The forum can get into trouble if it post paying member only material from other sites. FYI. On the other hand he could paraphrase it better for us.

[HoosierCat]

Per SNs Bengals team page, they have Ellis falling to us in round 1 and then Derrick Harvey in the second. Both seem rather unlikely to me.

MOCK DRAFT: ROUND 1

PICK TEAM PLAYER POS SCHOOL

1 (1) Dolphins Updated Chris Long DE Va.

The Dolphins desperately want to trade down so they can stockpile prospects, but if they cannot, they will take the draft's most polished player. Long is a perfect fit for the traditional Bill Parcells 3-4.

2 (2) Rams Updated Ryan Clady* T Boise St.

The Rams also want Chris Long, but if he is gone, they will hope to trade down, still get an offensive tackle later and get an extra pick. However, that's probably too bold of a move for their front office, so Clady would be the pick here.

3 (3) Falcons Updated Darren McFadden* RB Arkansas

The Falcons won Friday's coin flip for the No. 3 pick. Everyone expects Falcons to grab a quarterback, but new GM Thomas Dimitroff instead will make a splash with the dynamic two-time Heisman finalist. This is another team to watch in the trading-down game.

4 (4) Raiders Glenn Dorsey DT LSU

The Raiders have their eyes on McFadden, but with Warren Sapp retiring and them rating Dorsey as the draft's top defender, they should add the former LSU star to bolster their run stopping.

5 (5) Chiefs Updated Matt Ryan QB Boston Coll.

The Chiefs hint that Brodie Croyle will be their quarterback of the present and near future, but it would be hard to pass up on the more talented Ryan.

6 (6) Jets Quentin Groves OLB Auburn

The Jets have struggled with their pass rush in the Eric Mangini era. Groves, a premier athlete who can play either defensive end in a 4-3 or outside linebacker in a 3-4, has all the physical tools to be an impact edge pass rusher.

7 (7) Patriots Mike Jenkins CB South Fla.

(from San Francisco) The Patriots are about to lose Asante Samuel as a free agent, and Ellis Hobbs struggled through an inconsistent season. With a new dire need for a cornerback, Jenkins is the best one on the board.

8 (8) Ravens Updated Brian Brohm QB Louisville

The Ravens can start the post-Brian Billick era by landing the franchise quarterback that Billick never had. Brohm is polished enough to start right away for John Harbaugh and Cam Cameron.

9 (9) Bengals Updated Sedrick Ellis DT USC

The Bengals have struggled to create a pass rush with their front four in recent seasons. Ellis would give them an explosive interior rusher who will consistently make impact plays against both the pass and the run.

10 (10) Saints Keith Rivers OLB USC

Ideally, the Saints would like to draft a cornerback, but Rivers would be a much better value here. He is a premier linebacker who can upgrade their defensive speed while covering and making plays all over the field.

11 (11) Bills Updated Malcolm Kelly* WR Oklahoma

The Bills need to upgrade at wide receiver opposite Lee Evans, and although LSU's Early Doucet might still be on the board, the bigger Kelly is the better complement to the speedster Evans, making life easier for second-year quarterback Trent Edwards.

12 (12) Broncos Updated Jake Long T Michigan

Long can't be categorized as the typical undersized yet very athletic Broncos offensive lineman, but he would bring much-needed toughness and aggressiveness to their front five.

13 (13) Panthers Updated Calais Campbell* DE Miami (FL)

Offensive tackle is no longer a need after the re-signing of Travelle Wharton and the franchise-tagging of Jordan Gross, so the Panthers focus on the edge of their other line, where Campbell can eventually replace aging Mike Rucker.

14 (14) Bears Jeff Otah T Pitt

The Bears must upgrade their offensive line and Otah is a huge tackle with great natural skills. He is a bit raw, but he has the size, strength and athleticism to be special.

15 (15) Lions Leodis McKelvin CB Troy

The Lions' secondary needs much help. Although McKelvin struggled at the Senior Bowl, he has a ton of talent to go with good size and great competitiveness.

16 (16) Cardinals Rashard Mendenhall* RB Illinois

With Edgerrin James slowing down as he approaches 30, the Cardinals can grab Mendenhall, an instant-impact explosive runner who would add a much-needed home-run threat to their power rushing attack.

17 (17) Vikings Updated Chris Williams T Vandy

The Vikings are pretty strong as a run-blocking line, but right tackle was a problem all last season. Williams would solidify that position and could eventually move over to take over for left tackle Bryant McKinnie.

18 (18) Texans Kenny Phillips* S Miami (FL)

With equal concerns at corner and safety, the Texans most likely will take the best defensive back available. Phillips is a fine athlete who can be equally productive in run support and deep coverage.

19 (19) Eagles DaJuan Morgan* S NC State

The Eagles have long been looking for someone to pair with stalwart safety Brian Dawkins. Morgan is a very versatile athlete and playmaker.

20 (20) Buccaneers Updated Early Doucet WR LSU

The Bucs need an impact wide receiver other than aging Joey Galloway, and because former LSU star Michael Clayton doesn't seem to be the answer, they can go back to the Tigers to get the more explosive Doucet.

21 (21) Redskins Phillip Merling* DE Clemson

The Redskins need another pass rusher. Merling, big and strong, can play from either the left or the right edge and excel is a specialized No. 3 as a rookie.

22 (22) Cowboys Updated Andre Caldwell WR Florida

(from Cleveland) The Cowboys may debate between wide receiver and cornerback, but the elusive and big playmaking Caldwell is their best first-round choice.

23 (23) Steelers Pat Sims* DT Auburn

The Steelers remain solid all-around, but they need to address their aging defensive line, especially after Aaron Smith finished the season on IR.

24 (24) Titans Updated DeSean Jackson* WR Cal

The Titans really need to add playmakers around Vince Young, and they also need an impact return specialist to replace Pacman Jones. Jackson would solve both problems.

25 (25) Seahawks Updated Felix Jones* RB Arkansas

The Seahawks should realize that Shaun Alexander isn't the

26 (26) Jaguars Updated Mario Manningham* WR Michigan

A tough, aggressive defensive would be another first-round option, but the Jaguars could use some more playmakers around David Garrard, who looks like he will be their quarterback for several years to come.

27 (27) Chargers Ray Rice* RB Rutgers

It seems strange the Chargers would draft a player for their best position, but consider that insurance for LaDainian Tomlinson is very important, especially with Michael Turner set to leave as a free agent.

28 (28) Cowboys Reggie Smith* CB Oklahoma

If they indeed grab a top wide receiver such as Andre Caldwell with their first first-round pick, the Cowboys can get this tough, versatile cornerback who can start early in his career and even move to -- and shine at -- safety if needed.

29 (29) 49ers Updated Donnie Avery WR Houston

(from Indianapolis) The 49ers need to give Alex Smith more help. Avery fits the Mike Martz offense to a tee.

30 (30) Packers Updated Martellus Bennett* TE Tex. A&M

Although Donald Lee is a solid workmanlike starting tight end, Bubba Franks has become more of a complementary blocker now. It's never a bad idea to give Brett Favre another weapon for the West Coast passing game.

31 (31) Giants Curtis Lofton* ILB Oklahoma

Because of their lacking outside linebacker depth, the Giants moved end Mathias Kiwanuka back to the second level. Lofton would improve that depth, allowing them to put Kiwanuka back at his natural position and further bolster their NFL-best pass rush.

2nd round

15 (46) Bengals Updated Derrick Harvey* DE Florida

The Bengals need a defensive end to help pressure the QB. Harvey is a top athlete, and with a little time to develop, he should become an elite pass rusher.

3rd round

14 (77) Bengals Updated Tashard Choice RB Georgia Tech

The Bengals had some injury and inconsistency issues in the backfield last season. Choice is a versatile back who can contribute both in the running and passing games.

Hard to see Clady going No. 2 overall now that he failed to impress at the combine and people are saying that his mediocre bench results mean he'll have to work on his upper body strength.

Hard to see Clady going No. 2 overall now that he failed to impress at the combine and people are saying that his mediocre bench results mean he'll have to work on his upper body strength.

That has to be the worst mock draft on the internet, where the hell is Vernon Gholston on that list? When they don't have him anywhere in the first round you know they don't know what they are talking about. Clady you can substitute Jake Long in his place on that list, Caldwell that high in the draft I don't think so but I have seen crazier things but Atlanta picking McFadden over a franchise quarterback that's just dumb right there. That whole mock draft is ate up, I would take anything they say with a grain of salt after looking over this. I see they have Choice going to us in the third round the Bengals better not draft a running back that high we have enough on our roster now, but knowing the Bengals I could see them cutting Chris Perry and putting Irons on the IR for the year saying that they are not rushing him back after they draft a running back such as Choice so they might be right on with that choice. I can see Dorsey falling to fourth after reports came out that his leg is not completely healed from a previous injury, I don't know who his agent is but I would have had his legs checked out before I sent him to Indy to let them poke and prod him.
