Unbelievable: Bengals QB said choosing Bengals was the biggest mistake he has ever made…..
“After signing right tackle Trent Brown in free agency, the Bengals are cleared to address the defense in Round 1. Teaming Arnold up with DJ Turner, Cam Taylor-Britt and Mike Hilton gives Cincinnati’s secondary a chance to compete with any team in the AFC. Arnold was a five-star safety prospect but made the move to cornerback, where he started for two seasons and collected six interceptions and 21 pass breakups. He also ran a 4.5-second 40-yard dash at 6-foot and 189 pounds, and he is feisty and physical at the line of scrimmage. In short, he has the skill set of a true CB1 and future Pro Bowler.”
“They need to get a long-term answer at right tackle and JC Latham is a perfect fit. He is a big, power player who will give them a nice right tackle even after they signed Trent Brown to a one-year deal.”
“Latham was enormous at the NFL Scouting Combine and moved rather explosively in the on-field drills. He’s the Bengals’ Day 1 starter at right tackle if this is the pick. And the Bengals have a history of selecting blockers in Round 1 who didn’t work out pre-draft.”

“At this point, I think the Bengals are best set up to take the best player available and find a spot for him. That being said, JC Latham is likely an upgrade over the rotation at right tackle and could slot in as an immediate starter.”
