2024 NFL Draft Tracking Thread.

[Bengals1]

First draft grades are in...

18. Cincinnati Bengals: Amarius Mims, OT, Georgia - Grade: B-
Big player. Big risk. Big reward. The 6-8, 340-pound Mims is massively talented and might develop into one of the NFL's most imposing blockers over time. With only eight career starts, though, he's very much an unproven product. Trent Brown likely will have to handle the starting role at right tackle in the early going, but Mims fits the bill of what Cincinnati seems to want from its offensive linemen. But when can the Bengals trust him to keep Joe Burrow clean?

He's only 21 years old as well.

With Newton slipping out of the first what are the odds we trade up to land him?

I'm all for it but it doesn't fit our mold.

We will not be drafting Sweat at 49. That's all I know.

Nick Satan gets it

“This guy’s got all the tools — he’s got great size, he’s got great power. … But it makes you wonder, how did the guy only start eight (games)? Like, in the SEC championship game, he played only the first 15 plays of the game and then he’s out,” Saban said on the broadcast. “Takes himself out. I don’t know what he injured, what he hurt, whatever. But you’ve got to be a little bit more consistent in your performance if you’re going to be a great player and a starter in the National Football League.”

They need to rebuild their roster, and cheap. Stock piling picks will do it.

I personally take what Saban says with a grain of salt. First off Nick Saban hasn't put out a NFL worthy OT in a long time, secondly he's bitter the kid refused to go to Bama. He started 8 games because of injury, and he was sitting behind starting NFL OT's.

Thinking that too. We seem content on just picking whomever is there at the time. It's like we never do enough...other teams do. We don't.
