2019 Bengals Draft Picks

[ChickenWyngz]

Love that this thread is lit up with posts about wanting Rosen, who another team thought so much of to move on from after 1 year. 25+ other teams thought so much of him not to even offer the 2nd round pick that the Dolphins eventually gave. Maybe Taylor knows what he's doing?

 

For fun, if Andy is put on the trade block during the draft, would he fetch a 2nd rounder?

Dalton after 2015 probably gets a 2nd rounder. Dalton after the last three years probably would get a 4th round pick, or maybe a 3rd if a team is desperate because their starter got hurt.

 

As for you thoughts on 25+ other teams not wanting to give up a 2nd round pick for Rosen. Well lets take a deeper look.

 

AFC East: (Dolphins only team really needing a QB)

Pats weren't going to give up a 2nd round pick to get a backup for them.

Bills just drafted their guy last year.

Jets drafted their guy last year too.

Dolphins have an opening for a starter.

 

AFC North (Bengals only team that doesn't have an elite QB, or just drafted a future franchise QB)

Steelers just extended Big Ben and drafted Rudolph last year.

Ravens drafted Lamar Jackson last year in 1st.

Browns drafted Mayfield

Bengals have a guy going into year 9 who has had one year that would be considered better than average. A guy who has played bad in big moments.

 

AFC South (No one in the division looking for a QB)

Colts have Luck

Titans still holding out hope on Mariotta

Texans just drafted Watson

Jags already traded for their QB.

 

AFC West (Raiders could have been a possibility)

Denver had a 1st round talent fall to them in the 2nd, so no need to trade.

Oakland has Carr, but could have been a possibility

Chiefs have Mahomes enough said.

Chargers a possibility but depends on how much longer they think Rivers can go.

 

NFC East (No teams in need of one since Redskins got Haskins)

Eagles drafted Wentz just 3 years ago

Dallas drafed Prascott just 3 years ago

Giants used the 6th overall on a QB.

Redskins got Haskins

 

NFC North (No team in need of one)

Green Bay has Rodgers

Detroit has Stafford

Bears just drafted their guy 2 years ago

Vikings just gave out a huge contract for a QB last year

 

NFC South (Tampa could have been a possibility)

Falcons have Ryan

Saints Brees

Bucs have Winston but could have been a possibility

Carolina has Newton

 

NFC West (No one was looking for one)

49ers have their guy

Rams have their guy

Cardinals obviously just drafted Murray

Seattle has Wilson

 

So looking at that there may have only been 5 teams at most that realistically would even consider giving up a 2nd rounder for him. The Dolphins, Bengals, Chargers, Raiders, Bucs.

 

All these other teams have their franchise QB sets already. So it's more like only 4 other teams weren't willing to give up a 2nd rounder for him. Now if the 2nd round would have been completed, then you may have seen other teams eventually start offering once 3rd and 4th round started.

I am hoping the Bengals plan is if Dalton shows he is still just average Andy even with a new HC. That next year they go all out to go get a top QB, even if it means giving up a lot of picks to get their guy. There may not be to many teams in the QB market next year at the top of the draft too, especially if Winston and Carr make strides this year for their teams. So the opportunity should be there to get one of the top 4 guys coming out next year in Tua, Herbert, Fromm, and Eason. There might be a chance there could be 5 top QB's next year to choose from depending on how Jalen Hurts does this year. Oklahoma just took two guys in Mayfield and Murray who were more thought of as 3rd or 4th round guys going into their last seasons, and turned them into the top overall picks. Hurts if he shows that same improvement in his passing, he may be a guy who could also sneak his way into top QB conversation.

100% agree with that. If Andy can't get it done and there is someone they believe can take the franchise for the next level it will be time.

The main issue myself and a lot of others had was that they wouldn't have had to trade the whole draft to get a top QB this year. Next year they most likely will have to trade almost the whole draft and some of the year after that to move up to get one of the top guys. A lot of the mock drafts seem to think the Bengals will draft top 5 next year, meaning people think they will be worst than last year. Which I just don't see happening, the Bengals were horrible last year and injured and all that and still won 6 games and didn't even draft in the top 10. I think the Bengals will be better than people think and possibly make the playoffs. However, still no chance to truly compete once in the playoffs due to QB play. Unless Dalton does show it was more Marvin for his poor play in big games, and he steps up and does better.

 

So I believe the Bengals will be drafting anywhere between 15 and 23 next year. Meaning they most likely will have to give up a crap ton to move up to get a top guy, unless they want to take a chance and get lucky like the Redskins did this year a guy falls to them. So that is the biggest reason myself and if you listen to Mo Egger at all are upset. Yeah they could still get a top QB next year, but next year they most likely will have to give up a lot to make it happen. When this year, it really wouldn't have cost them anything.
