ArmyBengal Posted May 9, 2014 Author Report Posted May 9, 2014 Have to love what Zimmer and that front office did in the draft.Buttf*cking the Texans on national tv and jumping ahead of them for Bridgewater at the price of a lowly 4th round pick.On top of that, that move will allow the Vikings the possiblity of using the extra year option they wouldn't have gotten had they waited until the 2nd.Next question is, where do the Bengals go in the 2nd round ??There are still a bunch of guys out there I would love to see and I think yet again, someone will be there we weren't expecting.

I really think they got a steal. The NFC North just got a whole lot more competitive.Next question is, where do the Bengals go in the 2nd round ??There are still a bunch of guys out there I would love to see and I think yet again, someone will be there we weren't expecting.OL would make a lot of sense, of course. Not sure who will be there? I also still really like Timmy Jernigan if he's available when we pick and there aren't any OL we like. Third choice, maybe Scott Crichton. He would be a great backup to Geathers/Gilberry, but I know we don't have a lot of room. Quote
rwalling@pinnacleactuaries.com Posted May 9, 2014 Report Posted May 9, 2014 Yep, Denver takes Roby? He has bust all over him. Just my opinion, man.If his problem is really weed, this is the worst possible fit. Just saying. Quote
ArmyBengal Posted May 9, 2014 Author Report Posted May 9, 2014 I'm thinking OL as well and am pretty confident a VERY solid player will be there when the Bengals go on the clock. Quote

skyline Posted May 9, 2014 Report Posted May 9, 2014 I'm thinking o-line as well, but people like Jordan Matthews and a couple of the RBs are VERY tempting this round... Quote

On the other hand there seem to 5-6 good interior Oline prospects, including Richburg, that might be taken. Am excited to see which way the team goes. Will they find the heir to Big Whit waiting for them at pick #55? Quote
volcom69 Posted May 9, 2014 Report Posted May 9, 2014 Give me Ealy or Lawrence with the next pick. I still think the way this team wins is with a top defense. Quote

Walrus Posted May 9, 2014 Report Posted May 9, 2014 For those of you who watch 'Justified' ... does Manziel remind you of Dewey Crowe?? (I would've posted this over to the Browns thread, but couldn't get the images to work there...) Quote
HoosierCat Posted May 9, 2014 Report Posted May 9, 2014 Every time I see him his face just screams DOUCHEBAG! But maybe that's just me... Quote
ArmyBengal Posted May 9, 2014 Author Report Posted May 9, 2014 Every time I see him his face just screams DOUCHEBAG! But maybe that's just me...Nope, i'm right there with you. Everytime I see him, there's a movie quote that immediately comes ot mind:"I don't know what it is about your face,"holds up fist"but I just want to deliver one of these right in your suck hole."

HoosierCat Posted May 9, 2014 Report Posted May 9, 2014 A couple nuggets from Hobs in his latest on the site:Dennard, one of the draft's consensus two top corners, hit them where they lived. Although the Steelers grabbed Ohio State's Ryan Shazier at No. 15, linebacker never seemed to be in play for the Bengals in the first round. Neither did quarterback. But cornerback...I can't say I'm surprised, LB never did make sense to me since they weren't moving Vontaze from WILL and for whatever reason they love First Name Rey. I think that lack of interest in a LB holds up through the next couple of rounds.Lewis didn’t look as relieved as Guenther, but he sounded it. The world is the Bengals’ oyster Friday. There is a raft of quarterbacks out there, not to mention offensive linemen, and even more cornerbacks. Could a running back be in the offing? Whatever, it's open season. The Dennard pick loosens them up.“It gives us the ability to move forward and take a look at some other spots where the draft might be a little deeper and get us in the right spots,” Lewis said.Sounds like they were going to pick a corner in the first two rounds come hell or high water. I'm still not feeling a QB but Hobs might be onto something at RB. And on the subject of QB...The Bengals, like everyone else, had a shot at Louisville quarterback Teddy Bridgewater and passed. It’s the first sign that they think they can re-sign Dalton. Unless, of course, they take a quarterback in Friday’s second or third round. By midnight we should have a pretty good idea on how they really feel about it.I'll put my marker on 0 QBs in the first three rounds./>http://www.bengals.com/news/article-1/Inside-the-pick-and-whats-next/c3775389-ffdb-4849-a675-a039f315f24b Quote
ArmyBengal Posted May 9, 2014 Author Report Posted May 9, 2014 Yep, Hoyer probably still gets the starting spot out of the gate and then with each incompletion, INT, or other bad play, the roar for Manziel will grow louder and louder. Can't say as that would bother me in the least. Roar away Browns fans, roar away. Quote
volcom69 Posted May 9, 2014 Report Posted May 9, 2014 Browns fans sure love it ticket sales are going up big time lol Quote

ArmyBengal Posted May 9, 2014 Author Report Posted May 9, 2014 I'm left to wonder if the Browns had known they would have had a shot at Marquise Lee in the 2nd, they would still have paid Hawkins that cash ?? Quote
ArmyBengal Posted May 9, 2014 Author Report Posted May 9, 2014 Moses would be fine by me when considering who he still had on the board at that point. Quote

Bengals recently have a decent batting average on DL with supposed effort problems (Michael Johnson, Carlos Dunlap but not so much Devon Still), but I'm not sure that effort is the question mark here. But it wouldn't surprise me if he's available, and wouldn't surprise me if Bengals take another crack at a DE who is dropping more than his talent would suggest. Quote
Kazkal Posted May 9, 2014 Report Posted May 9, 2014 In the words of TJ Gimme a Linemen!I'd even be okay with Bengals moving up to grab someone line Su'a-Filo.Well I know Bengals need add some Depth to the team the biggest things I wanna see getting taken care of is Quality CB(check),Quality Oline & Another steal @ linebacker.I read that some teams won't draft him because of his attitude.

Well I find good thing have plenty Quality DE's just find it hard justify spending a 2nd on the position we fairly deep at vs something like Oline where we need upgrade/replace starters. Quote

ArmyBengal Posted May 9, 2014 Author Report Posted May 9, 2014 Yankey was the guy I had in my mock here on the forum.Had time at both OT and OG.I would still prefer a line with Yankey starting at LG and Pollack in the middle instead of Pollack and Robinson.Another intelligent, high character, versatile lineman. Yes. Quote
