Today's episode brought to you by FanDuel, where you can get one hundred and fifty dollars in bonus vets guaranteed at FanDuel dot com slash locked on where you can get started in James. Today we dive into a couple of home brewed no simulator involved, mock draft Monday scenarios. What would we do if we were Duke Tobin and Mike Brown combined into one Bengals decision maker? We've got two scenarios for you going through
seven rounds? What do you got? How are we starting this thing? Yeah? I think it's pretty clear in our listeners and viewers know what I would do. I pick eighteen. I would will brock Powers into existence. But we also are going to try to be realistic with this, and I just don't think he makes it to eighteen. I think there's going to be too many teams, whether it's a dark horse team, like the Bears, who have been rumored to be interested in Bowers. Now, obviously the Jets
and Colts have been mentioned, the Broncos, the Saints. Who knows one of those teams are going to take brock Powers And we talked about this when we set the draft board. Olufashanu to me, would be the target here. I also think he's going to be gone, So I go back to the drawing board and I think Amarius Mems is going to be there and be available at eighteen, and that's who I would take. And I would take
him for a few reasons. One, I think that he has a chance to be the best tackle in this class, and that's really hard to find it pick eighteen. The risk is there because we haven't seen it, but I'm comfortable with just talking to anyone, whether it was Dane last week, obviously, we've had Joe Goodberry on whoever you want to discuss this topic with. I'm comfortable taking him at eighteen because I think the risk is there.
There's some risk, but I think the reward is much much higher. And there's also a chance that he doesn't hit a ceiling but also doesn't bust and it's just a solid player, which I don't think we've really talked about Amarus Mims in that way, and I think his solid is really darn good. So give me a Marius Mims. I would be happy with him at eighteen, and that's who I would take. And with Trent Brown expected to start
the year right tackle. If Mims comes in and he needs time to cook, he needs time to develop that awareness that only comes with experience what you need reps for, So hopefully you would get them in the preseason. If you were the Bengals first round pick. Then you have Trent Brown who can get you started, who's been around the NFL for a long time, who've
seen everything you can see in the NFL. And then you got a Maru Smims cooking in the background, ready to unleash that freaky frame and ridiculous way to carry three hundred and forty pounds with a ridiculously low body fat percentage and all of that athletic cupside from an expected draft position perspective. Shout out to
BENJ. Robinson who Grinding the Mox is his website where he tracks where players are expected to be drafted based on scraping a ton of mock drafts from around the internet, and Mariusmims is the most likely to be available to the Bengals based on that data as well. Brock Bowers, while we would all like to dream, has maintained throughout the process an expected draft position between you know, nine and eleven for this entire process, maybe dipping down to twelve at
one point. Ol Fashanu, who would also be my first choice I believe at tackle if he were to fall, which he could, because some teams I guess do have some concerns there has an expected draft position at thirteen. Jac Latham, who would also be in consideration for me and I am in locks up with you here for this first round pick James of looking at tackle. Jac Latham expected draft position at sixteen and Mems I think I mentioned earlier
in the early twenties at twenty one point eight twenty two. Roughly he's the most likely to be available. I think that my order of preference is fashion new and then Latham and Mems is still really hard to pick. Latham is a guy that I think you could come in and he could be a solid pass protector for you right away. I thought he was very aware in college of where the different pass rushing threats came from in the passing game. I
thought he was a very smart player. I thought his in play communication was really good. I think he has good bursts out of a set, even though he doesn't have good, you know, forty yard dash type speed. I don't think he's a guy that you want pulling. I don't think he's going to do is good of a job getting to the second level as Mems could. I think Men's is a better mover and open space. But I think both of those players have really refined pass sets, really clean footwork.
I really like Latham's hand usage and I like his hand placement for the most part. The biggest issue but probably most guys coming out, is you're worried about for guys that move slower like Latham, oversetting because he knows he has to get to the spot against wide alignments in the NFL and speed rushers and then getting beat back across his face inside because he can't recover quickly enough to get back inside and redirect those sorts of countermoves. So that's obviously the concern
with Latham. Then Mems, I've just discussed the experienced issue there, So assuming fashion New is gone. If he's not, that's my pick. But if he is gone, then I'm trying to decide Latham memes. I would probably lean upside in Mims as well James, but I think there's a really strong argument there for Latham as well if he's available. And I think fu Wanga, who neither of us have mentioned, is also in the conversation.
But uh, I lean toward the bigger body types here, the longer arms the guys that I know some people are projecting length in the guard, but not as many as think Fuango's best fit in the NFL might be guard. Why does everyone add an end to Fuaga? There's no end. When he said his name in an interview with some NFL network guys, that's where I heard weird. Yeah, so weird, Like even in the Beast, it's Fuaga random because I know Joe's done that too, and I'm like, where
where's the end? So we'll find out. It's like we'll find out, you know, if the Bengals pick him, we will certainly we'll certainly find out. We'll probably find out one way or the other. Anyways, it makes sense. Wait, like taking an offensive tackle here makes sense, But wait, what, We're not going to the second round? Oh okay, to make I goes trading up in his mock, Yeah, the Bengals would,
but I would. I have seen in mox from Dame Brugler, from Lancer Line from mel Kiper and field Yates, Johnny Newton falling to the end of the first round, and I just don't get it. We've talked about Johnny Newton a ton. We've talked about the fact that we don't necessarily expect the Bengals to pick him. Although maybe that top thirty I'm gonna keep calling it that because Zach Taylor did visit that he reportedly took with the Bengals,
maybe that does mean that there's more interest there than we previously assumed. Hard to say, Buss, my preference said defensive tackle. If you're taking one at eighteen, by the way, that's who I would take. I would take Johnny Newton. Just taking that one out there. His expected draft position, and that's fair. His expected draft position is twenty seven, and I've seen him go thirty one into the second round thirty two, and I'm trading
up with Tampa at twenty six. I'm trading a future first in eighty this year to get back into the first round. Tampa is the team I target there. I would do Arizona, but they have too much picks. I think Arizona's more likely to want to trade up than trade back. Maybe somebody else trades into twenty seven and I trade with whoever has a twenty seventh pick.
But I'm going to get Johnny Newton, and I'm going with a tackle tackle offensive defensive combination in the first round and getting bold here James, and I'm keeping my second round pick. I'm keeping one third round pick, and I'm giving up next year's first, which to me is going to be a second because the Bengals are putting themselves in a position to win the Super Bowl. Of course, with my Fantasy Land mock here, I love it.
I love it. I mean, if you can add Johnny Newton and add a stud offensive tackle in Amarius Mims, I mean you could look up in a few years and those two guys be near the top of their positions in the league, and so I get it. I love that you went the future first route, because we've seen that some of our listeners certainly have done that. In their mock. So yeah, this is this is very is some thing I feel like I would do, but I did not do it.
You did it, Jake. Let's go moving up getting Johnny Newton. I have a second round pick, You still have a second round pick. We will get to what we would do in the second round coming up next.

The Bengals have the forty ninth pick, and if you listen to this show, I think you know this pick too. It's pretty predictable for me, and I don't shy away from it. I'm sure you could guess this one. I would be in on Lad McConkie here. I don't think he's going to fall here, and I'll do that throughout our mock. Here of what we would do is name a player or two that I think could be
in the range or that I would consider. But this is Troy Franklin's Troy Franklin's there at forty nine, and Dane Brugler has a second slash third rounder on him in the Beast. I think they one. The Bengals should consider him two. I would take him because he gives them a dynamic threat on the outside that can contribute right away and fits the T Higgins, Jamar Chase,
Mike Gesicki offense. He fits right away and can give them something that these other guys don't necessarily have, and yet you're not banking on him to have ninety catchers as a rookie either. So I think that that fit makes a ton of sense. And so I'm going offense offense here Marius Mims and Troy Franklin. I'm also staying on the offensive side of the ball, but I've had a defensive pick with my second first round pick. I know you
love your wide receivers in the second round. Just to summarize the expected draft positions for Troy Franklin a little bit later forty three compared to Lad mccackey, who is up at thirty four, So there's a chance that both of those guys could be gone. Who's your fallback wide receiver here? Or is there one? Oh? I if Franklin's not here, I might wait on receiver certainly, And I think that Chris Jenkins would be in play. The defensive
tackle out of Michigan would be someone that I would consider here. I think that they would consider a trade down here potentially depending on who there, if the run happens and they don't have a first round grade on the guy at forty nine, because I do think that there's that scenario where they're like, oh, we can get like a low, low first round grade on one of these guys our early second So yeah, we'll see. But in this what we would do, I'm willing it. Troy Franklin is going to be
there, Jake, there you go. They're going to take him. So I am not looking at receiver here. I thought about it, but especially having given up a third ground pick, I thought about it because I thought maybe I could get a receiver in the third round. Maybe I still can with ninety seven, where maybe that's the last opportunity for some guys. But I'm looking interior offensive line here, and I land on Cooper Beebe, who
has an expected draft position of fifty according to BENJ. Robinson's grinding the mox Zach Frasier is the other one that's in consideration here, who I think does have some center guard ability to his game, but an earlier EVP of forty three suggests that he might not make it. I think the defensive tackle also in consideration. Chris Jenkins. You mentioned expected draft position for him at forty five, so while you've seen him in mox go a little bit later,
I think for Chris Jenkins Also he's gone a little bit earlier. Dan Brugler has him gone thirty five to the Chargers. So maybe you can't get the perfect fitted defensive tackle here. Maybe they do really like Ruca Rovero and end up going that route. Maybe they really like a different defensive tackle, Braden Fisk something like that. But I go interior offensive line here for I think
ideally I like Zach Frasier a little bit better. But if you can't get him, I think Cooper BB can step in and has the upside to be a really good guard for you for a really long time. I think he can compete for a starting job this year, and then Alex Kappa is a free agent, and then he's competing certainly next year and probably has a long term starting job. The only downside to BB for me is that he's gonna
be a little bit older coming out of twenty three. But a two time captain with really good data, good enough film, great to justify the pick. To me, I am going heavy in the trenches here early, James, and I'm gonna have to find all my skill players later. Yeah, you are trench heavy, and people are gonna love your mock. They're going to be in love with it and love with it, and I get it.
I do. BB's a really good player. Addressing the interior offensive line is something that I'm going to do spoiler, but it's not at Pickady because Pickadi is. And this is willful too. I think you're gonna think I'm pushing it a little bit. I think Michael Hall Junior has a chance to go in round two. I also think that there is a scenario where the Chris jenkinses go and guys like that ahead of him. Maybe it is Rouke a ro ro row goes ahead of him, and so I'm gonna go with
Michael Hall Junior here. But here's what I would say. If the receiver isn't there round two, I'm probably targeting the Chris Jenkins or the defensive tackle there or taking one. Certainly with this first third round pick, I think that's the windows second third round you want to land one of these guys and then double back later. So I have Michael Hall Junior here falling, and I'm sure he's not consensus there, but I do think that there's a chance
he falls. Typically a precipitous fall for Mike Hall, who if they could get him in the third round. I think is a slam dunk pick. Consensus grade has him ranked at sixty seventh. The EDP the Expected Draft Position board doesn't go beyond the second round, and I didn't check to see where he was there. But Mike Hall in the Dame Brugler mock, just because it's another point of reference, is forty three to the Atlanta Falcons. If you can get him at eighty, sign me up all day. This happens
all the time. Though Micha Oside was projected to be like a top forty pick and then he falls like this happens a lot match And notably, just to mention, I don't have an eightieth pick, so I don't get to talk here, but I'm going to talk anyway. Some some offensive tackles around this pick for Dame Brugler, Roger Rosengarten seventy eight, Blake Fisher four be shocked about that would be a shocker, and the Yale offensive tackle kier On,
whose name I have not yet learned to pronounce eighty five. So some tackles in that range. Some running backs in that range too, if you wanted to go running back, Jalen Right could have gone that way there, But let's get your third round wrapped up. Who do you got at ninety seven? Now it's time to address the interior of the offensive line. I've
addressed the interior of the defensive line. Now I'm gonna go with Tared Tanner Bordolini and I love this kid's game from from Wisconsin, elite athletes twenty one years old and can play. Has the versatility you're looking for, can literally be Let's say you don't want him to start right away and you feel comfortable with the starting interior offensive line, that's fine. He can back up all three spots, Karis, Kappa, and Volsa, so you feel really good.
I think about adding a guy like that at pick ninety seven. I would love it if they were able to, and that's certainly what I would do. Big pasta immediate nickname. Big is not a pasta name, of course, that's somebody from Twitter. Sorry, I don't remember who you are. I'm sure you're a listener and you're upset that I don't remember your name. Right now, I apologize. The youngest of the interior offensive line options
in this range, But while you went late, a mic call. The consensus Rancaus, Tanner, Bordalini won thirty six, so giving up that value back a little bit. I'm just curious where Dane has him. One seventeen, so fourth rounder for Dane, late fourth rounder by consensus. If I can do math one thirty six, that's still fourth round. So you're going a little bit early there, but it's a cop third essentially fourth anyway, respect the getting a guy late, getting a guy early. I'm going opposite
to you where I went offensive line or you went wide receiver. I'm going now wide receiver where you went offensive line. I continue to see Javon Baker available in mock drafts at the end of the third round, and if he is, that is the pick I'm making. I think there's easy wide receiver too upside there. There's a couple of flaws in the profile. Didn't get onto the field at Alabama, has some inconsistency issues, but when he does
put it together, is a playmaker downfield after the catch. The tested athleticism not great, but the GPS data is strong for him. But James, we have an entire Day three to get to here as well. You can react to my pick and we'll get to Day three coming up next. This episode of Lockdown Bengals is sponsored by a game Time where ticket buying is easy

We know the Bengals are striving for perfection this week in the draft, Well, Schultz Jewelers does too, because when it has to be perfect, it has to be Schultz Strowlers. Day three, James, We've got well a lot of Day three picks. I don't know if I'm making all the Day three picks. Well, maybe I figured it out. We'll see if we have seventh rounders here to discuss,
but we do. I do. It's a big part of my draft, big part. Hell yeah, it's a big part. Yeah. No, I'm trading them. I'm going to get my punter. Who do you got in the fourth round? Yeah, that's silly. They should not draft a punter this year, and I would not. Odric Estime is the guy. And this is why I knew I want Bordolini and I want Estime. Neither one is going to be there in round five. You got to take one early. And so whether it's Estima in round four Bordolini in round four,
that's why I took Bordelini early. I think he'll be in higher demand. Estimate has age on his side, size. I think he's gonna fit perfect in this backfield and give them that power back early on. That compliments Zachmos. That compliments Chase Brown. So Odric Estimate out of Notre Dame, sign me up. And if you're a Notre Dame fan, just stay tuned because I got another Notre Dame pick coming. Wow, spoilers tease it. I also land on odjrict estimate here. He is one of the younger guys
that I think you could get in this range consensus rank one ten. Have seen him go after this a number of mock drafts. I think that it is realistic can develop into a souped up Samaj p Ryan, who's a little bit bigger, has good wiggle to his game, has made guys miss at five eleven, two twenty, good density, and he honestly fits what the Bengals like too. And in terms of several of their thresholds, the only one that's slightly off is he didn't run a good forty and that does hurt
him. I think that that's probably why he's available here at this point. But despite the somewhat limited athleticism, I think you've got that athletic upside in Chase Brown, and you've got a good, complimentary back that really fits what you're trying to do in object estimate. Who can develop as a pass rusher I who can be a power back and who still can make guys miss, And that is on tape. So if you can get your customer in the fourth round, and it seems like you can, maybe he just goes earlier.
Maybe people are just too low on some of these running backs. But Jalen Bright gone, Trade Benson gone, Jonathan Brooks gone. Of course, one of the next guys I would look at would be Oddrick Estama. And so I'm in agreement with you here at one p. Fifteen. Four of my first five picks have been offense, but defense wins or the rest of the way for me. And in with pick, I'm taking cam Hart out
of Notre Dame. I think that the Bengals would love to add a trait cy corner like this that has the size, that has all of the checks, all of those boxes, and uh no, I think he's he's played in big games. He's been matched up against Marvin Harrison Junior. And so adding someone like that at this stage sign me up all day long. And I think the Bengals would sign up for it too. And it might be a different corner here, but this is around the range where I'm looking at
corner early day three. I think they're going to be some good corners that fall. And when you get to Day three is when you start to have wider ranges of outcomes for players. Cam Hart for Dame Brigglers in the fourth round, So maybe he's not there in the fifth. Maybe they've got to go for the guy that I'm targeting in the sixth As a spoiler there a little bit. I'm going to go to Corner in the sixth round. Maybe
you would have to take him in the fifth round. But since I didn't have that extra third round pick, James Well, I do think a Day three corner makes sense. I don't really see it in the second round this year. Maybe in the third round. I'm pining for that tight end that I didn't get in the third round, where if you could get Ben Sinnett, if he actually makes it to pick eighty, that's one that I would be targeting. I don't know if I would do it at forty nine.
I would do it maybe in a trade back scenario in the second round, but since I did not get my tight end there, I'm going Jaheem Bell in the fifth where he continues to be available in mock drafts and if you can get him a guy that has a great track record of making guys miss I thought looked more athletic on tape than you know potential earlier round tight end Jatavian Sanders and tested with eighty four zero point five percentile athleticism, So pretty
good there, but productive player. I think you could put him in a somewhat alignment versatile role where he can play some fullback for you as well. He's a little bit smaller, so that is not in his favor, but the ability to make guys miss after the catch is what I'm targeting here. And he's also I believe, one of the younger players that you could get
later. He's twenty three, but a lot of the tight ends you can target later in this draft for twenty four plus and so when you get to day three, you lose on the age a little bit with tight end, but he at least brings the rest of the profile, does Jaheem Bell, who as a tight end brings some exciting run after catch off side, And that's what I'm looking for here for sure, no doubt. If he's there and cam Hart isn't, I would certainly be in the mix and in on
him. And that's a really good pick, and I think that'll be a popular pick. For a lot of Bengals fans this week as they continue to do MOX back to offense. I go, and it's big ten this time, and it's another offensive tackle. I want some depth, and if Cayden Wallace is still there, I'm in on Caiden Wallace and I think he could be there. Dan Brugler has him fourth round. In other MOX, he
goes sixth round, seventh round. I would be really comfortable taking him here with the first sixth round pick, and it's my second to last offensive player that I'm adding. I have one more that I'm going to add, but Caden Wallace. They will obviously have looked at him after all the fashion new tape at Penn State, and I would take him at this range. If he's there at one ninety four, sure, yeah, I can see that. I'm going to the corner here. I do like the double down on
offensive tackle idea. I'm going corner. I'm going to the CFL. I'm going to a non traditional path. In Quantes Stiggers, who actually had a visit with the Bengals. My guy Ben Grant, who covers the Argonauts in Toronto, also a Bengals fan, put me onto Stiggers as a guy who is NFL ready had a non traditional path went straight into the CFL. You know we can handle his game as a professional. He's been playing professional football.
Ben tells me he's been watching me covers the Argonauts. He played for the Argonauts. NFL level movement ability, NFL level ball skills. He's going to need to learn a bit of a different game in the NFL. Obviously, CFL NFL press coverage, receivers moving forward at the line of scrimmage, those things don't really drive in the CFL. So a different skill set a
developmental player, to be sure. But I think with the Bengals having some interest here in Stiggers and good enough athleticism, good enough size, I'm interested in taking that flyer. And I live in Canada, so I'm going for a guy who's played some football up here in What would I do mock? Yeah, I get it. I like it a lot, makes a lot of sense. And I can totally see the Bengals targeting him in this range, taking a flyer on that, like just describing him. I'm like,
Ah, that's that's what they've done. They've done that with the Chris Evans is They've done that with Andre Joseavash where they're taking the stab at that type of guy. Now there's no real comparison because he was playing professional football, but the upside is there. I would say at that stage, and with me with the final three picks, I'm gonna combine all of them because it's
that second sixth rounder and then two sevens. I keep all of the picks, and I keep them because I think I can get valuable players there. And I want a Jalen Cochra out of Holy Cross double down at wide receiver, and so that's who I'm taking with the eighth pick in that last sixth round pick. And then at defensive tackle, James, you've only gotten Michael
Hall junior. What are you going to do? Well, You're gonna get Jawan Briggs from the University of Cincinnati, and then you're gonna double back with that second seventh and say Evan Anderson, welcome to the Cincinnati Bengals. Juwan Briggs, Evan Anderson, Michael Hall Junior. Three defensive tackles, three guys that can help, three guys that I think can help this year. In
Jalen Cocher is the other late rounder. Who is more of a developmental guy, could be back end of the receiver room, and you hope he's Andre josavash right where he can develop, hit the ground running, and it may be ahead of where you project him to be. Yeah. I like those names a lot. I'll throw out some others. Jordan Jefferson from LSU wide range of outcomes for him in day three if he's available in the sixth round. That's a guy that I would target at nose tackle if they want to
go get a puncher. I know you said it's a waste, and I'm inclined to agree. They probably could do this as a priority free agent. But Ryan Recau from BYU, a guy that Dame Brugler has actually mocked to the Bengals as a late round puncher. And Giovanni Manu, the BC tackle who we've talked about on the show, also mocked by Dame Brugler to the Cincinnati Bengals, a guy that I'll mention in the late rounds as well. I'll also throw out Dijon Anthony, the old Miss safety with whom we know
the Bengals had a visit. You mentioned Evan Anderson j Wwhite mclothern from Arkansas. Another player with whom we know the Bengals had to visit. Charles Smith Wade an undersized corner that Mike Renner really liked at the Senior Bowl, a guy that Dame Brugler has going in the seventh round that I'd be interested in as well. And Logan Lee Iowa interior defensive lineman. Another one that in the seventh round I think is more than worth the dart throw. So there's
a number of late round names for you. I don't know which ones you know specifically. I would take combination of those guys perhaps, But there you go. Do you have the full max? You're ready to recap James before we get out of here, I can. I'm ready to go real quick. Marius Mims, Troy Franklin, Michael Hall, Junior Tanner, Bordalini Orodric Estime, cam Hart, Caden Wallace, Jalen Cooker, Jowan Briggs, Evan Anderson, and I think you hit a lot of the boxes with that mock.
I didn't get a tight end, obviously, I would be in on a tight end. Ben Sonet, if he's there at eighty, I would be all in on that jeem Bell is obviously someone on day three that you got that I would target certainly, and then obviously if brock Powers falls, I'm in on him at eighteen. So it's not a hate against tight end, but I'm not going to force it in this year's class, and I don't want the Bengals to do that. There's only a few guys that I
would consider taking it tight end. Yeah, the only other tight end that I think is even worth really mentioning on on day three, well Tip Ryman and Well they've obviously met with Eric All, but Tanner McLaughlin as well is an interesting one. On day three, my mock gets crazy in the first round with that trade future first and eighty for twenty six, and then I go in order Fashnu Latham, Mims, Mims, Latham, one of those tackles is going to be the guy at eighteen. Ideally one falls, otherwise
probably Mims. I'm probably in agreement with you there, Johnny Newton Cooper beebe solidifying the trenches there to start the draft before I switch over to some skill position players. Javon Baker at the back of the back of the third We agree on project estimate in the fourth Jahem Bell if you can get him in the fifth, give me that all day Quantes Stiggers the CFL corner who Ben Grant, my guy describes as a third round talent who's gonna fall because he's
had a non traditional path. And then if you can get a Jordan Jefferson and Giovanni Manu from BC or Evan Anderson or Dwight mcleothern, one of those developmental players, I'm interested in the seventh round sures time me yup and you can let us know who's mock you like more In the comments on Twitter on x yours getting Molton and mems No, I mean that wins it. You get two studs, it should be yours. It obviously would be hard to pull off, but if they can, they would give up the future first
round pick. Though maybe the people really don't like that. I don't know. I think that's the thirty second pick next year if you do that plan though, it's all Johnny Newton. I think they like Johnny Newton. I think that's what they like. Yeah, easy to like Johnny Newton. That's gonna do it.
