Bengals Second and Third Round Mock Draft

I’m a million percent down with Jones at 2. Would love a WR in round 3. I doubt Mims or Pittman will be there. I’d love to see them fall. I’d take Hamler a top at 3 though if all else fails. I believe if you get Burrow the protection he can make any WR better. The more weapons around Burrow the better.

Josh Jones is still on the board! Jones was projected to go in round one or early in round two. This indicates to me that he has a flaw of some sort and every team is aware of it. If not, he would've been picked by now. I wonder what's causing him to fall?

The Bengals continue to fill holes while building for the future and the Tee Higgins pick is a perfect example. The Bengals take full advantage of a WR rich draft and get a first round talent in round two. Great player. Great pick. Great value. Burrow will now have a WR corp made up of AJ Green, Tyler Boyd, John Ross, Auden Tate and now Tee Higgins. That's a solid group of receivers and with Burrow at QB, we may not have seen their best. There's a chance that Burrow will resurrect Ross' career. I sure hope so because Ross could become a nightmare for opposing defenses if he stays healthy and becomes consistent.

I absolutely love the Logan Wilson pick. The Bengals fill the last spot on defense that really needed an upgrade. Wilson is a tackling machine and a great pass defender. I could see him becoming a great pass rusher too. The Bengals basically run a 4-3 defense, but with the addition of DJ Reader and now Wilson, the Bengals can also run 3-4 defense on occasion. This would allow the Bengals to blitz Germain Pratt, Carl Lawson and now Wilson. The possibilities are endless of what they can now do on defense.

I think the Bengals are getting the guys they wanted and all three picks will contribute this year. That's huge. However, the Bengals play in the black-n-blue AFC North so it's important to add some big uglies with a mean streak and I think they'll do just that with their next pick. Adding a linemen at either G or OT in round four is a must. Adding another one in round five or six would be wise. Hopefully the o-linemen they're targeting are still available. Don't be surprised if one or both protected Joe at LSU.
