ArmyBengal Posted April 29, 2015 Report Share Posted April 29, 2015 I guess it just depends on what you want to take away from all the talk.I still don't see Shane Ray falling 4 freakin' rounds and if he's there at the Bengals pick in the 3rd, they better jump on him.That being said, he won't be there.If these guys that are taking dings in the first fall, they still don't fall that far.Even if they fall below our #21, they will still push someone down in the 2nd.I was going to put together another mock draft (don't have time) and take a stab at saying the Bengals not only trade down in the first, but back up in the 2nd to grab a player that has been pushed down. Maxx Williams comes to mind in that scenario. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ArmyBengal Posted April 29, 2015 Report Share Posted April 29, 2015 On a side note, I try to take a moment here and there to find out what's going on heading into tomorrow and I have to say how much I hate the new ESPN format. It's quite possibly the worst set up i've seen and not nearly as easy to navigate as it was before. Maybe I just need to get on there and mess around with it some more, but it's so jumbled, I don't even want to bother.Anyway, not much new from what i've seen to this point.

kingwilly Posted April 29, 2015 Report Share Posted April 29, 2015 How difficult is it for these kids to stop smoking weed for a few months...Shane Ray just got busted.Could drop to the 4th now.../>http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2015/04/28/as-shane-rays-stock-plummets-talk-that-he-could-fall-to-round-4/Y'know, if the Bengals get to that 3rd round comp pick and he's still on the board, wtf, go for it. :)/>I'd support this. Ray is a very good end. His turf toe could be more of an issue than the mary jane. You can quit the ML cold turkey, the toe can linger for some time. Funny, but the MJ may be the ideal way to address the injury pain. RX for smoking is coming, mark my word. Helps with the cognitive stuff from concussions, too, or so they say (from a cloud of smoke).however, i doubt he slides to r3... too many teams have the need for his game and will also be able to absorb the risk he presents.

I could see 2 OT and LB position picks instead. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ArmyBengal Posted April 30, 2015 Report Share Posted April 30, 2015 Again, I can see two TE's, but not two WR's.I suppose it's all on who's on the board when they pick and how they rate them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scottishbengal Posted April 30, 2015 Report Share Posted April 30, 2015 2 WR and TE picks seem a little overboard.Yep, I can see, and fully expect, one wide receiver being taken, but with Damarius Moore being added through FA then I think 2 is going a bit too far.Two TE's?? Again I think that's a bit extreme and I still think Gresham has a part to play (one way or the other) about which TE is picked and where Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ArmyBengal Posted April 30, 2015 Report Share Posted April 30, 2015 With Gresham not being a part of the team at the moment or foreseeable future, what do the have at the position ??I like Eifert, but he's coming back from an injury that cost him 2014. Then what ??Nothing.The Bengals still like to run the 2 TE sets and you simply can't do that with the current roster.Heck, adding one TE barely gets you that and even then it's still sketchy.I'm not saying 2 TE's are a certainty, but it shouldn't be surprising either.One early, one later.

He might not offer much as an in-line blocker but he can run and catch. He will be there in r2 and maybe r3.... Could be a creative pcik they get and create wild mismatches... just recall the creative ways Hue used Rex? That tells me Hue has the vision to find ways to get the ball to guys in mismatches... I'd enjoy seeing Funchess in stripes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HoosierCat Posted May 19, 2015 Author Report Share Posted May 19, 2015 I wouldn't sign him but would kick the tires. Our pass rush was horrible last season and while I expect MJ's return will give it a boost, we already know what we have there. And injuries do happen. So it's probably worth the cost of a bus ticket and a dinner to update his file. But the only reason I would bring him in now is if they were looking for camp bodies, and they seem to have all they need at the moment.

I was expecting to hit one like "LOL he'll be a criminal Bungle by the end of the week" in the first couple of comments...but nada. Cowboys, Raiders, Patsies all being held up as teams that would sign him...but not Cincy.Have we finally escaped the shadow of 2006? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ArmyBengal Posted May 26, 2015 Report Share Posted May 26, 2015 Not from what I saw during the work up to the draft, we haven't.Every character risk there was in the draft was slotted to the Bengals at one point or another.The comment given was the typical, "This would be the type of risk the Bengals would take".
