That's a very large hold up. The quality of player at 12 should be massively superior to that at 19. IMO the Raiders would be idiots to cave and the Jaguars would be fools not to accept 19.

I agree because Jaguars would have back to back picks at #19 and #20

I heard the Dolphins love Mims so Dolphins will probably select him at #18 or #26, did you all remember that Vikings fleeced the Dolphins to move up 1 spot to draft Vernon Carey? I am hoping it would happen again with Mims at #25, haha!

Just saw a rumor that Dolphins are trying to get #3 while holding onto #5 and then combine 3 and 5 to move up to #1.

Yep this is getting goofier by the minute. To get to 3 without including 5 Miami would have to give 18 and 26 probably their 2nd 3rd and 4th round picks this year and another 1st next year. That might be enough.

That rumor is false, Bengals already told Dolphins a big fat NO and told Burrow yesterday that Bengals are drafting him

I don’t think it will happen either, but I saw it on Rotoworld and shared it since this is a draft thread. I didn’t realize you were in the Bengals draft room and had first hand knowledge. I’ll keep that in mind if I have any questions since my lady is a Bengals fan, God bless her.

Expect the Tiger King mullet wig to be as ubiquitous in Cincy as the cheese head is in Green Bay.

I hope Bengals will turn in their pick quickly instead of using the whole clock

One thing I wanted to bring up with you guys. I’m not a player analyst by any stretch of the imagine. I know my limitations and tend to focus more on the big picture as opposed to detailed breakdown of players. But I’ve been kind of warming up to the idea of grabbing Fromm at some point in the draft. He seems like he’s a little underrated from what I’ve read. In my opinion we need to grab a QB that can possibly be a solid backup or takeover when/if the Cousins experiment is over. Any thoughts?

I wouldn't be upset with Fromm in the 4th, I would like Fromm in the 5th.
This guy makes a great case for Hurts https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XBQawLGh8Us and I'm now sold on him. Check it out at 1:32:15

I certainly wouldn’t mind Hurts either. In fact, I’d be kind of excited with Hurts. The only reason I didn’t t mention him is I think he’ll go earlier than where I’d be comfortable taking him.

After watching the link above I wouldn't hesitate for a second taking him in the third.

Oh I’m with you. If we still have both our 3rds I’d love to grab him there. I just don’t think he’ll make it that long. Then again, I’m guessing we’ll use one of those 3rds to move up at some point so who knows.
