I can't believe Earl Everett didn't get drafted! I am literally shocked. Did he kill someone or something? Maybe he got a 0 on the wonderlic test?

They got to get this guy in here...

a couple other guys...

Johnny Harline TE BYU

Jon Abbate LB Wake Forest

Kareem Brown DT Miami Fl.

Shelton Bynum DT NC St.

Darius Walker RB Notre Dame (Not drafted! :o )

Kolby Smith RB Louisville

Drew Tate QB Iowa

A site called The Great Blue North Draft Report does a good job of keeping an up-to-date list of rookie free agent signings. Its GBNreport.com.

from his blog:

Bengals bringing in LB Earl Everett as free agent

The Bengals will populate their offseason roster with around a dozen college free agents, players who were not among the 255 drafted Saturday and Sunday.

A source in Tallahassee, Fla., said tonight that former Florida linebacker Earl Everett is headed to Cincinnati to sign a rookie free agent contract with the Bengals.

Everett was projected at one time to be as high as a third-round pick. He is an inside linebacker who had 85 tackles last season for the Gators, in addition to a sack and six tackles for loss.

NOW can we stop the b*tching about an LB...? :lol:

Well, when you think about it... the Bengals are a good team with a bad defense. That means that an undrafted free agent can choose a team that won't be in teh basement, but he'll also have an opportunity for playing time. That is probably a big reason that some of the better undrafted FA's have desired to come to Cincy the past 2 years.

That said... I'm pretty surprised he wasn't drafted. I was fairly high on him, because he's such a good cover LB. I'm guessing though that I just esteemed him far too highly, or else someone would have grabbed him in a 7 round draft.

Nice. Most people on here (myself included) would've been happy with him in the 5th.

That just goes to show you that everybody on this site has no room to judge a draft pick because no scout in the NFL wanted him at all.

Yeah but what does that say about the people on this board that a lot of people can pimp a guy that the Bengals do go after regardless if it was during or after the draft. If they do get him signed, it means either they were interested in him, or they read these message boards and are doing it just to appease all of us that complained about some of their picks. :P

So who is the Bengals scout on this board? :o

:lol:

Now if they can just sign Darius Walker too!

I'd be in favor of going hard after Newton. He's had injury concerns... but I think he's a step up from anyone on the current roster to play alongside of Kelly. And from what I read... his greatest strength is in the redzone. Peronally, this is where I feel the Bengals could use a TE the most - especially with Henry out for 8 games.
