If they are willing to take Chase, why not Pitts?

Who you referring to as ‘they’

Dolphins or Falcons?

Bengals send Zac Taylor to Florida pro day highlighted by Kyle Pitts

Kyle Pitts is one of those interesting possibilities for the Cincinnati Bengals in the first round of the NFL draft this year. Pitts, viewed as one of the best tight ends to enter the draft in years, will work out at Florida's pro day on Wednesday -- and the Bengals made…

It’s a typical Bengals move. To pass up a Chase when all you have is Tee Higgins...Gimme a break. That’s why the Bengals are drafting Top 5 every year in the draft instead of battling for the Super Bowl like other clubs.

Pitts would be a great pick to pair with Burrow.

Either or. He needs a top shelf target.

We're going to take Horn, might as well come to grips with it now.

We're going to take Horn, might as well come to grips with it now.

And we are going to do it with Surtain there for the picking

It’s coming. I’ve accepted it.

It’s fucking bullshit that he’s the 10th most impactful player, but I’ve accepted we’ll draft him.

 

[Smitty]

Trade away your first for a second and then a first in ‘22, then use that to draft Sam Howell.

Eh. I have a feeling Surtain goes before our pick anyways. Hard to imagine any draft going 9 picks without a defender going.

Why not a QB?

Why not a QB?

That would shake things up.

At this point I hope you're right just to make it easier to justify.

I think Horn will be a good player but I can't shake the feeling that if we take him it's because McCarthy and Quinn have personal ties. He's a legit top 20 guy but taking him over Surtain feels like a reach.

I could be wrong, every major draft pundit has him around 12-15, but we'll see.

At the very least I like him more than Henderson and Terrell last year and he'll definitely bring some swag/dog to the secondary.

Nightmare scenario, Surtain goes before 10, leaving only Horn. Saints offer us a bucket of picks to move to 10 to grab Horn, but we stay put and grab him instead.

 

[Cotton]

It just doesn't seem like it's draft day already. 2020 was such a blur it almost seems like it didn't happen, making it seem even more surreal it's already draft time again.

If we end up taking Horn over Surtain, I won't like it, but won't throw a fit over it. The last week or so, I've been reading where some people have him ranked higher. By people that have a lot more inside info and experience than I do. Both guys are great corners that will help this defense from day 1.
