We shoulda kept Osemele. Look what he did for the raider run game without a good running back. Hopefully Eluemunor turns into the next enforcer. There's enough young talent to build a top 3 defense. Maybe best in the league. To be a Super Bowl contender we need some young Oline players to step up. We need max to step up and get in shape. Dixon will be great once he returns. Then we have to trade for a legit young WR on his rookie contract.
I really like Marqise Lee. He is an ascending talent. I would easily trade a round2 pick for a really good WR. Marqise can do it all. He reminds me of Torry Holt. If he and Joe get on the same page he would be borderline unstoppable. He is an explosive route runner and naturally disguises his routes The question isn't how long is the window open. It is when it arrives. We are so close to a Super Bowl contender.
With young talent like Timmy, Bowser Young Henry Jefferson Mosley Judon Bronson the defense has young fast talent. I respect Joeyflex's opinion but I do think Bowser will become at least a very good edge rusher. He needs to get a little stronger but he can carry about 265 lbs without speed and athleticism. Only pick I didn't like was Wormley. He was a character coachs choice pick. I woulda preferred Lawson Anzalone or a cornerback. But our young Edge rushers are brewing with potential. Judon Bowser and Williams are all top shelf talents.
If Lewis can excel at RT there are plenty really young thirsty candidates for center. Whomever comes out as leader of the pack is going to be a top8 center at least. Jensen Urschel and Siragusa are better than average. If the bigger stronger 328 athletic Jensen from 2015 shows up he is the center without question. If the shrunken 305lb Jensen shows up then it's an open competition. And Siragusa wants it and has a chance.
Siragusa like the 2015 version of Jensen is unusually strong and physical for a center. Eluemunor and Stanley are going to sinfully dominant on that side when Eluemunor is ready to play. Fans should be looking forward to that one. Only need a good explosive route runner receiver to complete the offense.

i would not give up on jensen as a potential starting center just yet. he has bulked up to 320 with not much fat on him. the key will be can he make the calls at the line
He is returning to his 2015 size then. He has an awesome specimen. Wasn't very lean but very strong and pretty athletic. If he comes in at 325 he is not only the starting center but a top 5 center. If he is 320 and leaner that that would mean he is as big as he was in 2015 when he was 328-330. But a touch leaner. In which case left guard is the open spot if Lewis play RT. I don't think Wesley and Nembot are starters. Which leaves Siragusa and Eluemunor to compete at left guard.
If Jensen has got his size back and plays well he will cost a fortune to resign. In which Siragusa becomes the center eventually. If Jensen dominates and we resign him then Jensen is the center while Eluemunor and Siragusa are the guards once Yanda slows down.
As of now experience is only thing holding back the offensive line. Siragusa needs to experience at center. while Eluemunor needs coaching and experience to catch his technique up with his immense freakish power and athleticism. He only played 12 games of college football. And was never introduced to football til he was like 16. He is a freakish enough specimen that his college coach went out on a limb and promised he wil be a starter in the NFL. Coaches rarely go out on a limb like that!! Went on to say he was such a hard and powerful bull that he could get run over by a truck and get up and go back to the huddle like nothing happened.

At WR i think we'll be fine. I think Perriman will take that next step and i think if campanaro stays healthy he'll be awesome
I think our WRs will be
B.Perriman
M.Wallace
M.Campanaro
C.Matthews
T.Patrick ( this dude has a lot of talent)
TE's
D.Pitta
C.Gillmore
M.Williams
N.Boyle
D.Waller
There is enough talent here. Some good players with a little bit of everything. Sure theres no superstar but there are a lot of guys that can be big mismatches.
The O line though?
awful...
better hope yanda doesnt start to decline either.
[doublepost=1495827926,1495827563][/doublepost]We keep on drafting this raw, late prospects and nothing ever happens with them. I know sledgehammer is high on eluemunor but he is probably the most obvious bust i've ever watched.

The Bengals had a v good draft. I didnt like the J.Ross pick but they did great with the rest.
I actually consider Zay Jones to be the 2nd or 3rd best WR.
You see I'm confident in the Oline but not WRs. I'm not sure what games you saw on Eluemunor but I'm not the only one raving about him. Mayock and Jeremiah are very big on him and very confident he has all the tools. As his college coach is to. He is very similar to Carl Nicks coming out. I didn't like Zay Jones coming out at all. A college game that doesn't morph into an NFL game. I don't like Perrimans routes. I think he becomes an outside big play threat but never a consistent receiver. Campanaro will never avoid injuries and Wallace is 31 and never became a route runner.
