Who did you want in past drafts?

If we are going back 10 (or 11 using Big Ten math) drafts:

2003: I wanted to Trade Down and select Newman or Polamalu or if we were bound and determined to select a QB @ 1 I wanted Leftwich.....

2004: I wanted Kenechi Udeze or Vernon Carey (both gone) pre-draft and I wanted Chris Gamble at our selection

2005: David Pollack all the way, I was so excited by this draft!.....turned out one of the worst drafts in Bengals history goes to show....

2006: I was a big Manny Lawson guy but he went a couple of selections before so I was pretty great with Joseph

2007: I was for Amobi Okoye if he fell but I was high on Hall (though I didn't think we were going to take CB in back to back 1sts) or Nelson or Bowe.

2008: I wanted to trade up for Chris Long or Sedrick Ellis, I was pretty ok with Rivers though.

2009: I was PISSED at the Andre Smith selection, I wanted Eugene Monroe or trade down to select *cough, cough* mumbling something about Rey Maualuga being a top 15 pick

2010: Mike Iupati was my guy pre-draft at our position during the draft (since Iupati was gone) I wanted Weatherspoon, I thought the TE position was so deep in this draft that a very good one could have been had later.

2011: I wanted Peterson or Miller as with the previous year (at TE) I had a bunch of WRs graded about the same (Green, Baldwin, Smith, and Jones) and thought we should take the defensive guy and the WR in the second which would have cost us Dalton and I freely admit to being dead wrong happily!(of course in my defense I thought there was a 0% chance of trading Palmer for anything noteworthy and assumed we would eventually work something out with #9). I also wanted Kaepernick or Dalton in the second or third.

2012: I wanted DeCastro but Zeitler was high on my list as well, I was all about Kirkpatrick though I wanted him after the DeCastro selection.

2013: I wanted Cyprien or Arthur Brown, Jr. or a trade up for Tavon Austin

Forgot. In 2011, I was a big fan of grabbing Kaepernick, too. Also, other names I recall, in general, wanting to draft: Brandon Jacobs, Brandon Marshall, Marcedes Lewis, Leonard Pope.. will go look for some more names I pimped.

Some names I nailed (though not necessarily the round): Caldwell, Sims, Cosby

Chris Perry year I just knew we would land Wilfork or Steven Jackson.

I happened to be logged on to Bengalszone for the draft that year.

IIRC ...

Every single person in that chat felt very strongly that, if the Bengals were going to take a RB, they should have just taken Steven Jackson instead of trading down.

Looking back on it, you would have to think that changing that one pick could have made a major difference in the future of the team.
