First Round Targets

I'm really ok whichever way they go to be honest.

Just not a running back.

I don't think it's terribly likely - but lets say Harrison, Jones and/or Wright are all on the board when we pick.

Harrison gives you that really athletic natural long-term LT. Jones gives you a set and forget RT who probably has little chance to convert to LT (and who's best case scenario is probably Orlando Brown) and then Wright gives you some combination of the two.

I think I still take Harrison. I'm pretty sure I'm out on a 6'8" OT with some weight/feet concerns. Wright is the one that intrigues me - I think he's the one most likely to be the sort of versatile RT we want. With Taylor seemingly ensconced on the left side, I'm less worried about long-term LT prospects. And Harrison may get bullied a bit for a year or so.

I dunno - I really like Wright. He may be the best combination of immediate contributions and long-term ability. A good mix of ceiling/floor.

Kinda thinking this too. Sam La Porta fits us very well and isn’t much different later on, but isn’t he pretty much Noah Gray? Wouldn’t be mad at 2 good receiving TE’s to help Kelce’s workload.

And as much as the size concerns creep up, I would hate it if the Bengals drafted this kid to go with what they have bc damn. If we don’t get to Burrow quickly again he could carve us up with those weapons. Yeesh.

Just don’t think there’s a guy at WR I’d see them take, even as late at 31. The value just doesn’t seem to be there compared to DL or tackle. Feels like the value isn’t far off from rd 2 than it is in rd 1. And I think we’re involved with OBJ and Hopkins bc of that along with a bad FA class.

DL is very very deep though. You could get a very good one around 63. To me it just feels like the best value in rd 1 is a tackle. I don’t trust Niang to be anything more than a swing tackle. You could really solidify this OL for the next 2 years

I just don't know why I should be more worried about him than I was Hayden Hurst.

Fine Bengals - draft him in the 1st. Y'all had a developed version of him last year and it was...fine.

Just seems more and more apparent that I'm simply not on the Kincaid train.
