ArmyBengal Posted April 26, 2009 Report Posted April 26, 2009 With their 7th pick in the 2009 NFL Draft, the Cincinnati Bengals select: Morgan Trent, CB, Michigan Quote
ShulaSteakhouse Posted April 26, 2009 Report Posted April 26, 2009 First "meh" pick of the draft. Quote
BTG Posted April 26, 2009 Report Posted April 26, 2009 Meh. I'll take Morgan Trent together with Leon again. Apparently the Bengals think they're set at RB. I tend to disagree, but..... Quote
Kazkal Posted April 26, 2009 Report Posted April 26, 2009 Hey we still have another 6th rounder! Meh. I'll take Morgan Trent together with Leon again. Apparently the Bengals think they're set at RB. I tend to disagree, but.....It's not too late...... Quote
alleycat Posted April 26, 2009 Report Posted April 26, 2009 Or, they know that they are still so many good RB's available that they can still get someone who meets their needs with a later pick. I mean, is there a big difference between cory sheets and cedric peerman? Quote
derekshank Posted April 26, 2009 Report Posted April 26, 2009 I would have much rather had Coye Francies as a CB here... but I understand the position at least. Hopefully he can be a good nickle corner, because one of his strengths are his reliability as a tackler. Quote
BengalszoneBilly Posted April 26, 2009 Report Posted April 26, 2009 Meh. I'll take Morgan Trent together with Leon again. Apparently the Bengals think they're set at RB. I tend to disagree, but.....I have to believe RB will be the next pick. Possibly QB as well. Quote
kurgan74 Posted April 26, 2009 Report Posted April 26, 2009 not too pumped wih Jennings on the board. Quote
BTG Posted April 26, 2009 Report Posted April 26, 2009 I'll bet that the Bengals don't take a RB with their last 6th rounder, either.Sadly I will not be here for that. I have to leave for *shudder* work in 20 minutes. Quote
scott91575 Posted April 26, 2009 Report Posted April 26, 2009 Yup, First pick I am not happy with. Dude gets burnt likes it's his job. He has good speed, but that is about it. Quote
UF_Gators_15 Posted April 26, 2009 Report Posted April 26, 2009 I agree I don't know anything about Morgan Trent but I too was 'Meh' for the first time. I was hoping for a RB like Peerman or Rashad Jennings, hell I want Graham Gano the killa kicker from FSU so that way we can cut Shayne Graham. Quote
kentjett Posted April 26, 2009 Report Posted April 26, 2009 He looked really good at the combine and has elite speed. He beat Ted Ginn Jr. in both the 100m and the 200m in highschool. Quote
Dadraftnick Posted April 26, 2009 Report Posted April 26, 2009 Yes! Yes ! This is another one of my guys- I love this guy as a #3 CB - he is someone that could start if neededHe is a big CB he is 6-1 193 and great production5/17/08: Morgan Trent improved in 2007 after struggling the year before. He had 106 tckles, 18 pass breakups and four interceptions. He runs a 4.43 Quote
derekshank Posted April 26, 2009 Report Posted April 26, 2009 Yup, First pick I am not happy with. Dude gets burnt likes it's his job. He has good speed, but that is about it.I guess it depends what you're asking him to do. If he plays strictly as the nickle, he's not likely to get burnt too often... and Michigan didn't exactly surround him with talent either.Anyway... Like I said, there are other CB's I would have preferred here - but I can't get too worked up about a 6th rounder I disagree with. Quote
Kazkal Posted April 26, 2009 Report Posted April 26, 2009 Well it is a 6th round CB with 27 Cornerbacks being taken before him....He's gonna have some flaw's in his game but hopefully Zimmer & Coyle can coach him up. Quote
kentjett Posted April 26, 2009 Report Posted April 26, 2009 You can't coach speed. This guy has all the tools but he's been stuck on a crappy team. Quote
rwalling Posted April 26, 2009 Report Posted April 26, 2009 Hes a 6'1 conerback not a bad pickwho doesn't play to his workout speed or tackle well. color me meh. (Mike's woken up.) Quote
scott91575 Posted April 26, 2009 Report Posted April 26, 2009 He looked really good at the combine and has elite speed. He beat Ted Ginn Jr. in both the 100m and the 200m in highschool.and Tedd Ginn, Santonio Holmes, and Brian Robiskie (who does not have great speed) all made him look terrible. It wasn't just them either. I have seen almost every one of his games, and not impressed is an understatement. Clearly they are not going to get a starting CB in the 6th, but I am not sure he is even a backup.I could be wrong, but count me as considering this a wasted pick. Quote
redsbengalsbucks Posted April 26, 2009 Report Posted April 26, 2009 My wife is a U of M fan and I watch or listen to many of the games, cant say as this kid has ever made an impression on me good or bad. Hope he can become a solid #3 CB. Put me in the camp as hoping to be surprised by a U of M CB again, because I was not excited about Hall when picked, but he has turned out OK. Quote
Burbank Posted April 26, 2009 Report Posted April 26, 2009 Finally someone mentions Kory Sheets. I'm very enamored of that guy, but I'm also a Boiler so, you know.As long as the Bengals don't pick Curtis Painter. No one in the NFL deserves Curtis Painter. Quote
volcom69 Posted April 26, 2009 Report Posted April 26, 2009 Well if this is the first MEH all draft wrong then they def. did something right this year, because your always going to have those meh guys in the draft. Quote
rwalling Posted April 26, 2009 Report Posted April 26, 2009 Well if this is the first MEH all draft wrong then they def. did something right this year, because your always going to have those meh guys in the draft.Beats the hell out of the usual first day meh. Quote
DesperateDerelict Posted April 26, 2009 Report Posted April 26, 2009 Y'know, sometimes, when you're on a roll, you keep pressin' your bet. If they have their eyes on multiple RB's, they may just be crossin' their fingers one (or more) will contine to fall.Never heard of Morgan Trent, but he sounds like a CIA agent. Walter had him pegged for a low 4 - high 5 pick, and Scout.com had him at #14 CB & #109 overall.It is a need pick - we're a little shorth in the dbs Quote
