Tyson or Tate don't seem like a sure thing to me to take them at number 9. Tysons injuries are too much for me. We can't afford to draft another guy high and then they play 2-8 games a year on their rookie deals. I'd rather take a position of less need say Downs at 9 if the rushers aren't available then making a high risk pick. Simply put you gotta get a good quality starter at 9. Rest of draft you can gamble more with high upside guys
That the pick was traded to the Giants last week, forgot about that one, so the Giants get Downs not the Bengals.
Only thing I can think of is he was their top target and they caught wind that either someone ahead of them was going to take him or trade their pick to someone that wanted to. Would love to be a fly on the wall in the war room on draft day to know how these things go down.
Somehow, I feel that is going to be the spot where the Jets or Cards trade back into the first round to take Simpson if Pitt doesn't pull the trigger.
Very well could be, the Athletic has Delane as their 6th highest rated player, but still not sure what they were thinking trading up. Bain's short arms must have everyone spooked about him.
Hell who knows, maybe Boston out of Washington fix the WR room, the DT draft is fairly deep, they can get a good one there at 40. Looks like all the better edges are off the board, so now you are looking at the 2nd group of players. Maybe the rush end from Missouri. Heck maybe Miller OT from Clemson.
