Paul and Jay take a deeper than deep dive, submarine-esque, I suppose, into Cincinnati's draft tactics ahead of D-Day on April 29th. The guys kick off the first installment of the draft strategy series by zeroing in on the club's offensive line talent, skill, and resource needs. As discussed ad nauseam for months, is Penei Sewell the right guy at No. 5, considering he's available? PDJ and JM talk with The Athletic's Oregon beat writer Tyson Alger to understand Sewell's background and drive. Plus, Jay speaks with Sewell, himself, about which position along the line he's most comfortable playing. Also, Sewell describes his playing style. Is there a chance the Stripes double-dip at o-line in this draft? Could they imitate what Indianapolis did a couple of years ago, drafting a lineman in the first two rounds? Paul then sits down with Bengals' scouting director Steven Radicevic to dig into team needs, particularly along the front five, entering the draft.

Rundown:

(5:00) Strategy, o-line metrics

(14:30) Sewell on playing style, fit

(18:00) Tyson Alger on Sewell
