1st Round #2: Kevin Zeitler

[ArmyBengal]

With their 2nd pick in the 2012 NFL Draft, the Cincinnati Bengals select:

KEVIN ZEITLER, OG, WISCONSIN

[membengal]

Thrilled. They clearly got one of their guys at offensive line they had targeted, and picked up an extra pick while doing it.

[membengal]

Oh, and Zeitler is a f**king beast.

Didn't see that one coming.

[volcom69]

Didnt see it, but he looks like a big physical guy, so if they got who they wanted then a good pick up for them.

[BengalszoneBilly]

T.J. Jackson got a 1st round lineman! Not a bad idea to protect Andy.

[jjakq27]

Hope so. Don't like that upshaw is there for the ravens and DeCastro is with Pittsburgh. I would have been happy with one or both with our two picks.

[HoosierCat]

Per all reports, bad ass run blocker. Can't complain. Good pick.

[ArmyBengal]

I'm happy with the pick for sure.

Could have had DeCastro and Upshaw, but will defer to the coaching staff on this one.

Welcome to Cincinnati Zeitler !!!

[jjakq27]

Hope he can start this year. Otherwise it's a wasted pick.

If he can't beat out Jacob Bell, the pick is sh*t.

I don't think that will be a problem.

[volcom69]

Would Marvin trade back up for Upshaw?? Baltimore will pick Upshaw or Glenn here

[Kazkal]

Like the pick two biggest holes are filled now go find some gems who wont be rushed to start....also trade back in to 1stwork and get upshaw

[membengal]

He's a mauler. He starts right away. Right now. It's a great pick. And, unlike with Decastro, you won't hear "has problems blocking size"...

[jjakq27]

Balt trades out. Good.

My man Joe on him:

Zeitler was easily best power run blocking OG in draft. Wisconsin's offensive line runs same concepts as Bengals. Definition of Plug N Play

[cHaD711Johnson]

2 biggest needs filled. I really like what we've done so far. Not the sexiest picks, but this is what good teams do. Now for David Wilson or Lamar Miller in the 2nd, and a WR in the 3rd.

[ArmyBengal]

Really hard to complain about filling holes with quality players.

Keep it up tomorrow Bengals !!!

Tough guy that plays nasty + another 3rd rounder?

Yes, please.

Sounds good. I'll defer to you mem. I hope they're gonna get back to running a little more now.

[ShulaSteakhouse]

Got no problems with a lineman in the 1st, if he's the best G in the draft, then it's a good pick, adding a 3rd to-boot.

Lineman who succeed here need as little coaching-up as possible, need to be good from day one.

Can't remember the last Wisconsin player the Bengals' drafted.

GIMME :-)

I like that this is a high effort, high intelligence guy with ability to pull.

I think they plug in the two new FA guys at LG and this guy is the new (and faster/younger) Bobbie

and they added a late r3 pick. Use that on a S or WR. Niiiiiiiiiice.

They must have spiked Son-of-a-Genius's hot cocoa with Sominex again this year. I'd be happy to personally reimburse whoever hiked over to Walgreens for it.

Yes, please.

Word. This has been a great frickin' draft. They stayed true to their board, didn't panic, and got an extra 3rd. Great work. And filled two need positions while they were at it.

[ArmyBengal]

Like I said, hard to complain !!!
