If Justin Jefferson and Clyde Edwards-Helaire not taken in 1st round

The best OL available

I love Joe. But he’s not going to tell the GM of an NFL team who to draft.

He told Cincy at combine interview he wants them to keep A.J. Green. Next day word was Cincy would franchise tag A.J. When Joe speaks Cincy apparently listens. He didn't come upon BDJ moniker by happenstance.

I don’t think CEH goes in the first round. I know Cincy doesn’t need an RB and they have much bigger needs than WR.

If he’s smart he says an Oline

Bengals have good skill position guys at WR and RB

Never a bad idea and don’t forget the Bengals are getting a first round LT back.

I wouldn’t be surprised if he hasn’t watched film on them yet to evaluate their needs.

Let’s go with who he might like to see drafted...or...who they’ll actually draft?

It’d be sweet (and unexpected) if they drafted another Tiger to go keep him company but, Joe Mixon is very good and AJ Green should be back if he’s all healed up. If Green leaves, they could easily draft a WR at 33; highly likely if someone as good as JJ slips out of rd 1.

There are plenty of good WRs coming out this year (there could be 2nd rd talent taken in rd 4; there are so many).

Hopefully they will draft the best OL they can for the first few rds to keep BDJ upright for years to come. But I wouldn’t be mad if they drafted like a Grant Delpit or Patrick Queen at 33.
