2022 Draft Chatter

[MeatHeadbengal]

So far this looks like the list of guys the Bengals have spoken with;

[Bengals1]

Ian Rapoport @RapSheet
Trade: The #Eagles trade picks No. 16, 19, and 194 to the #Saints in exchange for picks No. 18, 101, 237, a 2023 first-round pick, and a 2024 second-round pick.

Saints got fleeced there. They must have someone in mind to move up for, and they are stockpiling picks, but I just don't see any players in this year's draft worth doing that. On the other hand, the Eagles can now give Jalen Hurts another year and if they aren't sold, they'll be well equipped to get somebody from a much better QB draft.

I've seen several mock drafts that have us taking him in the 2nd or 3rd....


Ian Rapaport @Rapsheet
One of the Draft’s top TE’s, #UCLA’s Greg Dulcich, continues a busy month with a Top-30 visit with the #Falcons today and tomorrow. He’s met with over 20 teams in the past month, including with TE-needy teams such as the #Bengals, #Packers, #Colts & #Chargers, among others.

From the Athletic Draft Guide (posted in the members only section if you haven't checked it out yet)

Grade 3rd Round (No. 80 Overall)

SUMMARY: A two-year starter at UCLA, Dulcich was a hybrid Y tight end in head coach Chip Kelly’s offense, splitting his snaps 50/50 between inline and detached. A
former walk-on, he became a starter prior to the 2020 season and led the Bruins in receiving each of the last two years, adding a big-play threat to the offense (three
touchdown catches of 50-plus yards). Dulcich is at his best as a “big slot” with his ability to find open zones or attack the seam/crossers with his pull-away
acceleration (averaged 17.6 yards per catch in his career). As a blocker, his pass protection has a quick expiration date and he needs to continue developing his play
strength and hand technique. Overall, Dulcich needs continued maturation as a blocker, but he is explosive as a pass-catcher with a good-sized catch radius and
separation burst before and after the catch. He projects best as an “F” tight end in the NFL with mismatch value.

There's a lot more info available, but that's the overall synopsis.

PFF has him graded as 98th overall. Both have him ranked behind Trey McBride of Colorado State as the second ranked Tight End in the draft.

Jordan Schultz @Schultz_Report
When it comes to the #Bengals, I’m told corner remains a key priority entering the draft. Prospects they like include Andrew Booth Jr., Kaiir Elam, Roger McCreary, Tariq Woolen and Jalen Pitre (safety who can also play nickel).

Keep an eye on Cam Jurgens. Pollack really likes him. Probably 3rd rd pick.

The #Bengals are hosting Arizona State CB Jack Jones on a pre-draft visit. Late add to their meeting schedule. Jones ran a 4.51 40 at the Combine and was timed in the 4.4s at his pro day. Potential Day 3 pick.
