Draft Board

[Wraith]

heres what I have done I have built a draft board consisting of 30 players. I have ranked them 1-30, I have eliminated players who play in a position we wll not (or at least IMHO) select in the first two round (QB, RB, WR, ILB, P, K). I have also eliminated players where there is no chance they will fall to us at 24 (Hawk, Ferguson, Williams, Huff, Hill, Davis). I have ranked these players based upon immediate impact, fit into the system and overall team need at the position. This is all my opinion feel free to disagree.

1. Haloti Ngata, DT, Oregon

2. Broderick Bunkley, DT, Florida State

3. Mathias Kiwanuka, DE, Boston College

4. Chad Greenway, OLB, Iowa

5. Tamba Hali, DE, Penn State

6. Jimmy Williams, CB/S, Va Tech

7. Manny Lawson, DE, NC State

8. Jason Allen, S, Tennessee

9. Antonio Cromartie, CB/S, Florida State

10. Gabe Watson, DT, Michigan

11. Ernie Sims, OLB, Florida State

12. Winston Justice, OT, USC

13. Kamerion Wimbley, DE, Florida State

14. Donte Whitner, S, Ohio State

15. Marcedes Lewis, TE, UCLA

16. Marcus McNeil, OT, Auburn

17. Leonard Pope, TE, Georgia

18. Parys Haralson, DE, Tennessee

19. Max Jean Gillis, OG, Georgia

20. Ashton Youbody, CB, Ohio State

21. Bobby Carpenter, OLB, Ohio State

22. Davin Joseph, OG, Oklahoma

23. Nick Mangold, OC, Ohio State

24. Rocky McIntosh, OLB, Miami (FLA)

25. Richard Marshall, CB, Fresno State

26. Rodrique Wright, DT, Texas

27. Darryl Tapp, DE, Va Tech

28. Joel Klopfenstein, TE, Colorado

29. Dominic Byrd, TE, USC

30. Cedric Griffin, CB, Texas

I chose 30 players because any of these top 30 I would not mind by round 2 the other players are round 3 or better prospects based upon what I perceive as Bengals Need, Scheme, and who works best within Marvin's system. So there it is, fodder...feel free to do your own draft board.

6. Jimmy Williams, CB/S, Va Tech

7. Manny Lawson, DE, NC State

8. Jason Allen, S, Tennessee

9. Antonio Cromartie, CB/S, Florida State

10. Gabe Watson, DT, Michigan

11. Ernie Sims, OLB, Florida State

This is a really cool list. But I would put these 6 higher than Hali or Greenway. I would also put Wimbley and Whitner ahead of Justice. I would move Pope WAY up. I would also move Tapp and Youbouty in the top 15.

Pope is the only offensive player that turn my head. I would consider him or Chad Jackson WR as candidates for the R1.
