Mims-#22 overall, 6.42(will be good starter within 2 years)

Jenkins-#50 overall, 6.30(will eventually be a plus starter)

Burton-#95 overall, 6.21(will eventually be average starter)

Jackson-#159 overall, 5.96(average back up or ST'er)

All-#166 overall, 6.14(backup with the potential to develop into a starter)

Newton-#163 overall, 5.99(average backup or ST'er)

Jackson the worst pick by far, but also a big need.

I love the top 4 picks and think they will make our draft great.

I think they missed out in the 5th because there were great options available and they reached on All. If All is good it doesn’t matter though.
Bengals needed an all around tight end that can block and do everything and that’s what All is. We needed a backup for Sample that can develop.

I would have liked to hit oline more and draft a G or C and feel like we missed a great opportunity in the 4th.
