combatbengal Posted April 2, 2012 Report Share Posted April 2, 2012 OK guys, FA came, we got a slow start, lost some players, picked some up. The daft is this month! There are still some FA’s out there so here are the questions;1. Are we done with FA’s or do we still go after some players? I know we don’t want him back on the team but thought it was funny hearing him speak. TO is wanting back in the NFL and stated that he’d work for minimum salary and work to earn his spot on a roster!! I can’t believe that the Giants lost their RB to the 49ers. Wish we would have gone after him, he’s a beast!2. Second question, what positions and who do we select with our two first round picks? WR (we need someone to help Green out)? OL (Andy needs protection and we need to open holes for the run)? DL (Need run stoppers and pass rushers)? DB (We didn't cover anybody last season. Other WR's were a good 10 yards open on every play. not sure if it was our players of the game plan), RB (Could use some fresh young legs)? We're good at QB!, Don't need a kicker or punter! Think we're ok at TE! ...... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ArmyBengal Posted April 2, 2012 Report Share Posted April 2, 2012 Are we done with FA’s or do we still go after some players? Okoye is suppose to be in today for a visit. I'd would like him alot. WR's ?? Wait for the draft. TO ?? F*CK NO !!!What positions and who do we select with our two first round picks? WR (we need someone to help Green out)? OL (Andy needs protection and we need to open holes for the run)? DL (Need run stoppers and pass rushers)? DB (We didn't cover anybody last season. Other WR's were a good 10 yards open on every play. not sure if it was our players of the game plan), RB (Could use some fresh young legs)? I'm still FIRMLY in the OG/CB camp for our first two picks. If both DeCastro and Glenn are gone, they could go many different ways. WR, Safety, who knows. I will say this though, if both OG's are gone at #17, I would like to see a trade back if it could be managed, grab a CB with the next pick and then see who's there.

combatbengal Posted April 2, 2012 Author Report Share Posted April 2, 2012 I want a CB in the first round! We will need a WR sooner or later!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
combatbengal Posted April 2, 2012 Author Report Share Posted April 2, 2012 With the 17th pick in the NFL 2012 draft, the Cincinnati Bengals select Dre Kirkpatrick (CB), Alabama! OR With the 17th pick in the NFL 2012 draft, the Cincinnati Bengals select Janoris Jenkins (CB) North Alabama!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skyline Posted April 2, 2012 Report Share Posted April 2, 2012 You know, someone that doesn't get any mention is Casey Hayward out of Vanderbilt. I think he has the potential to be every bit as good as the guys mentioned in the first round. If we have a chance to nab him in the 2nd or 3rd, I'd be a very happy Bengals fan.

Stripes Posted April 2, 2012 Report Share Posted April 2, 2012 I don't really want a corner in the first round. I won't throw a fit if it happens, but I'd be underwhelmed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ArmyBengal Posted April 3, 2012 Report Share Posted April 3, 2012 I don't really want a corner in the first round. I won't throw a fit if it happens, but I'd be underwhelmed.I would bet that Hall starts the season on the PUP and someone else will be starting.Jason Allen signed a 2 year deal, but both Clements and Ghee will be FA's after this season.I just don't think they can take the chance that Hall is there.

redsbengalsbucks Posted April 3, 2012 Report Share Posted April 3, 2012 CB has to be #1 priority in this draft, they need at least 1 starter and 1 project for next year. OG is #2 on the list, they need to replace Williams with an immediate starter. After those 2 spots are filled, BPA out of any position other than QB, P, K or TE.I'd be very happy with a starting CB and OG with the first round picks, opening up the rest of the picks for whatever player falls in the Bengals laps.

ArmyBengal Posted April 3, 2012 Report Share Posted April 3, 2012 I really think people underestimate our need for an OLB (especially weakside) and a #2 WR.Howard and Rivers are both FA's after this season and I don't care if they think the #2 WR is on the roster or not.They lost both Caldwell and Simpson (for the time being) and you know they always draft at least one WR.I think it comes within the first 4 rounds. You can add FS and OT depth to the list as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scottishbengal Posted April 3, 2012 Report Share Posted April 3, 2012 I really think Binns will emerge as our No.2 wideout so I can't see an early pick going there.DB's - I would be happy to see a CB taken with either of the 1st round options but I think the safety spots will be filled from the current roster.It's gotta be the Lines for me with the other 1st round selection and possibly the 2nd and 3rd rounds too. A running back will be taken in the later rounds. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ArmyBengal Posted April 3, 2012 Report Share Posted April 3, 2012 I'm of the line of the line of thought that if they don't get a RB in the first 3 rounds, why bother ??There won't be any power guys that can catch and there won't be anyone that presents an upgrade to what's on the roster.

HoosierCat Posted April 3, 2012 Report Share Posted April 3, 2012 I'm betting WR and CB in round 1. Marvin has said repeatedly that round 1 is where you get your top-caliber corners, and they've done nothing to address WR in FA despite all sorts of question marks.

I will happily sit back and see what direction they go in round 2, but I think it would be OG. That leaves them hoping a RB falls in the 3rd. Man, I would be f*cking stoked looking at the first 3 rounds like this:FloydGilmoreZietlerPolk (I know Derek, let me dream) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It can't really be that much worse... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know what you are saying, I just don't think they can pass it up. Use the tag like the Steelers did this year and work out a deal for the other. Maybe get some big picks in return. Who knows, but I think you take Floyd if he's there. I think it's a mute point though, because I don't think he gets past the Jets at #16.

walzav29 Posted April 4, 2012 Report Share Posted April 4, 2012 I think Floy will go before Blackmon. If Blackmon falls to Cincy do they take him? I think they'll take Gilmore. It will be interesting to see how Claibornes 4 on his wonderlic effects his stock. Kuchley would be great. It's going to be fun, but it's the AFC North. You can't be too strong on the O-line. If Decastro is there they have to take him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stripes Posted April 4, 2012 Report Share Posted April 4, 2012 An upgrade at #2 WR would be a good thing, but I really don't want to spend either of the first round picks on one. Yuck. That's even more bothersome a thought than going CB. If a top two corner falls to us, then I could live with that. I want nothing to do with Floyd or Blackmon though (and I see no chance of getting Blackmon). That's way too much draft-building emphasis placed on the WR position after Green last year.The positions I would most appreciate seeing drafted in the first:GuardRunning back (if Richardson somehow becomes plausible)Linebacker (any of the three positions)Defensive endSafety Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UK Bengal Posted April 4, 2012 Report Share Posted April 4, 2012 I laugh at the wonderlic u would have to be brainless not to score high with questions like what's the ninth month of the year !!!And no u don't get it right by saying the start of football season Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
