recent past.

I think it is fair to become fixated if the juice is worth the squeeze...and Emmanwori is one juicy MF.

Use our 2nd this year, and 2nd next year, and grab a difference maker without losing our 3rd this year. I have my 1000 Watt Ninja Blender ready to make smoothies for everyone.

If he was that juicy - he would have went 1st round.
.
He may yet turn out to be a really good, great, safety...but I'm not trading up for him.

Here are the top guys on my Day 2 wish list:Guards Jonah Savaiinea and Tate RatledgeSafeties Xavier Watts and Kevin WinstonLinebacker Carson SchwesingerIn the unlikely but "they're still there???" category, I would add Nick Emmanwori and Will Johnson. I would not trade up

LMAO. I thought it was cool now a days to do that shit! Tossin wangs around for kitty kats and what not. Well, just one more trend I thought I finally understood and now I am finding out different.

Good read on the potential of Bengals moving UP in round 2 (Hint: Don't hold your Breath). Potential on moving DOWN in round 2, much more likely based on history - even recent history.

I'm glad you said something.... It was making me uncomfortable. Not that there's anything wrong with it.

I would be thrilled if Cleveland took Milroe - I've never seen anything in his game that makes me think he'll be a good pro. I'm worried about them getting Sanders. I think too many people got worried about him for the wrong reasons. If he lasted until the second round because he seems "arrogant," this is silly - We have one of the most self-confident (or arrogant if you really want to think about it) quarterbacks around and it goes pretty darn well. If its truly a skill thing, I get it.... But I don't sense that is what is going on.

He lasted until the 2nd round because, quite honestly, most people don't feel that he's that good. He's got a medium arm, and 70% of his passes came within 3 yards of the LOS. The bulk of his passing yards came on WR yards after the catch. If you subtract the amount of broken plays/scrambles that he had - the times that he dropped back 3+ steps and had to actually read/process a defense is borderline 15% of his passes. There really isn't any area of his game that you could consider "elite".

Then you consider that 1 season was against woeful competition at the HBCU level, and then his first year in P4 play was not good. Second year was better, but the B12 as a whole does not do "defense", and overall had down years. They were on the right side of several bounces that allowed them to escape with wins, or Colorado was looking at 6 wins again, and Sanders likely doesn't quite have the same shine on him.

There is also concern about his ability to handle a locker-room because he's never played without Daddy coaching. The first time he steps into an NFL locker-room it will be the first time he's ever stepped into one where his Dad wasn't in charge. He also has a bad habit of blaming others for losses, bad games, and general issues. This isn't new.

I pray for Cleveland or Pitt to take him - that's 2 games a year that he'll be forced to play an NFL defense (which I don't think he's ready for) and have to keep up with Burrow on offense...

Just fucking around. I really wanted Emmanwori. I was getting slap happy.

 

[DanBengalfan]

at least we're not the browns.

the only QB they have that can do shit is Flacco.
Watson - will go on the DL and frequent massage parlors.
Pickett - possibly the odd man out, he's possibly pretty good, maybe. but they don't need 5 qbs
One rookie QB will be the backup, and another will run the practice squad.

Flacco
Pickett
Watson
Dillon
Sanders

They are gonna have to cut Watson and collect on his insurance policy. They will need to cut Flacco, because they can't stick both rookies on the practice squad, they will lose them to another team, specifically Dillon.

They are gonna have to run with 3 active QB's.

Pickett, Sanders, Dillon

i think I read that they are stuck with watson this year.

Pickett, Sanders, Dillon

They renegotiated Watson's contract to push another large portion out yet another year. They wouldn't get much relief this year thanks to that move. Insurance only covers the year in which they would be injured, and Browns would still be on the hook for the remaining since it's not a career ending injury.

They'll either cut Picket or Flacco.

Honestly - if things go south, they could cut Sanders. Only a 5th round invested in the pick, so nothing major.

I don't think they can collect on an insurance policy because Watson is training and rehabbing his injury and there has been no ruling that he did something during his rehab to break his deal. They'll have to keep him, but they can store him on IR because he won't be ready to play.

I think they will start Flacco to begin the season. I think they'll get rid of Pickett - No real reason to keep him.
