HairOnFire Posted April 29, 2011 Report Share Posted April 29, 2011 And who ends up as our QB? A crappy veteran. Perhaps even Carson Palmer himself. But regardless of who eventually gets the nod I can't knowingly support the idea of overdrafting this years version of Tommy Maddox simply because the position demands a warm body to fill out the uniform. Nutshelled, the consensus opinion is arguing that New England now finds itself sitting in the catbird seat and can auction off it's draft slot to any of the needy teams willing to reach for a QB. I say ignore the overheated overinflated auction and instead....make a selection from a list of the dozen or so players who are ranked higher than Dalton. As for Mallet, I'd consider drafting him only if he's still there in the 3rd....which I'm willing to bet he will be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TJJackson Posted April 29, 2011 Report Share Posted April 29, 2011 I find myself NOT wanting Paea. Why not, oh master of the-theres-the-rub?and since we're talking pre-pick here, what do you want us to do with the second pick? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ArmyBengal Posted April 29, 2011 Author Report Share Posted April 29, 2011 I would be willing to bet the remainder of the QB needy teams will snatch up Dalton, Mallett, and Kaepernick to start. I bet they go before half the 2nd round is out. If that is fact the case and we aren't one of the ones making that pick, I'm ok with it. I don't feel the need to take anything other than BPA sitting where we are.If we take either of the top two QB's remaining, I won't really complain.

HairOnFire Posted April 29, 2011 Report Share Posted April 29, 2011 I find myself NOT wanting Paea. Why not, oh master of the-theres-the-rub? Two reasons, mostly. First, I consider Paea to be fit in a 3-4 scheme. If judged soley as a 4-3 prospect I'd guess he'd be ranked much lower. Second, I'm simply underwhelmed by the guy and don't think he's worthy of the pick even under the best circumstances....which don't include worries about his knee. In fact, I'd happily draft an injured Bruce Carter over Paea without giving it a second thought. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ArmyBengal Posted April 29, 2011 Author Report Share Posted April 29, 2011 There are so many highly rated players still left, it's crazy.It makes me feel VERY good about who will still be there at the top of the 3rd, knowing many of these teams are going to snatch up the QB's.Question is, are we one of them ??

HoosierCat Posted April 29, 2011 Report Share Posted April 29, 2011 Report: Bengals targeting QB in the second round.During a SportsCenter update with draft picks selecting early in the second round, ESPN's Bob Holtzman provided some insight into the Bengals second round plan kicking off Friday evening. The Bengals are targeting two players right now, TCU quarterback Andy Dalton and Arkansas quarterback Ryan Mallett. Dalton, Holtzman reports, is "Plan A" while Mallett is "Plan B"."As for Plan C," Holtzman reports, "That's something the Bengals don't want to think about."

NJ29 Posted April 29, 2011 Report Share Posted April 29, 2011 Drafting Mallett would have the power to make me single handedly hate this entire draft. f**k. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
volcom69 Posted April 29, 2011 Report Share Posted April 29, 2011 There is no way the Bengals pass up on a QB, as much as im not sure about these guys, the Bengals seem to be high on Dalton. If Gruden thinks hes his guy then so be it, he knows better then any of us.Also said that the Bengals were talking to New England about a trade, so not sure whats going to happen there.If they do draft Dalton then i wonder if they will draft Curly later on lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HairOnFire Posted April 29, 2011 Report Share Posted April 29, 2011 Dalton Mallett No, no, no, Mallett should be So if Mallet is selected I guess you won't be making more stupid remarks about a draftee looking like a deer in headlights?

HoosierCat Posted April 29, 2011 Report Share Posted April 29, 2011 So if Mallet is selected I guess you won't be making more stupid remarks about a draftee looking like a deer in headlights? Sorry, chumly, that wasn't me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
volcom69 Posted April 29, 2011 Report Share Posted April 29, 2011 Dalton is a winning QB, and as of now is probably the best QB thats ready to play. Remember Gruden says any QB will be successful in his system, and if he sees Dalton as a great QB in his system then so be it and take him.

HairOnFire Posted April 29, 2011 Report Share Posted April 29, 2011 So if Mallet is selected I guess you won't be making more stupid remarks about a draftee looking like a deer in headlights? Sorry, chumly, that wasn't me. Sure it was. Immediately after the pick you welcomed Green to Siberia and noted how subdued he was. But of course being subdued is just an example of Green being Green, and you'd already know that if you knew anything about the kid. Regardless, generaldreedle later asked if he was the only one who thought Green looked like a deer in headlights. You promptly chimed in saying it wasn't just him. So yeah, it was you, chumly. You and the general, sharing an intimate moment that only the two of you can understand or explain. Sorta like two young schoolgirls experimenting with their own newly discovered budding sexuality.

derekshank Posted April 29, 2011 Report Share Posted April 29, 2011 I would have thought those of you who want them to deal Palmer to be happy with that above (er...previous page) blurb.Indeed. MB has effectively given himself an out.He's said all along that he has no intention of trading Palmer, because Palmer is central to the Bengals plans.Now he's saying, if the right QB falls In our laps, the Palmer plans are moot... so I'd be willing to entertain offers, assuming proper compensation.He's sticking to his "on my terms" ideas about a trade, without creating a buyers market for Palmer. More than that, he's keeping Palmer in his place by waiting to see how the draft falls out before entertaining a trade. In other words... Palmer, we have no qualms replacing you with a rookie and watching you retire, unless there is an offer we can't refuse. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
