Official 2022 Draft Day 2

[Zoo]

What is everyone's thoughts on Malik Willis QB Liberty?

Some "experts" thought he was top QB in draft. Do the Bengals think of drafting him here in 3rd round? Could be a cheap back-up for next 4 years or turn into trade bait if develops like some think he will. With big contracts coming going to need to cut some dollars else where to keep those players.

No

I agree I don't think they will draft him nor do I want them to but it is an interesting thought.

Nakobe Dean is more the type of player they will take a flyer on. Big injury concerns has caused him to drop and that is the Bengals MO.

Well the Eagles took a flyer on him before Bengals had a chance. Hope they do DL or TE with pick.

Zachary Carter?

The sleeper I wasn’t expecting.

Zac Carter DT Florida

Carter, standing at 6-foot-4, 282 pounds with 33.5-inch arms and 10.25-inch hands, participated in four drills at the Combine. He posted a 4.99-second 40-yard dash, 19 reps on the bench press, 27.5 inches in the vertical jump and 110 inches (nine feet, two inches) in the broad jump. His 10-yard split during the 40-yard dash was 1.73 seconds.

Has ability to play both inside and out so that is good seems bit of a project that was taken a round early. But end of 3rd round picks are always far from a sure thing.

Offensive line depth and Tight End still needs to fill.

Okay good we got our annual reach out of the way

Let’s go TE, OL, returner, Punter

Not crazy about the Carter pick. Could have gotten him 2 round later.

Not fast, no speed, plays slow. Will not play outside in the NFL with his speed. Will have to be a DT and there were a few good ones left the team could have drafted before him. They were Olinemen at combine who had less 40 times.

Yeah, apparently most draft experts feel this was a major reach. "Junior" Samples 2.0?

Hopefully they at least checked his Police file...

Mel Kiper:
I see defensive tackle Zachary Carter as a backup, not a starter, so the Bengals taking him at No. 95 is a reach. I know they have a need there, but I don't love reaching.
