you only have to deal with two more Mondays before the draft gets here.
In that spirit, let's get into another mock draft Monday. You are
Locked On Bengals, your daily Cincinnati Bengals podcast, part of the lockedwn podcast
network, your team every day. That intro is fire, Jake, It's
different. You're on the right podcast, so I promise you that one of
there and welcome to another episode of the Lockdown Bengals Podcast. I'm your host,
Jake Lisco. He's your host, James Raphine. We've changed our intro
music, but like I said, you're still in the right place. And
if you watched on YouTube, did you catch the little Bengals stripes in that
intro. I think that's one of the cooler, little subtle features of that
new intro for all of the YouTube watchers out there. But hope everybody's having
a good Monday. We're here for another episode of Lockdraft Monday here on Lockdown
Bengals on the Lockdown Podcast Network. You can find this podcast on YouTube like
I mentioned, or anywhere you get your podcast. If you're an audio listener,
you're listening in the car, if you're making us your first listen,
If you're an every day and you know where we are, well we'll get
to the show in just a second. If you are new, though,
you can hit the subscribe button. It helps us. It helps you get
our content every day. And this might be one of the last times,
James, that we go to a simulator. We might not get back to
a simulator. We're taking a peek at Pro Football Network today and there will
be more mock drafting on this podcast in some way, shape or form.
It just might not use a simulator after this because at that point we might
be trying to project things with our own brains and trying to come up with
our own angles. Seven round scenarios without the help of simulators and real quick
before the YouTube commenters get on, Jake, it is our mock Draft Monday
episode. Most of our audio audience listens on Monday morning or Monday at some
point during the day, even though we are in fact recording on Sunday and
this is airing on Sunday evening. We get it. We know the day.
I promise you. We do, I promise. So just in case
you're wondering, yes, it is a Sunday for the YouTube audience, at
least some of the YouTube audience right well, and some of the audio audience,
but most of our audience still listens to this the day after we upload
it the morning after. In particular, that's what we call it mock draft
Monday. For all the people out there that are confused, we do get
those comments, so you're right, I get the tweets like last time I
checked, it's it's still March, or last time I checked it Sunday.
And then I just wait until the next day and I'm like, what is
it now? What is it now? What day is it? What day
is it? It is New Intro Day, and hopefully it's a day that
we're going to fix the Bengals issues and nail a four round mock draft with
this PFN simulator. But you know what I've noticed Chance is like, I
don't think we've had a single mock draft with a unanimously positive reception this year.
I think more than previous years. They are very strong opinions and very
divisive opinions about what the Bengals should do in each of the rounds, and
like inevitably in all of the mocks, we don't maybe the four trench player
moment was the best received, even though we both looked at it and thought
it was really challenging to go that route. Yeah, because it was four
trench players. I think it was just yeah, four trench players do that.
People want trench players. But every single mock we've done, there's been
there's been at least one pick where people have been like, oh, no,
anything but that, you know, anything but keyon Coleman, anything but
a Marius Mems. Like, they're very strong opinions on some of these players,
uh, which I think is so so interesting because the idea that you
could be team Trenches and then out on Amarius Mims does not lock in.
You follow anyone that's smart football wise. Let let's just say you don't think
we're smart. Okay, fine, and there are people out there that think
that that's fine, but any sure are any smart football analyst has said,
oh yeah, Marius Mims could be one of the top packles in this draft
class beyfom Right, and so like, let's say we take him, and
we haven't fired at the simulator yet, but there will be people that are
like, no, way he's he's injury pro he's Cedric away He he is
thirty thousand times of prospects. Cedric way He was coming out. It's not
even it's apples to Jeff Ruby Steaks, it really is. I mean,
in that draft we told you maybe not. We weren't. We weren't on
this podcast at the time, but if you're following either of us on Twitter,
we all would have told you the same thing that Cedric Kabwayhi is not
worth that pick. Anyway. Speaking of firing up the simulator, let's fire
up the PFN simulator. One of the reasons we haven't been using this one
lately and we'll see what happens is I press this button, is that the
quarterbacks weren't getting picked where they should have been picked in my opinion, but
it looks like they fix that issue. So here we are back on the
PFN simulator with quarterbacks going one, two three, Marvin Harrison going for Joe
All five, Melik Neighbors, Olufshanu Layatu, Latu Roma Dunze, JJ McCarthy
getting picked ahead of the Vikings by the Raiders. The Raiders pumping up ahead
of the Vikings and breaking the Vikings heart picking their quarterback JJ McCarthy, although
the Vikings are going to trade up. I think in real life Turner twelve
to Tali fu Wanga thirteen, Amarius Men's fourteen, just like we were just
talking about, he could go top fifteen, although Lance Zerline is also speculated
that he could fall all the way out of the first round of Howers fifteen,
which if the Jets don't take Bowers. There's a lot of smoke indicating
that the Colts well Troy sixteen Terry Arnold's seventeen. So the corner options are
gone. We're not tempted or even having to pay lip service to a corner
here. We can't talk about brock Bauers and how many tackles were selected Joel
Olufushanu and then if you count Fuaga and Fatanu, five tackles including Amarus Sims
picked before the Bengals pick at eighteen. That I think is a possibility.
You could also see these corners go so the top of the PFN board here,
and I think this is relatively close to the universe of players that we
would talk about. And I'm gonna include Jared versu here, Jared Vers at
fifteen on the PFN board, Jac Latham at nineteen, Brian Thomas Junior at
twenty, Johnny Newton at twenty one, and Byron Murphy twenty two the top
five guys on the board. Yeah, I look at this and this is
the JC Latham, come on down. I would take JC Latham here.
It's to me, it's pretty easy. It is now Jared Verse that that's
someone that I think there will be people that say, all right, well
you should just take take Verse. He's a little higher on the PFN board.
I don't know if he will be higher on the Bengals board. And
when I look at it, Byron Murphy or JC Latham, those are probably
the other two guys that the Bengals would consider here. But man Latham.
He's the right tackle. He's the guy that could start those those six games,
eight games that Trent Brown is out if he doesn't win the starting job,
if Brown gets hurt and he fits long term, because you know exactly
where you're gonnaut him, you're gonna put him at right tackle. You don't
have to necessarily question about the guard stuff or anything like that. Now he
didn't test, but you know, it was interesting. I was in I
was listening to the Trench Warfare Brandon Thorn Thorn, Yeah, he was on
Dan Hort's Bengals Booth podcast, and he was like, yeah, I'm not
really worried about JC Lathan'm not testing a time. You kind of know what
he is. He wasn't gonna test like an elite athlete anyway. It would
have been nice, of course if he did test. But if he's here
at eighteen, I think it's hard, especially with men's off the board,
I think it's hard for me to go elsewhere and go with a Byron Murphy
or go with Johnny Newton or Jared versus. The data profile is pretty strong
on JC lath and the PFF data is strong. He started playing well at
a young age. He's got all the measurables you would ever want at just
south of six six three forty two. He's got huge hands, he's got
thirty five inch arms, he's got a massive wingspan, and he's gonna be
twenty one coming out. The biggest knock on Latham is that he's coming out
of Alabama and he had penalty issues and a lot of people still think and
I think it was Matt Miller Networks for ESPN NFL draft scout on Twitter tweeted
something about, you know, I know, you say, don't scout the
helmet all the time, but here's a list of Alabama tackles who haven't worked
out in the NFL, and so there's definitely some of that with Latham.
Of course, you shouldn't ever scout the helmet, but fair to wonder if
Alabama has maxed him out. From a film grade perspective, he comes out
ahead of Amarus men for most of our film graters. For me, when
I watched his tape, I thought very comfortable in the first round. Of
course, you don't see the penalties very clearly when you're watching the all twenty
two because you don't get the penalty calls when you're watching the coach's film angles.
But I think the past sets are very refined, especially for twenty one
year old. Obviously he's incredibly strong, obviously doesn't move great in the open
field. That's where Brandon Thorn's comment, like, you know, he's not
an elite athlete, and the Bengals would have missed out on the athletes in
this scenario. I will say, the one other thing here that I would
consider is a trade back with this many players on the board that you're comfortable
with, I would would I would. I would here with the two tackle,
with the two defensive tackles Latham, and even the possibility of if it's
much later in the first round, Tyler Giton later in the first round,
I would consider a trade back here. But I would also be totally fine
with picking Latham. Like I said, I think the tape for Latham very
strong. Yeah, I would take Latham here and the trade back. I
think there's a clear gap after Latham, oh, don't get me wrong,
and and so offensive tackle wise, and then are you banking on one of
the defensive tackles to be there. I think that's how far back? Yeah,
risk right, and the idea of Latham going to the Steelers, the
idea of I don't know about that. I would much rather stay put.
So let's take JC Latham and see how the board falls. We will do
that coming up next. Passion, drive and patience, the formula for winning

Greig is usually a fan of water cooler talk. But it's draft season and
that's all anyone wants to talk about. The Athletic has loads of articles about
this year's draft, but Greg doesn't have the Athletic, So now he's filling
up his water bottle in the back room sink, which, to remind you,
is the sink people use after they use the bathroom. Get the Athletic
and get the info you need to speak draft fluently. Back on the clock.
In the second round, we've gone first round offensive tackle out of Alabama.
Scout the helmet or not. It's JC Latham and somehow the Rams have
passed on both defensive tackles. In a world that I would have a hard
time seeing Johnny Newton going to the Steelers. Unfortunately, talking about players you
don't want to see go to the Steelers. A couple of rounds, a
couple picks, We're going to hate it. People are gonna hate that.
Oh God. The Dallas Cowboys draft Tyler Geiton to go with another Tyler tackle
who needs some development, along with their other Tyler offensive lineman. Down in
Dallas. The Bills get their wide receiver and ad Mitchell Keon Coleman going in
the first round. How about that to Baltimore Jared Versua all the way to
Baltimore to twenty nine to the Lions, putting Jared Verse on that defensive line
with DJ Veeder and Aiden Hutchinson and Ali McNeil. That is a nasty set
of players. In Detroit, Kings Lesue Mattia goes thirty one, zavi're Worthy
to the Chiefs looking for some speed at receiver. At thirty two, Troy
Franklin unfortunately doesn't make it to us. James your guy thirty four to the
Patriots, Cooper Bb Christian Haynes for the interior offensive line. In the second
round, Fans thirty six and thirty seven, and the Steelers traded up to
forty to go get Graham Barton, who made it all the way to forty
one pick after aladd mcconkeye dang lad, dang it lad, and for those
looking for defensive tackle in the second round, Chris Jenkins goes one pick before
forty nine to the Jaguars. At forty eight, Xavier lget another second round
receiver possibility going forty six to the Colts. So the Colts go Bowers Laget,
adding weapons to that offense for Anthony Richardson in Tennessee or in in Indianapolis.
Don't know where Tennessee came from, but hennes He's not going to be
able to guard those boys. That's what that means. Yeah, AFC South
nine. The top players on the PFN board are Jordan Morgan, the tackle
from Arizona, who's some project to kick in to guard in the NFL.
Darius Robinson, kind of a tweeener played edge of Missouri, has some ability
to kick inside. But if you're looking for trench help on the defensive side
of the ball, Darius Robinson is screaming at you. At the top of
this board. Zach Frasier for the interior offensive line crowd, you got Trey
Benson here as well at running back, although I don't think that with the
other guys available, I'm considering running back here. And if you missed on
that tackle in the first round, Patrick Paul the other tackle option. The
other interior and defensive line options Mike Hall junior from Ohio State, Chris Braswell
from Alabama, Braylan Trice, ed rusher from Washington, and very high on
this board which I find interesting is Ben Sinnett, who also comes out very
high on the good very board and hits a lot of checkboxes. If you're
looking for a tight end this year, yeah, I think we have some
good options here. I would throw. Did you say Roman Wilson, I
did not say Roman Wilson. So for wide receiver, Jalynn Polk, Malachi
Corley, Roman Wilson, Ricky Pursall are the are the top guys here?
Yeah? I think And you mentioned screaming at you. The guy screaming at
me right now is Darius Robinson. I think he's uh, he's the best
player there looking. I'm looking, and I'm just trying to think of who
else is better? Now? Jordan Morgan. You already have your right tackle
and someone that you're gonna have a higher grade on on JC Latham. If
you knew Morgan was gonna be here and you projected him as a tackle,
maybe maybe you would have rather that other route. But I don't know about
you, Darius Robinson screaming to me, we haven't picked him. That said,
I do think some of those wide receivers will be in the mix at
pick forty nine. Even I don't know that the Bengals like Troy Franklin just
because I like him. Just full disclosure for our viewers and listeners out there.
They could be in on Roman Wilson here, on Ricky Pursoll here,
or maybe they really like Malachai Corley or Jolynn Polk Like it would not shock
me at all, Ben Sinne, You're right, there are like maybe three
tight ends I'm in on in this draft. Maybe four. There aren't many.
There aren't many, and two of them are Day three guys. Yeah,
so it's it's gonna be tough. But overall, what stands out to
you? Because to me, Darius Robinson is certainly standing out to me.
I think Darius Robinson from a grade, from a value, from a need
perspective, is certainly the top of the list because he has that inside outside
versatility. Especially. I know he doesn't give you that nose tackle that some
Bengals fans are looking for, But I don't think there's a nose tackle you
want to pick in the second round in this draft at this point. I
will say this, I haven't talked about linebackers on mock Draft Monday hardly at
all. Peyton Wilson is the twelfth highest graded player currently on the good Very
Board that The big downside with him is that he's twent and so I don't
know if he actually have the age adjustment in for him yet. Yeah,
we don't, so he's going to come out a little bit lower when we
get the age adjustments in. The Other thing that I wanted to point out
here is that Ben Sinnett actually is solidly a first round take that risk.
I'm not saying to take it in the first round, but I'm saying his
profile screams take the risk on Ben Senate at some point. I'm not sure
we do it here because Darius Robinson also comes out really high on our board
from a film grade perspective, from a consensus perspective, from a production perspective,
from a PFF formula perspective, and a solid athlete at two to eighty
five. Like I said, the only thing there is that he's a tweeter,
and I'm not sure how the Bengals would feel about that kind of player
given the texture of their defensive line right now. But a two time captain,
you know, the Bengals are going to love that great Senior Bowl,
and they like Senior Bowl players too. There's a lot of reasons to think
that the Darius Robinson takes a lot of Bengals boxes and could be a tar,
but I just don't think he'd ever be available in the second round.
Yeah, well, I think he could be there in the second round.
I just don't know if it's right here to your point to the Bengals at
forty yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, you know, six five to
eighty five. You mentioned the tweener. He's he got stronger by the way
by his Pro Day twenty eight reps on the bench press, like some of
his testing he stood on from the combine. But yeah, I like it.
I also think that if you want to end the tight end streak and
break it, it's probably right here. Otherwise, and this is a four
round mock. Otherwise, I'm not really considering tight end in the first four
because Jamee Bell it's probably late, and that's the other guy that I would
be kind of in on tip. Raymond is a later pick too. That's
the other guy where it's like, oh, well, he can turn into
a solid player, but I'm thinking round five or six for him. So
this is probably the last spot to get a tight end. So up to
you, you make the call. I was leaning j c Latham last round.
What what do you lean here, Darius Robinson or Benson. I don't
think that there's enough there with Sennate to make me pivot off the falling player
here, the falling value, especially at a position where you can project him
getting onto the field, even if it's just as a three tech to start
his career, adding edge depth as well, a versatile piece who could be
good in both roles. And I know that Bengals fans are thinking about,
oh, you're going to draft a guy and that make him change positions.
You're going to Zach Carter. This guy, he's a better player. And
so that is a key difference when you're thinking about lessons from Bengals recent draft
history, when you're thinking about you know, Alabama tackles or injury, guys
that were injured or guys that didn't test the film is very different for these
guys. You know, if you want to talk about even brock Bowers,
history would tell you if you don't know for sure that the tight end is
a freek athlete, even as recently as last year, where the tight end
that was a freak athlete, Sam Laporta was a better tight end as a
rookie, then the tight end that was rated universally higher in Dalton Kincaid,
who didn't have that testing. It's just a risk. I'm not saying that
you shouldn't draft brock Bowers, but Josh Morris has pointed this out. When
you go to the testing, there's a risk factor, even for a player
like brock Powers. So the point is is that it's never apples and oranges.
It's never apples and apples. It's always a little bit different. You
have to consider the film more than anything before you just default to the last
time the Bengals drafted a tweener was Zach Carter. Yeah, for sure,
and so let's go with Darius Robinson here real quick. On that brock Bowers,
there were some reporting out there that he did run a forty. Yes,
I don't know if it's true or not. Before five three it would
be right there with the Porta are ahead of the Porta, right there with
George Kittle. So we'll see if that is actually true. I'm surprised we
haven't heard it more. But yeah, if he didn't run, he obviously
didn't do agility testing. That is relevant. But we still have three picks
to make in one segment left, so we will do that coming up next.
You might not have guessed this about me, considering the juxtaposition with my
co host, but I'm actually a competitive person under the surface. James.
You can attest to this. You've seen the NFL Blitz competition come out,
and Jake talks a little trash too. You talk a little trash too.
You just have to see me competing to actually know this. It doesn't come
out on podcasting because for me, podcasting is a competitive but when everyone gets
into their competitive side. I'm particularly a fan of Monopoly Go. I'm sure
you've heard of it. It's been downloaded over one hundred and fifty million times.

as we get into the third round, you are patients a wide receiver in
this Pro Football Network simulator has been rewarded in ways that it should probably not
be. Just to review quickly some of the big players, and this is
the last time celebrate. Yes, oh yeah, we're happy. You know
what's going to happen now real quick. You know what's going to happen.
People are going to say, people are going to say, see you can
wait until round three. Oh. I think people are just going to say
that this is unrealistic because this is crazy, but just really excittly. Last
time we'll do this. Some of the players that were picked since our last
pick, Trey Benson went the very next pick, Peyton Wilson, the linebacker.
Top linebacker in this class, I think by consensus goes also to the
Eagles, two picks later in the at fifty three, Jordan Morgan and Zach
Frazer go fifty four to fifty five, Morgan to the Browns. Notably there
the Ravens at a corner in case you were curious, Kayln Carson the Chiefs
arrival, just to let you know they've added Cedric Gray. Mike Hall makes
it all the way to the top of the third Ben Senate at sixty six,
So don't get our shot at Ben Sennett here in the third round.
But that's not what we're excited about either. Jonathan Brooks. So two running
backs going at sixty seven to go compete with Joe Mixon on the Houston Texans.
Jalen McMillan, ruc of Rovero Malechai Corley, Mike Sandrastril, Devandre Sweat,
Devandre Sweat, Braden Fisk all picked. So we're not going to get
our big bodied interior defensive lineman here with our eightieth pick. But in this
particular simulator, some names you did not hear me say selected. Jalen Polk,
Jaln Polk, Jalen Polk, Roman Wilson, Ricky Pursll. Three receivers
just again screaming at us at the top of this sport, screaming at us,
Hello, wide receiver. Thirst answered, and look, this is it's
a great scenario, Jake, because the Bengals they get their pick. I'll
tell you right now, mine of those three, mister Michigan, Roman Wilson,
sign me up, give me the speed, give me the guy that
can go off scripts. He's a little younger than Ricky Pearsall. I think
both of those guys Person and Wilson ahead of Polk for me in this fit,
I would be on board with probably any of them at this stage,
but certainly Wilson and Persall to me feel like just amazing values. And I
I'm gonna go with the kid from Hawaii. It's Roman Wilson. Yeah.
So the interesting thing here is actually that I don't know what the Angles would
pick any of these guys. All of these and even the next one,
I think they would hear in the third round. Maybe they make an exception,
but even even Devontes Walker, who's the next wide receiver available, they
met well virtually they did. All four of these guys do not tick their
breakout age threshold, and the closest is Ricky Pursl, who I know is
the oldest prospect coming out, but he is the closest on breakout age.
It's not the breakout age as a perfect metric by any means. The most
productive out of these guys is Polk. The most athletic out of these guys
in terms of tested athleticism is Ricky Pursl. The best in terms of the
PFF formula is Roman Wilson. Roman Wilson is going to be a speedy slot
guy in the NFL, and that's I think you can play outside. I
don't think the Bengals would play him outside at his height at five ten,
five to eleven, I don't know if that would be that that's not like
the prototype in any way of what the Bengals have done recently on receiver,
but Cities guys would be a change. Yeah, but Jamar plays like a
six to sixth receiver like he you know, he plays above the rent.
I know, I'm just I think. And that's what's interesting about receivers.
Everyone says, oh, well you can find them. Yeah, Well,
Purcell's awesome. He's twenty five, right, He's not really twenty five,
but close. Roman Wilson the production isn't fully there because that Michigan offense is
weird r So do you trust senior Bowl? Do you trust the off season?
That is? I think that's it's fun. So while this debate might
not be had at eighty, this debate could be had at forty nine.
And that's what I think is interesting. At this stage, I think they
are likely to deviate from it, and I think that this debate, like
I said, it could be a very real debate they have on draft night
at forty nine, depending on how the board falls. I know, Ricky
Purcell is almost twenty four and as like a fifth year senior and all this
stuff. Robant Wilson twenty three, a fourth year senior, Polk twenty two,
also a fourth year senior. All these guys are pretty experienced. All
these guys are pretty refined. The athleticism that personal offers and the route running
savvy that he offers really kind of sucks me in from a full profile perspective,
though Pulk is coming out of the highest on the good bary board right
now. Just as far as full disclosure, there is concerned. I just
have some concerns about the size for Wilson, but he can get open,
and I think, all, well, I think if you're looking for guys
to get open, Wilson in PERSL would be the two you would be looking
at here in terms of route running ability and fit as far as slot receivers,
because I think that would be their role at least immediately for the Bengals.
Sure, it would be either. I agree with that. Yeah,
I I lean I want the deeper threat, the guy that I think has
a little bit of a higher ceiling. So I would go with Roman Wilson
here is close and and they're they're very similar, But I would lean that
way. But we do have all the testing for Ricky, that fifth year
senior stuff. That's the one thing size wise he hasn't He is six one
one ninety and so I'm open. I'm open to either because I think both
of these guys would be open for Joe Burrow. They're all they're all good
prospects. I think, especially in the third round. Like I said we
were, we would expect these guys to be picked earlier. Polk has more
of that inside outside versatility. As far as I remember it, he played
you know, seventy percent of his snaps outside in college PERSL and Roman Wilson
right around forty percent each. So a little bit more inside outside versatility with
Polk if that's one of the things that you're looking for. But I'm happy
to continue to pick your favorite guys here. James, make this the James
Rapeen Mack Jazz. You know, I don't disagree with the come on.
Like I said, I don't disagree with any of these, but you've been
more aggressively setting the tone here. So we have spent way too much time
on this pick. We're gonna pick Rum and Wilson and make two more quick
picks here, and then we gotta get out of here. Jalen Polk makes
it all the way to ninety seven if you want to double down. D
Wayne Carter available. Dwayne Carter, McKinley Jackson available for those wondering. Odric
estebe certainly someone that I could see the Bengals considering this early cornerbacks Kayln King
Andrew Phillips out of Kentucky and Penn State. Melick Malik Mustafa one of the
few safeties of Bengals met with just to call that out. Wake Forest here
as well. Yeah, Jermaine Burton for those wondering I don't think the Bengals
will be in on him because he's been to fifty two schools. Mackai Wingo
the defensive tackle to LSU. If you're looking that way here, Brandon Coleman's
still available. I think if he's still around right now, you'd start to
consider as well out of TCU. Interestingly, in the PFF simulator, you
can get Brandon Coleman in the seventh round pretty much every time. If you're
looking to double up at tackle. Matt call gonk cav LISSNK kan Man.
That is impossible to say. I know I no one else on PODK.
I've heard so many podcasters actually skip saying his name. Javon Foster from Missouri
and Christian Jones stand out to me the most there. Brandon Cold, gonsol
Viz gonzol Viz Gonzalves, Thank you, Damee Brugler, who will be on
this show in the near future. Brandon Coleman, and Maason McCormick. Although
Coleman has some tackle guard flexibility the top of the tackle board the guardboard and
Tanner Tanner Bordolini Bowlemmer at the top of the center board. If you wanted
to look defensive tackle here, like you mentioned Dwane Carter, McKinley, Jackson,
mckaiewen Go. I'd actually be inclined to pick McKay wingo out of this
group. I think he comes out the highest on our board. He's young,
he has some pass rush up side, he has the production. I
would be looking m kay wingo for the interior defensive lineman here. I know
he's again a little bit smaller. He weighed two eighty four at six foot,
so that kind of maybe tells you maybe look away from defensive tackle here.
I like Estime. I don't know if this is where I like him.
I like Jalen Wright a lot. He's much lower on this board.
I would pick you Allen a year, Alan Estimate and Wright. The fact
that all three are there, and there's another pick at eighteen picks at pick
one fifteen, I say we hold off on running back because of that,
because there are three guys at least that you like at this In this stage,
none of the corners are yelling at me, none of the defensive tackles
we could take. Mkayway go here. He's consensus one sixteen. He's lower
on the consensus he might be able to get him later. He's one seventeen
on the PFN board as well. It feels a little richy to me,
but maybe that's where we are. McKinley Jackson got a six to seventh round
grade from Dame briggler Cade Stover. If you believe in kay Stover's athleticism and
the developmental bit there, you could take Kid's Stover. But I know that
more people are probably in your boat than not. Like you said, I
don't think the Bengals are drafting. It's Jermaine Burton. Could be just a
familiarity thing for me in Corner though, Like maybe the right pick here is
Corner and I'm just not seeing it. Maybe the right pick is Dwayne Carter,
but he's also coming out much lower on our board and on the consensus
board right there with Makaiwin go so we could go Mkai Wing go here,
take some pass rush upside and people will just be very upset. But we
don't have a nose tackle. Yeah, yeah they would. I think kaylen
King is too early. Let's go with McKay wing go here and see what
we can get later, because the Bengals aren't taking a nose tackle most likely
on Day two. It'll probably be a Day three, later round option and
McKinley Jackson falls, Prodric Sma falls, and I would not be shocked if
Sma is the pick here. Malik Washington is there and that one's interesting,
especially if they wait on receiver. Taken him around here would certainly be something
I would consider. Zach Zinter available for those wondering. Christian Jones Bordolini's still
there. But overall, I think that this is the estimate pick. What
do you think? I think I would believe the Bengals would pick estimate here,
but I am very tempted by Brandon Coleman in the fourth round as well.
I think the tackle guard versatility is real. He might even be a
better tackle. He would probably provide you some better depth. I think Jamari
Thrash from Louisville is an interesting name. Kyrie Jackson from Oregon an interesting name
at corner that you could also discuss here. But Odrick Estime fits a lot
of things that you like or will be looking for for the Bengals as a
complimentary back. He's got a proven track record of missing tackles. He could
develop from a good system into a souped up samajp Ryan, which is a
role this Bengals offense needs. He doesn't have the top end forty times,
but you have that with Jase Brown, So I see it as a good
fit from a complimentary perspective, and you get that weapon that would go with
a couple of trench players. We've got JC Latham, we've got Darius Robinson,
we've got Makai Wingo. So you know, maybe some of you like
McKinley Jackson and think this is a place to take him. Dame Brugler putting
a six seventh round grade on him really really gives me pause as far as
you know, just taking a nose cackle early here, and I'm not sure,
Like Jordan Jefferson might be the only other one that I would consider,
and he has some data that suggests he's worth the gamble. And he's six
two three thirteen so he's a bigger guy. But yeah, I could go
Adric estimate here. Yeah, let's go with the estimate. So JC Latham,
Darius Robinson, Roman Wilson, Makai Wingo, Adric estime, it's pretty
solid weapons and trenches. We'll see what the Bengals do but Jake, let's
go. We are late show. We're gonna make people so angry. This
mock draft Monday actually went into Monday at wild so long. So hopefully you
enjoyed the mock But Jake, take us out of here. Yeah, we
