TJJackson Posted January 8, 2008 Report Posted January 8, 2008 Great Blue North came out with a 2007 season-end rookie reporthttp://www.gbnreport.com/rookiegrades.htmlWe came out well1) Chinny was named top rookie drafted in the 7th round, and an honorable mention under the top 10 defensive rookies2) TE Daniel Coats was in the top ten undrafted rookies3) Leon Hall was named as one of the top ten defensive rookies4) Our overall rookie class was rated B+ Quote
HairOnFire Posted January 8, 2008 Report Posted January 8, 2008 A closer look.... Leon Hall not only ranked in the top ten....at #7, but five of the players ranked higher than him were off the board when the Bengals drafted. Daniel Coats was the 5th highest ranked UDFA. Ndukwe was not only ranked as the best 7th round pick, but in the top ten defensive rookie rankings he was on of 8 players to recieve an honorable mention. Of those seven players, five were 1st round draft picks. The remaining two were 2nd rounders. Only seven teams were given draft grades higher than the Bengals, and none of the higher ranked teams lost a high draft pick to injury. Obviously the Bengals would have fared even better had they not lost their 2nd round pick in preseason. Just saying.... Quote
HoosierCat Posted January 8, 2008 Report Posted January 8, 2008 Yeah, and this is the same guy who gave the Bengals 2002 draft just one letter grade lower, praising the picks of Thompson, Manuel and Schobel while knocking the Levi selection for value reasons.http://www.gbnreport.com/draftgrades02.htmFirst-year draft grades are almost as useless as those you see in the days immediately after the draft.Just sayin...

HairOnFire Posted January 8, 2008 Report Posted January 8, 2008 First-year draft grades are almost as useless as those you see in the days immediately after the draft. Especially if those grades are high enough to call into question one of your most cherished rants, right? Just saying.... Quote
HoosierCat Posted January 9, 2008 Report Posted January 9, 2008 Especially if those grades are high enough to call into question one of your most cherished rants, right?Obviously you missed 2004.Just sayin... Quote
BengalszoneBilly Posted January 9, 2008 Report Posted January 9, 2008 Wait a sec.....Hair has all positive things to say, and Joisy has all negative things to say........Is this opposites day? I musta missed the announcement.That you did. Later Hair will make a post defaming Mike Brown and Hoosier will counter that in his defense. Quote
DC_Bengals_Fan Posted January 9, 2008 Report Posted January 9, 2008 Wait a sec.....Hair has all positive things to say, and Joisy has all negative things to say........Is this opposites day? I musta missed the announcement.Ah, but since the topic is implicitly the ability of the Brown clan to perform personnel evaluation, the current sides are par for the course. Quote
HairOnFire Posted January 9, 2008 Report Posted January 9, 2008 Hair, shaking head from side to side... "Well kids, I don't want to get off on a rant here, but what makes Mike Brown qualified to run an NFL team? Seriously, Mike Brown's career peaked as a sperm. In fact, he's been slipping and sliding down the slippery slope from the morning he penetrated the egg. Yeah baby." Quote

HairOnFire Posted January 10, 2008 Report Posted January 10, 2008 Yup. You could even go so far as to say I've got mad skills. Pun Intended? Quote
