Great move by waiving Burfict. Time to give this team an enema and start anew. (Don't be surprised if the Steelers fall in love with Burfict at some point and sign him to a contract or at minimum have him in for a visit).
Devon White would be a good pick, but IMO, Devin Bush would be a better pick. Unlike White, Bush is simply the overall better football player. Not only does Bush match White athletically, but he's much better in diagnosing plays, reading coverages, etc. When it comes to the mental part of playing LB'er, Bush is noticeably ahead of White. Personally, I see White missing more tackles the Bush and allowing more bigger plays because of not diagnosing plays quickly. I also like Bush's size. He's a bit shorter, but he uses this as an advantage by getting underneath ball carriers and pushing them back. He also weighs a nice 235 pounds. His playing speed, tackling ability and penchant for the big play is as good as White''s or better. Bush is also a great blitzed and great in coverage. Right now, I'm hoping for Bush in round one. White is still in my mix, but so isn't TE Trey Hockenson and OT Andre Dillard. I just hope the Bengals don't trade away a bunch of picks to move up to grab a QB. The Bengals need as many picks as possible now that they're rebuilding.

Devon white after his combine performance may not be there. I dont' see them grabbing an OL with the 1st pick. maybe rd 2. I don't see a CB now after the webb and denard signings. I believe we will see either a DL, LB or QB. And it wouldn't suprise me if they have a shot at Murray or Lock they don't jump on it. Of course they aren't going to let other teams know if they are looking to replacement Dalton they don't want teams jumping ahead of them. I'm not saying for sure a QB but don't rule it out. Dalton has gotten injured at the later part of the season 2 years in a row now. Your picking at 11, who knows where we might be next years draft could be further down. I think if a QB falls on them they might jump on it.
I think we need to go OT and defense defense. We will see what they do I guess. They didn't do a lot in FA but enough to open up this pick a little more.

Good insight 77 and Lostwou. With the current players and FA signings, it will probably be the best player that fill a need (OL, LB, DE, DT). If it is a QB they are looking for the future.

It is really hard knowing exactly what they will do it all comes down to who is on the board. I would be happy with either LB. My issue is still with Bobby Hart. Backup ok. Starter? That scares me. I think they solved problem at OG for now. I think LB first pick. then OT. all defense after that except maybe a TE and more linemen in rd 6. We need 2 LBs. |

With a new HC I wouldn't rule out anything. Even a QB. Drew Lock? They will draft a QB this year or next year. They might not want to risk picking further down next year. Just sayin don't rule it out. Especially if Haskins or Murray or Lock are there. They might groom him behind Dalton this year and cut Dalton lose next year make cap space. I don't know we are dealing with an offensive minded coach. We could see a QB. I know they interviewed Jones.

I agree. The Bengals could go in several different directions. QB, LB, or OT. It's all on the table.
Here's a rough mock draft.
Round One: LB Devin Bush, Michigan
Round Two: OT Tytus Howard, Alabama State
Round Three: WR Andy Isabella, UMASS

You nailed it 77! Keep going. Isabella is my choice for WR. He was a terror in the senior bowl. I thought who is this guy? |
