Cincinnati Bengals. EDTShareTweetShareShare2 scenarios for a 5-round Bengals
mock draftWe’re less than a week away from the kickoff of the NFL Draft and no
one is fully certain as to what the Cincinnati Bengals are thinking with their
early picks. While we’ve reported on other mock drafts concerning the team, we
have held off on bringing you our own. Well, on this week’s Orange and Black
Insider, John Sheeran and I unveiled our 5-round mocks for the Bengals. We used
a formula, of sorts, to come to our conclusions, but both classes should
theoretically improve the club right away. There are some surprises, but here’s
how we came to our respective conclusions:Things we think we know about the
Bengals going into the NFL DraftThe Bengals probably think that they have the
offensive line mostly figured out for 2019. In re-signing Bobby Hart, Alex
Redmond and Trey Hopkins, while also bringing in John Miller to start at right
guard, the team may not be overly-eager to reach for an offensive lineman early.
Speaking of the line and offseason transactions, the interior line is very
crowded. Aside from Miller, Redmond and Hopkins being back in the fold, the team
still has Christian Westerman, Billy Price and Clint Boling as interior options.
Some of those players can be upgraded, but again, the Bengals probably feel that
they’ve limited the desperation for the positions going into next week. John
Sheeran and I believe that the Bengals will either take a quarterback with pick
No. 11, or they will go with a day 3 developmental guy. As we all know, this is
a polarizing class of quarterbacks and Zac Taylor may want to ride with Andy
Dalton in his new system for at least the short-term. Cincinnati needs some
depth and contingency plans at running back and wide receiver. It’s entirely
possible that character will play a big part in Zac Taylor’s first draft class.
After preaching about it in his early pressers and sending Mark Walton packing
after three 2019 arrests, he’ll want to make sure he brings the right guys in
the building. The Bengals traditionally like grabbing players from big programs
and successful conferences. The SEC, PAC-12 and BIG 12 usually headline the
list—the reasons behind it range from their liking players who faced the
stiffest competition, to a limited scouting department who more closely watch
the more prominent programs. The confines of these mocksWhile there is always
the likelihood of some of these players being gone at some of their allotted
spots, odd and unpredictable things happen every year at the draft. Many become
sure that certain players won’t be available, but scenarios play out that bring
the seemingly impossible to fruition (see: Billings, Andrew). The mocks are a
combination of what we think we know (above), what the Bengals traditionally do,
what the team needs and some players we’ve kept close tabs on in recent weeks.
Anthony Cosenza’s 5-round mock draftRound 1, pick No. 11: Ed Oliver, defensive
tackle, HoustonSummary: There is a strong chance that Oliver is off of the board
when the Bengals are on the clock, but a couple of realistic scenarios exist in
which he becomes available (strong defensive line class, questions on his size,
a run on quarterbacks). Cincinnati should sprint to the podium if this kid and
his 53 college career tackles for loss are ripe for the picking.Round 2, pick
No. 42: Mack Wilson, linebacker, AlabamaSummary: This position is the team’s
biggest need and they could address it in the first. Opinions vary on Wilson,
who has flashed All-Pro potential, but mostly in 2017—not last year. Still, he
moves well and has a mean streak in him, which is what the Bengals need in the
teeth of their defense. Round 3, pick No. 72: Riley Ridley, wide receiver,
GeorgiaSummary: Unfounded and admittedly weak trade rumors have come and gone
about both A.J. Green and John Ross this offseason Color Rush Michael Jordan Jersey , while both Tyler Boyd and Green are in contract years. Ridley ran slower than folks thought, so he’s probably dropping
to the late-second/early-third round range. He isn’t as explosive as his older
brother, Calvin Ridley, but Riley does everything else at a solid level. At a
minimum, he’d be a great addition for Taylor’s probable frequent usage of four
wide receiver sets. Round 4, pick No. 110: Chuma Edoga, offensive tackle,
USCSummary: Cincinnati needs a developmental, long-term solution for both tackle
spots and Edogafits the bill. His tape shows times of great run blocking and
pass protection, but it’s not always put together at the same time and in the
same game. He needs to learn consistency, but should be at least a good spot
starter in the NFL. Round 5, pick No. 149: Bryce Love, running back,
StanfordSummary: This kid is a blend of production and character, with his
former college coach, David Shaw, comparing him to Jamaal Charles. His 2018
season was littered with injuries, but he was a Heisman hopeful in 2017 after
racking up over 2,100 rushing yards and 19 touchdowns. He’ll be a situational
player in the NFL, but should be a spark plug for an offense. John Sheeran’s
5-round Bengals mock draftRound 1, pick No. 11: Devin Bush, linebacker,
MichiganSummary: John went with the safest and most likely scenario for the
Bengals in the first round. Bush was also the pick for Cincy Jungle in the SB
Nation contributor mock draft, and the former Wolverine has the ability to be an
immediate, three-down starter for a defense that needs a lot of improvement from
a deplorable 2018 season. Round 2, pick No. 42: Dalton Risner, offensive tackle,
Kansas StateSummary: Risner is a guy who is just a solid all-around offensive
lineman. Aside from his tenacity as a blocker, he also has a little experience
at other spots on the line. He may need a year to develop, but some people think
he could be the second coming of Andrew Whitworth. Round 3, pick No. 72: Jachai
Polite, edge, FloridaSummary: Initially, Polite was a guy who had first round
hype. But, as more scouts and pundits watched further tape, it became apparent
that he has work to do if he ever wants to be an NFL starter. Cincinnati could
use a little more pass-rush help, given Carl Lawson coming off of a 2018 knee
injury and what seems like the end of the Michael Johnson era. Round 4, pick No.
110: Terry McLaurin, wide receiver, Ohio StateSummary: The Bengals recently met
with McLaurin at the local visits and workouts day, so they could pounce after
being very familiar with him. He was a big-play threat with the Buckeyes, as
evidenced by his 20 yards per catch average and 11 touchdowns in 2019. He also
provides immediate help on special teams as a gunner. Round 5, pick No. 149:
Daylon Mack Cheap Michael Jordan Jersey , defensive lineman, Texas A&MSummary: Mack is another one of those versatile defensive linemen the Bengals have traditionally
liked. Jim Turner is also very familiar with him, as his offensive line unit
went up against the former Aggies defender in practice.Bengals Mailbag:
Impressive wins, Alex Van Pelt’s impact and Jessie Bates for Rookie of the Year
It’s that time of year again — “Steelers Week.” There is an ensuing debate among
Bengals fans about Week 6 being a “must win”. Regardless of your current stance,
it’s a huge game for the AFC North implications down the road. We received a
number of interesting questions this week—primarily through The Orange and Black
Insider podcast. However, they weren’t so Steelers-driven as one may expect
during this time of year. *****One of our listeners called in and didn’t really
have a question as much as a comment about the 2018 Bengals. He essentially said
that he was very impressed with the ways this team has gone about winning their
four games so far this season. Pretty much every Bengals fan has to be in
agreement on that one. A duo of frenzied comebacks, a game-winning touchdown
with six seconds left and a primetime win against a quality divisional opponent
have to bring smiles to Who Dey Nation. The good news here is that is has bred
confidence in the team that they can come back from any deficit in almost any
situation. And, when you get a young team believing in something early on, it’s
usually a bit of momentum that carries throughout a year. However, as we’ve said
a number of times and seemingly after each of these thrilling wins, one has to
wonder about the sustainability of their style of winning. 27-point second half
wins don’t grow on trees in the NFL, so the Bengals should be searching for any
kind of semblance of consistency.If the offense can perform at or near what
they’ve done for the first five games, the defense can be middle-of-the-pack and
Darrin Simmons’ unit stops allowing these ridiculous back-breaking plays on
special teams, this team can go far. “If” being the operative word...*****On
this week’s show, we received a text message from a fan in Hawaii asking about
the impact of a certain assistant coach. However, it wasn’t about Teryl Austin,
Bob Bicknell or Frank Pollack.Andy Dalton looks like a different quarterback
this season. Many facets to his game resemble the magical things he did in his
final year with Hue Jackson back in 2015, but there are noticeable differences.
For instance, in Jackson’s offense, trickery, odd formations and the usage of
numerous weapons were all part and parcel of his weekly game plans. Jackson and
Dalton also had a pretty stellar line in front of them that season. Bill Lazor
has adopted some of these same concepts, but has also put his own stamp on
things. Instead of splitting out two offensive linemen in the slots as Jackson
did somewhat frequently, he’s using more roll-out passes and misdirection plays.
It’s led to Dalton being in a tie for third in the NFL with 12 touchdown passes
through five games. Jared Goff, Tom Brady and Andrew Luck are his contemporaries
in the category—not bad, No. 14. The other facet going into Dalton’s early
success aside from his own maturity and comfort level within Lazor’s scheme is
the re-stocking of offensive weapons. There are essentially four new starters on
the offensive line, John Ross appears to be growing up and the two tight ends
behind the now-injured Tyler Eifert are definitely capable. In short, with the
Bengals’ defense suffering a bit of an identity crisis throughout much of the
first part of the schedule, Lazor and Dalton deserve heaps of credit for the
team being 4-1. But, there’s a hidden face behind Cincinnati’s offensive success
this year. Quarterbacks coach Alex Van Pelt arrived this offseason with a slew
of other assistant coaches and they have all made a difference. Apparently, Van
Pelt was critical to many facets of Aaron Rodgers’ game in Green Bay—so much so
that there have been rumblings about the Packers’ signal-caller being upset
about his departure.“I thought that was an interesting change, really without
consulting me,” Rodgers said of the decision to let Van Pelt walk back in
February, per ESPN and SB Nation’s Acme Packing Co. “There’s a close connection
between quarterback and quarterback coach, and that was an interesting
decision.”His loss is Dalton’s gain. Where the changes seem to be most apparent
this year is Dalton’s ability to rise above pressure and not get as skittish as
he’s been in recent seasons. This offensive line is improved from 2017, no
doubt, but they still have had their issues. Dalton has made many more quality
throws under pressure and/or on the run this year. Take this one (a wobbly one,
to be sure) from Sunday—right on the money. These extensions of plays and
maneuvering in the pocket have been trademarks of Rodgers’ game for
years—especially under Van Pelt’s tutelage. We’re not saying Dalton is Rodgers,
as No. 12 can do things many other players can’t, but there is a semblance of
similar play this year. Another facet that has seemingly been added to Dalton’s
game, and, subsequently, the rest of the Bengals team, is confidence. Dalton
doesn’t seem to be as easily rattled this year—especially after a turnover. He
believes he can make any throw on the field Michael Jordan Jersey Womens , and by and large, he’s shown it this year. Quite seriously, if you’re asking me who’s an early front-runner for Bengals coach of
the year, it’s Van Pelt. Sure, Lazor has more overall responsibility in his lap,
but you have to love what we’ve seen from the most important position on the
team. *****Recently, the chatter on Jessie Bates III has picked up a bit. After
nabbing an interception in Week 2 on national T.V. this year’s second round pick
got a P.R. boost. Add in the game-sealing interception last week against the
Dolphins and he’s emerging as that turnover machine coaches saw at Wake Forest.
On this week’s OBI episode, one of our callers started talking about Bates and
asked if he should be in NFL Rookie of the Year consideration. After all, those
two interceptions have him tied for second-highest in the league, albeit with a
bunch of other players. The short answer to the question is “yes, he should be
in consideration”. However, there’s a long “but” to the tail end of that
supposition. Let’s start with the bad news. Oftentimes, these awards given out
by the league hinge on popularity contests. Cincinnati hasn’t had postseason
success recently, and they are a small-to-mid market team, in terms of NFL
landscape. The Watt brothers, J.J. and T.J., co-lead the league in sacks with
six this season. Would you like to know who’s currently part of that three-way
tie for the league-lead? Geno Atkins. But, is he getting the fanfare and
Defensive Player of the Year run that the beloved boys from Wisconsin
receive?Nope. Bates not only has to fight for national attention as a Bengals
player, but also in his second round draft status. Some national writers and the
powers-that-be who nominate awardees tend to “surface fish” to get their haul,
so to speak.Derwin James has been a hot name this year—and for good reason. He
was regarded as a top-10 talent who slipped further than most thought, but has
been a very nice get for the Chargers, racking up 31 tackles, three sacks and an
interception. For reasons mentioned above and others, James appears to be one of
the front-runners for the award. Did I mention that he plays in Los
Angeles?Second, we can’t just use the above-mentioned excuses as to the only
reasons why Bates isn’t getting more national run. The Bengals’ defense is
ranked 25th overall and 22nd against the pass through five games this year. That
doesn’t exactly scream “elite”. Plus, we have seen a couple of perceived
miscommunications involving No. 30, as he quickly grows into a professional
starting safety. As far as things going in his favor this year towards a
possible ROY award? The stats and metrics point to a nomination. Compared to
James, Bates has one more tackle (32) and one more interception (two) than his
counterpart at this point. Damontae Kazee is the only rookie who has as many
picks as he does, while Denzel Ward (another viable candidate for this award) is
the only 2018 draftee who has more with three so far. As far as Pro Football
Focus goes, I personally like their metrics, but don’t use them as absolute NFL
Scripture. Even so, they have an impressive rating on Bates so far this year:At
83.9 through five games, Bates is their No. 5 safety in the NFL and resides in
their second of nine tiered ranking categories. He’s “high quality” by their
standards and that is making folks quickly forget about his predecessor, George
Iloka. If he stays healthy and remains productive, he’ll be in the mix for DPOY.
I don’t necessarily expect him to win it, but he should most definitely be on
the All-Rookie Team, at the very least. If you’re unable to join us live for
