"raise the grade by 2 draft rounds on any player whose wife/fiancee/SO can play Bridge. The wife is short a player for her Wednesday night bridge social. Make it happen, peons"

Hobson is a moron

Would rather they trade some of the lower picks to get a single r3 or r4 pick if at all possible. Need quality over quantity right now, but the following assumes we keep all 11 picks (UGH!) 1) ORT pass blocking priority 2) OC pass blocking priority 3a) Coverage/speed LB 3b) Pass rushing DE 4) Power RB 5a) CB 5b) OC 5c) K 7a) QB 7b) LB with ST skills 7c) Long snapper prefer TE or LB type or, if we can trade a 5 plus a 7 for a 4 1) ORT pass blocking priority 2) OC pass blocking priority 3a) Coverage/speed LB 3b) Pass rushing DE 4a) Power RB 4b) CB 5a) OC 5b) K 7a) QB 7b) Long snapper, prefer one who can legitimately play LB

two edits 1) change the pick for a CB to a coverage S 2) switch the spots for taking a power RB and a QB. Need to take the QB just a bit earlier.

Uhh, Mikey boy? my gramma is dead. I think I've mentioned that a few (dozen) times :-) Mike: "so this extra international player we get to keep - we'll draft him in the first round so we get the best one" *old man cackle followed by old man coughing spasm* "and no one will expect that, by gum! We'll show those other owners who's the boss round here!"

the networks and etc arent alone in their assessment

Amphar: I dont think it is possible for me to disagree with you more. Its almost like you are trolling us......

I disagree - I think there are 2-3 ORTs worthy of the pick at 21

I dont want an OG as I believe we have OG covered with players already on the roster. When Westerman and Redmond (finally) were inserted at OG late last season, our OL was far better. As such, I'd rather try to get a starter at OC or ORT with the pick at 21. Even if there is an OG there who grades out higher. Don't get me wrong - I know a top notch OG can help us as well. What I am instead saying I that I believe a top notch ORT or OC can help us MORE, because our weakness at those two spots is far greater than any issues we have at OG I'd be OK if the pick at 21 was used on an OC, an OT, or a coverage/speed LB. All are positions of extreme need. BPA be damned, we need some starters at these spots If we take a RB, WR, CB, or TE at 21, I will be needing a new TV and possibly some repair work done on my home. I wont be happy if it is a S, DL, or a QB but I wont be taking out my fury on innocent household furnishings if thats the case.

I think this is the right time to say it GIMME A LINEMAN (but not an OG)

Uhm, Dad? Pete's dead. He's not workin' on any deals......

Mem +1 yet again Gimme the ORT at 21 because I think a Center or three will be there in r2, whereas I dont think our ORT will be

What Mem said, +1

I guess we need to see what the new OL coach can do with Oogie. That said, if I had any money to bet - and I dont - I'd put it all on him being listed at the start of the season as a second or third string backup at both OT spots and at the end of the year he will be told dont let the door hit ya where the good lord split ya. I remain a bit more optimistic in regards to Fisher but this is definitely the prove it or get out year as far as I am concerned

I've mentioned various things on my wishlist for this team already - departures of Oogie, Jeffro, and the man who has never had an Offensive lineman fail - but I want to emphasize everything I want at this point is all about 2018 2017 is a lost cause. It is (or should be considered to be) a lengthy 2018 preseason, 8 games to help get experience and seasonign for players who will be starters next year, not this year. With that in mind, this fella aint gonna be helpin anyone soon but he did land the starting OLT job in Detroit and starting OLTs dont grow on trees http://www.espn.com/nfl/story/_/id/21363481/detroit-lions-waive-left-tackle-greg-robinson So let's sign this guy, put him on IR, and let him complete for the starting OLT spot in 2018. Yes, he's been oft-injured, so yes, he's a risk. But at this point, we need to take some risks. A lot of them. Especially with a starting caliber player at a position of extreme need who has plenty of years left (drafted in 2014) And yes, I was not and still am not a fan of the pick, but Ross needs to see the field, ready or not. Nothing develops a player like live game snaps.

Thing is, RBB, Reid has already publicly said he wont be doing that again this year

that sux.

Eric Reid http://www.nfl.com/news/story/0ap3000000925610/article/former-49ers-safety-eric-reid-slated-to-visit-bengals I am all in on getting this guy signed to multi-year contract as long as they can determine with high certainty that he will not create divisiveness within the team. Other than the "team cancer" possibility, whats not to like? Young pro bowl caliber player at the peak of his career who at this point in free agency should come cheap. Yes, Yes, Yes, and Yes Please.

Now that Dave Shula is not serving *anyone* (including Gary Reasons) at the Steakhouse, and is instead making WRs worse at Dartmouth, will Bengalszone management staff require Kid Steakhouse to change his moniker? This burning question deserves deep and lengthy contemplation from all of you. Take a PTO day if you have to. Don't disappoint us.

"Pumpkin, can you call Akili and see if he'll give some of that money back?"

ok, but what does that have to do with Steakhouse's no longer proper moniker?

the doors to such an eatery would be turnstiles with little or no resistance to the pass rush getting to the quarterback customer entering

Nice first post, Yang, and welcome to BZ I am hoping that they dont take a single OG even in the late rounds, myself, as I think we have at least 4 veterans already in place who can capably man the two OG spots

as with last year, a lot depends on the OL. I am glad Jeffro is gone, but I am not confident that Glenn will be healthy or that they will find an answer at ORT

his pay for play ratio is waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay off regardless of the round he was picked can you say "akili"
