What Cincinnati Bengals Should Be Thinking About 17th Overall Pick

Transcript

00:00I look at the 17th overall pick and I look at the Bengals and you could legitimately make a case

00:05that safety is going to be the best player available. Defensive tackle, defensive end,

00:10these edge rushers, offensive line is going to be the best player available.

00:14Cornerback is going to be the best player available. Linebacker is going to be the

00:17best player available. If you think Ashton Gente falls to pick 17, running back is going to be the

00:22best player available. Tight end could be the best player available with Colston Loveland and

00:25Tyler Warren. That's eight positions. We're at eight spots right now. And I didn't include

00:31offensive tackle even though Kelvin Banks is an offensive tackle for Texas, they would draft him

00:35and play him at guard. Will Campbell is an offensive tackle for LSU, they would draft him

00:39and play him at guard. Will Campbell is probably not making it to the Bengals at 17. But if he did,

00:45of course you would run to draft him, right? Of course you would. Ashton Gente is in that same

00:51realm of prospect, where of course you would run to draft the running back if he fell to 17. He

00:56won't, he's not going to be there. But when you draft players and not positions, you're getting

01:02the guys that are going to make an impact right away, the guys that are going to come in

01:06and help your team. In the Bengals, they need help in a plethora of areas. And the good news is,

01:12is when I look at this draft and I look at who could be available at 17, they should be able

01:16to find someone that can help right away.
