    Barrett Carter of Clemson just now being drafted. Had a disappointing season and probably should have come out last year.

    Bengals got a guy with exceptional athleticism who has great upside. Someone needs to light a fire in him.

    I could have misread something then. His ball security is a major plus for him.

    Skattebo right there and had 45 catches for 605 yds (plus a different tier of runner)

    If you’re going to trade a future 3rd, get the better player

    Yeah and I made the statement before I saw who we had picked. At least we didn't give up our lone 3rd round pick, but not a fan of the pick personally. Especially with Mbow sitting there still and us still not knowing our OL is completely solid. Weapon is fine, but not an older RB at that cost IMO.

    I don't like the pick. This is getting frustrating

    It seems to me like they're targeting guys with a specific skill set who may not grade out high overall but can be valuable contributors for what we need them to do. Smith as Pitre insurance (we saw the effect when he got injured last year) and Marks as a 3rd down receiving threat.

    He's as old as a retired Arian Foster!

    For RBs nothing over 23. Really wanted Jaydon Blue catching out of the backfield. Oh well. Welcome aboard, Marks.

    Mbow has T-REX arms. That's why he is still on the board.

    Last couple of picks feel like reaches that you didn’t need to trade up for, but what do I know? Hopefully, the organization knows what they’re doing. Certainly feels like O-line is still going to be a problem this season.

    Colts just drafted a 6' 7" OT. We need one of those.

    I honestly don't care about reaching in late rounds. Everyone is a gamble at this point.
