ArmyBengal Posted April 29, 2011 Author Report Share Posted April 29, 2011 Why would the Falcons offer us that pick knowing one of the two would be there to grab (and they wanted Jones) a pick later ??Wasn't our deal to turn down. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kevnz Posted April 29, 2011 Report Share Posted April 29, 2011 Just awful move on the Bengals part. Not so much the pick but that they didn't take that trade. I am sick, but not shocked....Typical of the stupidity that is Mike Brown and this team. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
volcom69 Posted April 29, 2011 Report Share Posted April 29, 2011 The question is what did the Falcons not offer that the Bengals balked on? Adam Shefter said a deal was in place and the Bengals nixed it at the last moment.I dont think i believe that, they said earlier in the night the Falcons were going to try to get Jones, and move to the Browns spot.

However i love this pick, i wanted Green, it just gives the bengals more weapons on the outside. It is a postion that needed to be upgraded, now time for Chad to go then i will really be happy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kevnz Posted April 29, 2011 Report Share Posted April 29, 2011 Come on Mike Brown has a plan.....LOL LOLYou are right. He has a plan, and come hell or highwater he goes with it and can't adapt to anything else. That's why he doesn't take a trade, he has no clue at who is worth what at the spot he'd have to trade down too. FAR OUT THIS TEAM IS A JOKE.

cincyhokie Posted April 29, 2011 Report Share Posted April 29, 2011 Brown's got:This year's 1st,2nd & 4th, 2012 1st & 4th.Please tell me we didn't turn down a similar deal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HairOnFire Posted April 29, 2011 Report Share Posted April 29, 2011 This one doesn't just work for me. It heals. Now all we have to do is cut the guy wearing clown shoes and we just might have the makings of a football team again. BTW, it's always nice to hear the Siberia rant from the Chad apologists. I won't say more for now because I know you guys are hurting inside after seeing your boy replaced so easily, but try comforting yourself by reminding yourself that the Bengals didn't really replace Chad. Rather, they actually upgraded the position he once played. Moving on.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HoosierCat Posted April 29, 2011 Report Share Posted April 29, 2011 @AdamSchefter: Atlanta came thisclose to pulling off a trade for WR A.J. Green. Its next target is Alabama WR Julio Jones. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cincyhokie Posted April 29, 2011 Report Share Posted April 29, 2011 I like the pick...alot. I would have liked a trade down better. Run first, defensive minded team? Could've used an extra 2 picks in the top 4 rounds to improve the lines and then a bonus 1st rounder next year.This team is far from one player making it better. However, Chad is gone. So many conflicting emotions.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ArmyBengal Posted April 29, 2011 Author Report Share Posted April 29, 2011 Hard to complain about Green really.I'm sure some will though.Could we please move next pick talk over to the 2nd round pre-pick thread ??Thanks everyone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
volcom69 Posted April 29, 2011 Report Share Posted April 29, 2011 They must really wanted AJ, because they were saying before the draft the Bengals were wanting to trade and listening to them. So something about AJ they must have loved, i do love the pick, but like others said all those picks would have been nice. So many holes to fill on this team, all those picks would have been nice Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HairOnFire Posted April 29, 2011 Report Share Posted April 29, 2011 Falcons trade all the way up for Jones... Confirming what I said in the draft thread about teams seeing Jones as a great #2WR prospect, but not a true #1 guy. For the Falcons, a team that already has Roddy White, a young #1WR still in his prime, Jones fits perfectly. And for Cleveland, a team that desperately needs WR help Jones isn't a must have because he can't fill their need for a true #1. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jones makes the most sense a good slot reciever with awsome blocking skills, he fits better for the Falcons. The Bengals need that speed guy that used to be Chad, and with great hands....well they got him in Green Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HairOnFire Posted April 29, 2011 Report Share Posted April 29, 2011 Hard to complain about Green really.I'm sure some will though. I'm guessing the missed trade opportunity with Atlanta will now quickly become the stuff of Bengal legend/misery. Welcome to the worst fanbase in all of sports AJ.
