bengalsfan1815 Posted March 23, 2007 Report Share Posted March 23, 2007 Would you mind if the Bengals drafted a WR in the first round?Hear me out - with Chris Henry possibly facing a lengthy suspension - I can envision the Bengals taking a top receiver at pick 18. Ginn should be there, so shoud Meachem and Jarrett. Not only would Carson have another weapon, but say they take Ginn? Can you imagine the impact, on punt returns alone. Ginn or Ratliff, who would you rather have fielding punts.I just dont see the Bengals being able to get an impact defensive player at pick 18. This is put up or shut up time for Marvin. Build on your strengths - the offense, and let the young playmakers come around on defense. At times, the defense looked great last year. (at KC, Car, at CLE, BAL) Besides, the Bengals can still get a decent corner or safey in Round 2.I for one would be estatic to see any of the top WR picked in round one.

Kazkal Posted March 23, 2007 Report Share Posted March 23, 2007 Yes I would mind,when your 1# and 2# are Chad and TJ you don't need a freaking 1st rnd WR...We have projects in Tab,Brazzell and holt and can always take another day 2 WR but we do not need a freaking day 1.

Not gonna happen.You know how you win games, field position and explosivenes. Ted Ginn, and Ted Ginn. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kazkal Posted March 23, 2007 Report Share Posted March 23, 2007 A punt returner is fine but day 2,lay off the buckeye juice about taking tedd ginn because it's not going to happen.Hell take Revis you get a Nickel CB a future starter and a punt returner all in 1 pick.

bengalsfan1815 Posted March 23, 2007 Author Report Share Posted March 23, 2007 Revis wont be there. He ran a 4.38 at his pro day. Are you telling me that you would be upset if the Bengals took Ginn? I dont think any Bengals fan wouldnt be absolutly thrilled with the explosiveness Ginn would bring to our offense. Id rather have that then an overrated CB (ie Houston, Hughes, Mcauley) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Build on your strengths - the offense.... To answer your question, yeah, I'd be pissed if the Bengals draft a wideout in Round 1....largely because I don't agree that they won't be able to find an impact defensive player at #18. I've said it before and I'll say it again. We Bengal fans are the bastard sons of Paul Brown. Most of us care only about throwing the football around the yard and scoring points by the buttload.

Kazkal Posted March 23, 2007 Report Share Posted March 23, 2007 . Are you telling me that you would be upset if the Bengals took Ginn?Yes I would be upset but I'm not a buckeye homer so it's easy,fudge atleast take johnnie lee higgins round 2 (which I would be agaist too just not as much as a WR in the 1st.)Revis wont be there. He ran a 4.38 at his pro dayWill see. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DuffMan Posted March 23, 2007 Report Share Posted March 23, 2007 Think about it, Ginn can play WR, KR, PR, he was recruited as a CB and played QB in HS at times. Obviously he is more valuable to us than any form defensive stater or quality backup. Plus we can draft Antonio Pittman in the 2nd and then trade Rudi, C. Perry, Carson Palmer and the rest of our draft this year to Greenbay for AJ Hawk. Then we sign Craig Krenzel and Joe Germaine, giving us the most underrated 1-2 punch (plus Ginn in the shotgun) at QB in the league.I bet Maurice Clarrett has lost weight by now too. That would be a quality pickup. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stripes Posted March 24, 2007 Report Share Posted March 24, 2007 Would I object to taking a WR in the first round? Definitely.Do I expect impact defenders to be available at #18? Certainly.Do I think Ted Ginn is by far the worst 1st round prospect at WR? Yup.Go Buckeyes? Sometimes it pains me to say yes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
derekshank Posted March 24, 2007 Report Share Posted March 24, 2007 Big Buckeye fan here... so I've got no negative bias regarding the following statement. Ginn will be a bust. All he does is run really fast in a straight line. It doesn't fly in the NFL. He's the next Raghib Ismail. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The comparison I keep seeing when I look at him is Dante Hall. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ArmyBengal Posted March 25, 2007 Report Share Posted March 25, 2007 A WR receiver in the 1st ?? F*CKING RETARDED !!! No need for this whatsoever. Don't worry about Henry, he'll be there sooner or later and we also have Tab coming back (HELL YEAH !!!) and the loss of Washington pleases me very much !!! DEFENSE DEFENSE DEFENSE !!! I would bet a million dollars (if I had it) that we would not think about drafting a WR in the first and if there was an impact WR that someone would covet that much, we would trade down as opposed to drafting him... NOT A CHANCE IN HELL !!!WHODEY !!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BengalszoneBilly Posted March 25, 2007 Report Share Posted March 25, 2007 How about a WR in round 1My top 10 responces to that:#1: Hell no.#2: F**k no.#3: Hell f**cking no.#4: Are you NUTS!?!#5: Have you forgotten about the Bengals REAL defensive needs already!?!#6: You must have loved the wasted 1st round draft pick of Chris "Porcelain" Perry in 2004.#7: Wide receiver? Why stop there? Let's go for a QB and really blow the show!#8: The "Best Player Available" scheme isn't all it's cracked up to be.#9: Mike Brown might be pissed if you take over his job of mucking up a draft.#10: Only if we trade down to do it.

bengalsfan1815 Posted March 25, 2007 Author Report Share Posted March 25, 2007 Wow. Such hostility on these boards. Sorry I even brought up the WR question. All I know is I want the Bengals to go deep into the playoffs, hell win the superbowl. Last year was painful to say the least. Lets all just hope and pray Revis, Hall, Okoye, or dare I say LANDRY (pipe dream) falls to us. I just dont want the Bengals to reach for someone or even trade down. We need some one to make an impact. (Thats why I even mentioned Ginn) Hell, maybe the impact we need the Bengals already have (hes on the suspended list) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BengalszoneBilly Posted March 25, 2007 Report Share Posted March 25, 2007 Wow. Such hostility on these boards.Nah...it's more just being incredulous at that even being considered, but hey.. to each his own. Now honestly, in your humble opinion, is WR even in our top 5 needs?

Kazkal Posted March 25, 2007 Report Share Posted March 25, 2007 I'd mybe be okay with calvin but then it's like why did his ass fall For not being being able get a impact defensive player? Jjoe isen't a impact player? Odell wasen't a impact player his rookie year?Demeco Ryans for the texans? you can get impact players outside of the top 10.

bengalsfan1815 Posted March 25, 2007 Author Report Share Posted March 25, 2007 With fear of being attacked at my home, here is my wish list for the bengals draft with a smiley to what my reaction will be if his name is called (no WR i promise)1. Laron Landry (no chance hes there) 2. Patrick Willis (now with a 4.38 for a frickin LB no way hes around) 3. Amobi Okoye (prob wont be there) 4. Darelle Revis (maybe hes there) 5. Leon Hall (same as above, high character guy 4 yr starter) 6. Reggie Nelson 7. Michael Griffin (a tackling machine at UT) 8. Aaron Ross 9. Brandon Meriweather (too many character concerns for bengals) 10. Paul Po (i guess, wanted to have 10 up here) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WhoDeyForever Posted March 26, 2007 Report Share Posted March 26, 2007 Only if we were to take Ted Ginn if he was there..We could use him as a returner and possibly turn him into a cornerback.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kazkal Posted March 26, 2007 Report Share Posted March 26, 2007 Only if we were to take Ted Ginn if he was there..We could use him as a returner and possibly turn him into a cornerback..He'd be perfect bengal pick this year if buckeyes diden't ruin him and move him too WR....but would be to far behind to play CB.

Dawg BpG Posted March 30, 2007 Report Share Posted March 30, 2007 Oh please, please take another WR in the first round. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tasher Posted March 31, 2007 Report Share Posted March 31, 2007 uh, can anyone say Marques Colston? TJ Houshmandzadeh? Strikes me that those guys were 7th round picks...But honestly? We have some pretty specific needs on this football team for improvement and depth. Those needs lie on the defensive side of the ball, so lets get (maybe just a little) real here.Depending upon the best player available it will be (not necessarily in this order) DE,CB,S,LB,DT methinks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
djaxFTW Posted March 31, 2007 Report Share Posted March 31, 2007 ginn wants to play some cb so a pr kr, wr and a nickel cb if the coachs allowed it. ill grin ear to ear for ginn @ 18 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stripes Posted March 31, 2007 Report Share Posted March 31, 2007 I think Ginn would suck as an NFL corner, and I'd certainly hate to see the Bengals risk a first round pick on a guy for that purpose when he hasn't even played there since high school.
