EdwardG Posted April 24, 2004 Report Posted April 24, 2004 He's a safety out of Maryland. Nothing like using our two second round picks on guys who would have been there in the third round. Quote
volcom69 Posted April 24, 2004 Report Posted April 24, 2004 yea really i liked sean jones better and hes still there or darnell docket but whatever this guy is best in coverage they say Quote
rocket Posted April 25, 2004 Report Posted April 25, 2004 williams is a 3rd fsratliff is a 4rd cbperry is a 2rd rbwhat the hell is going on? Quote
WHO DEY AGAIN? Posted April 25, 2004 Report Posted April 25, 2004 I'm miffed by the Williams pick but the first 2 are solid. Ratliff has been under rated and will do well. Perry or Jones are good picks and was a coin toss. Williams would have been there after our next pick. We should have gone DT there! Hoping for better luck next pick. :player: Quote
HoosierCat Posted April 25, 2004 Report Posted April 25, 2004 Actually, Williams is the first pick today I like. The guy is ridiculously under-rated; I wouldn't have been surprised to see him go sometime in the bottom of the first. He might even chase Beckett out of a job by the start of the season.Ratliff was a bizarre reach. The guy's a project. If they wanted a project at CB they should have taken Gamble in the first.Perry...well, all I can say is that I'm not surprised. I figured they'd go RB sooner than expected, tho I didn't expect it to be this soon. And I understand why they passed on Jackson; they aren't looking to make Rudi a lame duck, just to get a change-of-pace guy. But I still would have gone with Gamble here and aimed for someone like Greg Jones in the second. Quote
San Antonio Bengal Posted April 25, 2004 Report Posted April 25, 2004 I could go either way on this pick. There are things that I like and things that I don't, so I'm going to take a pass on whether this was a good pick or a bad one. I'll have to see how the rest of the picks pan out before making any real decision about the quality of this one. Quote
skyline Posted April 25, 2004 Report Posted April 25, 2004 hobson expects him to start, it seems... Quote
Kirkendall Posted April 25, 2004 Report Posted April 25, 2004 Perry...well, all I can say is that I'm not surprised. I figured they'd go RB sooner than expected, tho I didn't expect it to be this soon. And I understand why they passed on Jackson; they aren't looking to make Rudi a lame duck, just to get a change-of-pace guy. But I still would have gone with Gamble here and aimed for someone like Greg Jones in the second. Watching Perry multiple times, being in the best conference in college football, I think he's the best back in the draft. Of course I'm biased, so you guys can take it as much, but the guy is a warrior and very tough. My question is, do the Bengals find that little of confidence in Rudi and why? Quote
HoosierCat Posted April 25, 2004 Report Posted April 25, 2004 My question is, do the Bengals find that little of confidence in Rudi and why? Two words: Carson Palmer. Back during the season when CD was doing his "trade me to Dallas" act I said that ML wouldn't be in any hurry to ditch the guy because he needs a running game. You don't want to break in a new CB and RB at the same time, it's football suicide. Rudi gave them some cushion, Perry stuffs that mattress. Look for Perry to back up Rudi so they can keep him (Rudi) fresh for late in the game, when his bulldozer style is most effective.And if Rudi proves to be a flash in the pan, Perry will get his shot.

skyline Posted April 25, 2004 Report Posted April 25, 2004 kerry will help out greatly with his pass-catching abilities. put him in on 2nd or 3rd down and bring another weapon to the table. Quote
chrishcovga Posted April 25, 2004 Report Posted April 25, 2004 Big reach here for Williams, grabbing him at # 56 over Sean Jones is gonna come back to hurt us.. Especially since Jones went to Cleveland..- He's a 3rd rounder at best, and looks like we drafted guys off of Mike Brown's board.. complete d- so far. Quote
HoosierCat Posted April 25, 2004 Report Posted April 25, 2004 Oh, chill...http://www.thehuddlereport.com/2004DRAFT/p...ieuWilliams.htm Quote
jditty47 Posted April 25, 2004 Report Posted April 25, 2004 or go to nfl.com for all of them, no real weaknesses besides size on any player. Quote
chrishcovga Posted April 25, 2004 Report Posted April 25, 2004 Like I care about what Drew Boylhart says..?? - Maybe if you quoted me Matt Mayock, or Gil Brandt.. yeah, but come on.. two 3rd rounders in the second round.. Quote
HoosierCat Posted April 25, 2004 Report Posted April 25, 2004 Like I care about what Drew Boylhart says..?? - Maybe if you quoted me Matt Mayock, or Gil Brandt.. ...and I should care what chrishcovga says...? Maybe if you were Matt Mayock, or Gil Brandt... Funny, but I'm oddly OK with day 1. Maybe it's the Barcardi & Cokes, but I had a feeling that this was going to be an acrimonious draft. And heck, even Kiper was positive about our final pick and our whole draft so far. And we have close to 10% of the picks in the next round...Bring on day 2! :player: Quote
chrishcovga Posted April 25, 2004 Report Posted April 25, 2004 yes, it is the Bacardi kicking in then. Quote
