derekshank Posted April 29, 2012 Report Share Posted April 29, 2012 Oh, I have no issues with the pick. I like it very much as a matter of fact.So should all the people that thought it was a plausible idea to draft Fleener at #21.I would like to hear Green's comments about him as they played together.I mentioned Orson Charles as a pick I would like in the 3rd round (rather than Fleener in the 1st) back on April 10th... so yeah, I'm really happy about him in the 4th.

So let's pass the question to you, why did you think we needed a new TE? Which one do you envision Charles replacing? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So let's pass the question to you, why did you think we needed a new TE? Which one do you envision Charles replacing?Well... I don't think the Bengals really needed another TE... but Gruden certainly wanted another one.As soon as Gruden was hired, they went out and signed Bo Scaife. He went to IR almost instantly, so they brought in Donald Lee.Jay Gruden has talked publicly about wanting to use a lot of multiple TE sets. Injuries made it difficult last year (but New England proved how effective it can be). If Charles and Gresham play up to their potential, I think we'll see a lot of multiple TE sets that are very difficult to defend. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sea Ray Posted May 1, 2012 Report Share Posted May 1, 2012 I think Charles will be a fun toy for Gruden to use in the red zone and I look forward to what Gruden came come up with. So you're thinking Lee is the odd man out? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ArmyBengal Posted May 1, 2012 Author Report Share Posted May 1, 2012 I think between Cochart and Charles, Cochart has the best shot of sticking on the practice squad.There were probably teams that had Charles rated high, but weren't willing to take him do to issues.Stick him on the practice squad where the teams get something for nothing at low pay and I think you will find teams willing to take that chance and snatch him up.

He was active for most games last year right? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kazkal Posted May 1, 2012 Report Share Posted May 1, 2012 101...Donald Lee is OLD, and prone to breaking. He has now been hugely upgraded.He produced for us when Healthy but I could see them doing Youth movement I really like our 3 Young TE's.Is Cochart PS eligible? He was active for most games last year right? Why Risk letting him go the guy is a stud blocker and Decent hands. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
