The first round is in the books and even though a lot of Cincy Jungle members weren't very pleased with the results (namely passing on DeCastro for Zietler), there is still a long way to go in this draft. I personally love that the Bengals traded back and netted an extra third round pick. Yes, it was unfortunate that Pittsburgh got DeCastro as a result, but I think Zietler will be a solid pro and we now have the chance to address yet another position of need with a decently early pick. Here's the bottom line: No matter how you feel about Round 1 the Cincinnati Bengals are a BETTER team today than they were yesterday.
Anyways, now that day 2 is upon us, what players or positions would you like to see the Bengals address in the 2nd and 3rd rounds? For me it would have to be some combination of WR, S, and RB (Although I wouldn't mind a defensive lineman or linebacker if one starts to fall).
WR - With Reuben Randle, Stephen Hill, Alshon Jeffrey, Brian Quick, and Mohamed Sanu still on the board, we have a decent chance of landing one of them in the 2nd. And even if there is a big run of receivers before then there is still Marvin Jones, Nick Toon, and Chris Givens to fall back on in the third (plus there's always A.J Jenkins... oh wait....nevermind! MAJOR reach by the 49er's)
S - With Harrison Smith off the board the safety class is thin. I wouldn't use a 2nd round pick on any of the safety's left, but if we could nab Antonio Allen, Brandon Taylor, or Markelle Martin in the third I would be happy.
RB - I can't see Lamar Miller falling all the way down to our 2nd round pick with Doug Martin and David Wilson already off the board, so we're probably going to address RB in the third with a player like Isaiah Pead, LaMichael James, Bernard Pierce, or Robert Turbin.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
So basically my perfect haul for day 2 would be:
53: Reuben Randle
83: Isaiah Pead
93: Antonio Allen
(However, if LaVonte David, Courtney Upshaw, Lamar Miller, or Brandon Thompson fall to us in the 2nd I wouldn't complain.)
