HoosierCat Posted April 27, 2013 Report Share Posted April 27, 2013 Well, Joe Goodberry will be happy, he was all pissed when they took Hawkinson over Fragel.Very developmental prospect. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stripes Posted April 27, 2013 Report Share Posted April 27, 2013 The draft has become very offensively-focused. That's 6 of 9 so far on offense, including the first two. I can understand considering the disparity in each group's performance last season, but I am still a bit wary of that spread. Maybe the UDFAs can help close the gap.

membengal Posted April 27, 2013 Report Share Posted April 27, 2013 Stripes, the offense needed some fresh blood, we have had some defensive tilted drafts of late. And since we took defense in 2nd, 3rd, and 4th round, its not like they ignored that side of the ball... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShulaSteakhouse Posted April 27, 2013 Report Share Posted April 27, 2013 I wonder if they want to use Fragel as a TE or RT prospect, or both. Definitely a project with some high upside, slipped a few rounds (think he was projected as a 4th rounder). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ArmyBengal Posted April 28, 2013 Author Report Share Posted April 28, 2013 I know the Bengals were really high on Fragel and i'm sure they were thrilled seeing him there in the 7th. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Definitely a project with some high upside, slipped a few rounds (think he was projected as a 4th rounder).I'm sure it's tackle mainly but they love using Roland as tackle eligible is jumbo/goal line packages, so if you could replace him with a guy who could actually catch...

skyline Posted April 28, 2013 Report Share Posted April 28, 2013 Two 6'8" linemen in the same draft? That's madness and I like it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ArmyBengal Posted April 28, 2013 Author Report Share Posted April 28, 2013 After resigning big Dre and then getting two more guys capable of playing RT, I guess Anthony Collins has his answer.Such is life. I like this pick though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scottishbengal Posted April 28, 2013 Report Share Posted April 28, 2013 I'm loving this pick, great potentail as a project player .... thought he would have gone in 5th round (maybe 4th, but maybe that was a wee bit high for him) so I'm stoked we nabbed him. Highest graded player of all of those taken in the 7th Round (other than QB Zac Dysert) according to NFL.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
