If they draft Ryan Hamby I'm driving to Cincinnati with a knife in my teeth. I HATE RYAN HAMBY. He's slow, he doesn't catch well, he's not a good blocker, and his shenanigans directly contributed to OSU's two losses (not blocking Hali leading to Smith's fumble & the drop vs. Texas).

I'm actually happy with the pick.

We only have so much cap room we can't hand out $7million a year to 3 guys at the same time.

I was expecting it to a LG to replace stienbach, but it looks like stienbach and Levi will be back. Willie will be let go, and that happens when your decline a 3 year $18million dollar extension.

agreed, except for the last part. Whitworth sounds guard-like, which raises the possibility of replacing Steinbach (or Levi if Steinbach shifts to LT).

Bengals still get to play who signs our deal.

Giving up on 06, I dont think so. The Bengals had the number 6 offense in the NFL last year with very little production from the TE position. I don't think that will change very much.

Give the draft a chance to play out, it's only 2 picks. Marvin has stuck gold in the 2nd round the last two years, I have confidence that he will do it again.

Pin this one on Willie. If he'd gone for the extenson this is another pick. Hey, thanks, Big Mouth, and don't let the door hit you in a$$ on the way out...

(Trade Willie now.)

Willie won't be traded. They'll let him play out his last season for below market wages while Whitworth learns the ropes.

It's not a bad pick...just a result that nobody wanted to see.

I can't say I'm happy with the pick but you put your finger on the motivation. Since his first days here Marvin Lewis has talked about shifiting money from the O to the D. He tried to do it with Chris Perry but injury sank that plan. Now he's trying to do it with Whitworth. He costs a few million over 5 years, while Willie will cost millions per year.

I do know they are very high on Hamby. (He is a Moeller boy, show some love)He will most likely be our late 7th round choice or a CFA pick up

on NFL.com Whitworths grade was a 5.5 on a scale of 1.0 to 7.0(best). So he is rated pretty average...but we should of went after Ko
