What do the Bengals coaches, fans and the media have to say about fourth round draft pick, Andrew Billings? Well, this might be the Bengals' best pick yet and it's clear that EVERYONE is happy. Seriously, we couldn't find one bad thing said about the impressive defensive tackle out of Baylor.
Wingo on Billings: "Just a massive human being." #Bengals #NFLDraft

The #Bengals get billings. Nice value. He will have time to develop and could be Peko's replacement
— James Rapien (@JamesRapien) April 30, 2016
The Bengals strike again. I can't tell you exactly why he fell and maybe there is more than we know... but at this spot that's a big value

Baylor DT Andrew Billings, an underclassman, had been projected as first-round pick by many of us. Went to Bengals in fourth round.

#Bengals take defensive tackle Andrew Billings from Baylor in 4th round, known as a run stopper.
— Joe Kay (@apjoekay) April 30, 2016
Billings was rated a late first-round/early second round pick. Supposedly medicals checked out no other issues either, curious he lasted
— Richard Skinner (@Local12Skinny) April 30, 2016
Run stopping DT. Look to the future beyond Peko, 32.

Billings was a first team All-American and co-defensive player of the year in the Big 12.
— Joe Danneman (@FOX19Joe) April 30, 2016
they talked about Billings as early as 2nd round. Believe he helps run d immediately

WOW

Marvin Lewis, #Bengals love 4th Rd DL. And for good reason:
— Paul Dehner Jr. (@pauldehnerjr) April 30, 2016
16: Billings
15: Hardison
10: Atkins
06: Peko
04: Geathers
DL coach Jacob Burney: Billings tosses OL off of him and gets to the ball. Plays tough. Extremely strong.
— Paul Dehner Jr. (@pauldehnerjr) April 30, 2016
Lewis says almost impossible to pass Billings up this time around considering where they had him rated. "Some point have to pick that guy."
— Paul Dehner Jr. (@pauldehnerjr) April 30, 2016
Marvin Lewis: Real excited. Andrew Billings was one of the guys we had rated pretty high.
— Paul Dehner Jr. (@pauldehnerjr) April 30, 2016
Have fun Brother!! We just got Billings you are good luck don't go anywhere!! Mike Thomas coming!! https://t.co/VXrzU1buHq
— Cody Tewmey (@codiki) April 30, 2016
Marvin has said "excited" twice already about the Billings pick. I mean look at that smile. @fox19 pic.twitter.com/QvQhV78kK6

And it didn't change just cause the Billings pick...we do our work our way, and stick to it... https://t.co/gl7sOZ54TL
— Who Dey Nation CEO (@BengalsFiend) April 30, 2016
I like all the picks we got so far. #WhoDey
— Dre Kirkpatrick (@DreKirkSWAG) April 30, 2016
Burney: Billings is a power lifter. Set records in squads, dead lift. Not a phone booth guy. Will make plays tackle to tackle & push pocket
— Jay Morrison (@JayMorrisonCMG) April 30, 2016
HECK YES IT IS. TODAY IS A GOOD DAY https://t.co/wQYyxYDPiX

Happiest man is @GenoSacks now he's going to eat QBs like Joey Chestnut at Coney Island on July 4th!! #NoMoreDoubles https://t.co/FtJvGRF6aq
— Cody Tewmey (@codiki) April 30, 2016
D-line coach Burney: Billings is solid. Not lot of height, but has long arms. Doesn't play short. Tosses O linemen. Head knocker #Bengals
— Jay Morrison (@JayMorrisonCMG) April 30, 2016

This is the time of year where people say, "the #Bengals scouting department should be given more credit", then ignores them until next year
— Josh Kirkendall (@Josh_Kirkendall) April 30, 2016
Marvin on why Billings still there: His height maybe. Was restrictive for some people. We like everything about him. #Bengals
— Jay Morrison (@JayMorrisonCMG) April 30, 2016
So the Bengals have added depth at all three units on defense: Secondary/CB (WJ3), LB (Vigil), and DL (Billings).
— Josh Kirkendall (@Josh_Kirkendall) April 30, 2016
#Bengals DT @BillingsAndrew: I'm pretty surprised that I was still sitting here in the 4th round.
— SiriusXM NFL Radio (@SiriusXMNFL) April 30, 2016
Every team passed on Andrew Billings for 3+ rounds for a reason. He has his issues, but this is good value for the #Bengals.
— James Rapien (@JamesRapien) April 30, 2016
Bengals hitting all the needs. Maybe another wideout at some point?
— Lindsay Patterson (@LndsPatterson) April 30, 2016
Andrew Billings on if he was surprised he was still there: "I was, but hey, what can I say?"
— Paul Dehner Jr. (@pauldehnerjr) April 30, 2016
Dope dope dope dope dope dope dope pick in Billings, man
— Jake Liscow (@Jake_NFL) April 30, 2016
My favorite thing about Billings is probably that he's 20
— Jake Liscow (@Jake_NFL) April 30, 2016
Swap Billings and Vigil and #BengalsTwitter is rollin
— Jake Liscow (@Jake_NFL) April 30, 2016
Billings on chip on shoulder: "I can't even explain how huge it is. I like the feeling." #Bengals
— Paul Dehner Jr. (@pauldehnerjr) April 30, 2016
Billings said he squatted 805 as a senior in high school. For those who rarely see a gym like me, that's a lot.
— Paul Dehner Jr. (@pauldehnerjr) April 30, 2016
Billings says any reports he was invited to Chicago for the draft at one point are not true. Says he was misinformed.
— Paul Dehner Jr. (@pauldehnerjr) April 30, 2016
Billings says he has a bunch of people at his house Thursday. "My agent started going crazy when third round passed."
— Paul Dehner Jr. (@pauldehnerjr) April 30, 2016
Billings said before today talked w/ agent about how Geno Atkins went in the fourth round.
— Paul Dehner Jr. (@pauldehnerjr) April 30, 2016
Knowing Domata Peko's personality, he'll embrace Andrew Billings... and he couldn't have asked for a better mentor.
— Josh Kirkendall (@Josh_Kirkendall) April 30, 2016
Billings pick is why the #Bengals are consistently a winning team despite having Marvin Lewis as their head coach. #BengalsDraft
