Spor_tees Posted April 26, 2009 Report Share Posted April 26, 2009 Let the complaining begin! Well the Bengals did get their pass rusher in Johnson. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alleycat Posted April 26, 2009 Report Share Posted April 26, 2009 I had a feeling after watching the Bengals' draft special.Too much talent to pass up again. Lot's of people had this guy pegged for the 1st.I think the centers available just weren't worth the place we were picking, despite the need.

Clackwoods Posted April 26, 2009 Report Share Posted April 26, 2009 Dude, I cannot believe what is happening. Who the hell is running that draft this year? Is Marv Levy in their, Jerry West? lmfao I love our draft Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kurgan74 Posted April 26, 2009 Report Share Posted April 26, 2009 Prior to last season he was a consensus first rounder. He has all the measurables you could want.Welcome to Cincy!!!They need a pass rusher to make Big Ben uand Flacco uncomfortable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coupdayta Posted April 26, 2009 Report Share Posted April 26, 2009 http://www.draftcountdown.com/scoutingrepo...ael-Johnson.php Sounds pretty good to me. Was projected to the second round. And I still bet Caldwell or Shipley will fall to us. This has been a great draft. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
volcom69 Posted April 26, 2009 Report Share Posted April 26, 2009 Love this pick in the book i have he was the 3rd best DE in the draft. Good pick up so far im liking what i see. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Whur CHad At? Posted April 26, 2009 Report Share Posted April 26, 2009 I think Caldwell can be there in the late 3rd, or we should try to trade Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ShulaSteakhouse Posted April 26, 2009 Report Share Posted April 26, 2009 Another guy like Rey they couldn't pass up. I wonder if Caldwell will still be there at the end of this round when they pick again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ArmyBengal Posted April 26, 2009 Author Report Share Posted April 26, 2009 I'm not as thrilled as I'm sure some are, but there's no denying the value of the pick and the need to get some pass rush for our defense.Good job again... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChadJohnson-85 Posted April 26, 2009 Report Share Posted April 26, 2009 No doubt the most exciting draft I've ever watched! Let's hope Caldwell slips!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
walzav29 Posted April 26, 2009 Report Share Posted April 26, 2009 Good value. I'm not crazy about this guy, but they definitely need pressure. We gotta get a rb and Center soon. I love this draft as well! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spor_tees Posted April 26, 2009 Report Share Posted April 26, 2009 How could the guy be projected as a first rounder before the season started? He never started more than one game in a season until his Senior year. The highest I had heard was a Second rounder based solely on his physical skills. Hopefully he can come in and be that third down edge rusher the Bengals so desperately need.Anyone else surprised ESPN just spent over 5 minutes talking about the Bengals? I swear this draft is happening in Bizarro world. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dadraftnick Posted April 26, 2009 Report Share Posted April 26, 2009 This is for sure the best DE on the board.Johnson had 9 sacks last year,he is susposed to be not so good against the run, WHO CARES,we will coach him up ! If this guy only rushes the passer every 3rd down he could put monster sack totals.Some guys had him in the 1st round.Nice pick!I am HAPPY with this one.I did think that they would have taken Antoine Caldwell whith the pick ,he is the last good C, but he may be there at the botton of the rnd.

Spor_tees Posted April 26, 2009 Report Share Posted April 26, 2009 Welp ESPN just interviewed Marvin and I really think they are going to be running a 3-4 sometimes this season. Basically Marvin just said that Johnson might be playing some OLB. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
walzav29 Posted April 26, 2009 Report Share Posted April 26, 2009 Gil Brandt said he is the most talented guy left on the second day. I'll take that any day.http://www.nfl.com/draft/story?id=09000d5d...mp;confirm=true Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kurgan74 Posted April 26, 2009 Report Share Posted April 26, 2009 6'7 and runs a 4.66....that is rare size and speed...The Bengals are getting major props for this draft...Way to go Marvin and company!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HairOnFire Posted April 26, 2009 Report Share Posted April 26, 2009 Well, I did want a pure pass rusher added to the mix....so there's that. And the guy has more physical upside than anyone in the entire draft. But this guy is one of the first names mentioned whenever the subject of "looks like Tarzan/play like Jane" is mentioned....so there's that too. Another "prove it to me" draftpick, but I'm not barking much because of where the guy was picked. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BengalPappaw Posted April 26, 2009 Report Share Posted April 26, 2009 3rd round is perfect for Michael johnson.I did NOT like him as a 1st round pick -- but, I love him as a third round pick.He can provide the situational pass rush with the best of the DEs. His problem was he took plays off and didn't seem very consistent.But, now we can use him as a pass rusher on third downs and he knows that his job is to get to the QB -- and that he can do.Freakish long arms, good speed, will make him a real plus for the Bengals.I LOVE this draft -- so far.P.S. DO NOT pay the kidnappers who have Mikee. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
