Bengals Beat Podcast: Draft Spectacular

The third annual NFL Draft Spectacular Podcast arrives as I'm joined by three draft gurus to talk Bengals-specific draft analysis and break down the questions being asked inside Paul Brown Stadium right now. 

First off is Dane Brugler, of CBS Sports and NFL Draft Scout, who put out the draft guide to end all draft guides. His scouting book looks at 450 prospects with every piece of information and breakdown imaginable. If you want to know more about players in this draft and their strengths, weaknesses. 

Second comes Sam Monson of Pro Football Focus. Their team moved from the pro analytics game and added college assessment the last couple years as they grade and compile information on every player from major college football. Hard to find a deeper dive into the tape and analytics than this.

Finally, we bring in Doug Farrar of Sports Illustrated. He's currently counting down his top 50 draft prospects with scouting profiles on all of them. We jump into the concept of drafting Jaylon Smith out of Notre Dame and the interesting ranking of a few Bengals targets in his top 50.
