With the 60th pick the Bengals select DT Siaki Ika, DT Baylor. 
 

More big people!  

This defense was not good in the 6 games Reader missed last year.  Couldn’t stop a nose bleed.  Lost to the Browns 32-13. 

 

Depth was a concern here - and Reader is going into the last year of his contract - so we are going to solidify the middle of this defense and give us an option if we can’t keep Reader - and not fall off a cliff if he misses any games.  

 

 

The Bengals are the AFC FAVORITE in 2023.  Outside of Joe Mixon’s character, there are zero weaknesses on this team.  

These first 2 rounds absolutely shored up our trenches.  We’ll address secondary depth later in this draft and maybe add another guy this summer.  
 

 

 

The Bears @Doc Brown are on the clock.  

 

Wanted him as a bill!    In this VR world I have to watch him hassle josh!    Bahhhh!!!!

lol

All bills fans have to watch that highlight reel….. 

[Doc Brown]

With the 61st selection, Da Bears select Derick Hall, DE, Auburn

 

Da Bears need young pass rushers on the D-line after losing Khalil Mack and Robert Quinn over the last couple of seasons.  Hall should be a great fit for Eberflus's 4-3 scheme as he has ideal length, power, and athleticism to get to the quarterback.  If developed correctly he could be a steal this late in the 2nd round.

 

The Eagles @Logicare on the clock.

By the way, if we got Mingo in the second round, I wouldn’t hate it

[Logic]

With the 62nd pick in the 2023 NFL Draft, the Philadelphia Eagles select Keeanu Benton, DT, Wisconsin

With an aging DT group and Fletcher Cox on a one-year deal, the Eagles saw the opportunity to add youth, size and strength to the rotation in the form of the stout and experienced Keeanu Benton.

We feel we have significantly upgraded both out defense and our offense with our first three picks.

Pick 10: CB Devon Witherspoon
Pick 30: HB Jahmyr Gibbs

Pick 62: DT Keeanu Benton

@HappyDays and the Kansas City Chiefs are now on the clock.

 

[HappyDays]

With the 63rd pick, the Kansas City Chiefs select Isaiah Foskey, EDGE, Notre Dame.

 

We drafted George Karlaftis in the 1st round last year, but with Frank Clark no longer on the team edge rusher is arguably our weakest position group. Foskey has a lot of upside and no one else is sticking out on the board for us.

 

@Virgil that finishes it.

[NeverOutNick]

Thanks for setting this up again @Virgil

 

I actually really love the way the bills started the draft and now they can go after a good tight end prospect, some defensive line help and a linebacker but I’m sure linebacker would be someone like Zach Cunningham in free agency on a one year prove it deal after the draft

Just gotta say I think Mingo is a third rounder.   I think it’s a reach for a medium need position.  😎

I get it but I’m sticking to my guns that Mingo and Wilson have the highest potential after my top five wide receivers so I’m happy gambling on them in the second round

[No_Matter_What]

My conclusion from both TSW mock drafts is that we need to have some luck in the first round that one of few guys we might be interested in falls and then we have to trade up in the second (using fourth) for the OL/LB/WR we want.

That’s ok, you think Michael Wilson is a 2nd rounder. 😉 

 

As a potential draft selection, I think it’s very strange he has yet to disclose the injury he suffered vs ND that ended his season.  Maybe he disclosed it to teams that asked about it at the combine?  I don’t think I’d draft him in rd 3 if I didn’t know.  That’s just weird imo.  If it’s no big deal it should be known. Keeping it a mystery makes me think it’s a problem.

If he clears medical then it’s no biggie obviously he can play now that he’s healthy so it doesn’t bother me. I mean JSN missed almost the entire season with a hamstring injury and he’s going in the first

Thanks everyone for moving this one along so fast.  
 

I may need some help for 3.0.   If going to open the sign up thread tomorrow and start it up when we have our owners.  
 

However, I have acl surgery Monday and I’m not sure how quick I’ll be back online. For that day, I might need everyone to be self sufficient and help move things along.  I can’t share the thread ownership for updates, so you’ll have to pay attention in thread that day.

Good luck with your surgery bud!  Hope it goes well, sending good thoughts and best wishes your way.  

[stinky finger]

Good luck, Virgil. Take care of yourself.

 
best of luck!

[BigdaddyinOrlando]

Good luck Virgil!! Thanks for everything 

[NeverOutNick]

Keeping you in my prayers, brother!

How dare you? This is an outrage. We are talking about the NFL draft and you are prioritising a knee? Why? You have another one!

but why not divulge what the injury was?  It’s just strange to me.  We rarely see that happen and I think one has to wonder.  He suffered a Jones fracture - had surgery, extensive rehab and was cleared.   2 days after being cleared, he re-Injured it, had another surgery and extensive rehab. Then, the following year, he was injured and missed the season on an undisclosed injury.  Another Jones fracture?  Same foot?   Who knows?  No one 

 

Cleared or not cleared, that worries me.  I wouldn’t consider him in rd 2.  The only thing I love about his game is his run blocking.  I think he could be a WR2 if he stays healthy.  Big IF though and not with the risk imo.  
 

JSNs injuries worry me as well…. But we know what his injuries are.  Ankle and hamstring. He’s a much better route runner and has better hands than Wilson imo.  

[Might Rather]

Thanks for doing this @Virgil they were both fun to do and maybe give us an idea of who's available when the Bills pick
