When did we get three 1st round picks?

When did we get three 1st round picks?

Hill will not make it in the 1st, not in my opinion. However, I meant to sub DeCastro with Gleen as I know DeCastro will not fall to 21, but Glenn has a chance.

I think Hill falls a bit since his hands are questionsable and he was part of a program that doesn't utilize the passing game much, so the transition to the route trees, hots will be quite a transition in the NFL.

[cincygrad]

Looks like a pretty good guess at a 53 -- I think you're right that there will be 2 maybe 3 rookie starters at most. I doubt that we cut Skuta, Rey and Peerman (one or two of the three may be cut) - If we do, we'll be in big trouble on special teams. I also don't see us giving up on Huber yet.

 

[Tubbs1518]

No way Hill falls that far. Too big, too fast. He is being talked about as a top 25 pick. He may fall out of the first, but not very far.

 

[Be Weary of Query]

I have a hard time seeing them cutting Whalen.

Limited sample size but he did produce when he played. WR next year could look like this:

Green
draft pick/veteran
Shipley
Hawkins
Whalen
Binns

I could see Tate getting cut especially if the Bengals select a RB and/or CB that is a special teams guy.

Oh look. Another draft thread with Luke Kuechly.
