I'd be just as happy with Ross at 9 as I would Williams or Davis. He's a true rarity, with extreme long speed, and runs exceptional routes. Think Antonio Brown but much faster. I can't take seriously anyone who wouldn't take ABrown in the top ten of a redraft when he came out. Something tells me it will be a defensive player, only because there are so many needs. I also think a guy like Hooker could fall, with so much talk of teams vying for QBs, and that would be great. I don't want to hear about our safety depth, Williams is average. Hooker would be an immediate upgrade. So Foster, Ross, Williams, Hooker, Allen, Howard, Barnett ... All fine by me. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ArmyBengal Posted April 17, 2017 Report Share Posted April 17, 2017 Honestly, I won't be too upset with almost anyone that will be there when they go on the clock. Anyone but Taco Fucking Charlton. Yes Hooker would be great but just like Bodine, they just love Shawn Williams. Yes I still dislike that pick. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HoosierCat Posted April 17, 2017 Author Report Share Posted April 17, 2017 Shoulder still effed up, could need surgery. He'll be a Bengal and go on IR all year. It'll be like having 2 first round picks in 2018! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ArmyBengal Posted April 18, 2017 Report Share Posted April 18, 2017 Foster's shoulder will result in a drop down the boards. That's a huge NO at #9. Sad, because he was always my top guy to get. Best player available plain and simple. Could be RB, WR, DE, TE, Safety. Who falls ?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ArmyBengal Posted April 18, 2017 Report Share Posted April 18, 2017 With the first round of the draft just a little over a week away, is the time right for another "Bengalszone Metal Off" ??

AMPHAR Posted April 18, 2017 Report Share Posted April 18, 2017 Thoughts on Foster and his shoulder. Non-factor, IMO. I did a half ass snap analysis and roster spot analysis a while back. There just isn't enough snaps available for any rookie LB to make an impact their rookie season without the Bengals drastically changing the way they operate on Defense or injuries bug striking hard. A LB pick would be for the future with Burfict and Minter working on contract years. Shoulder is a non factor, IMO. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

COB Posted April 20, 2017 Report Share Posted April 20, 2017 If Jake Butt is still there in the 2nd I can see the Bengals pulling the trigger. He checks all the boxes - great value at the pick due to injury, huge ceiling/upside if it works, he's from Ohio, he puts a first contract guy into a spot where we were previously paying a vet, etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AMPHAR Posted April 21, 2017 Report Share Posted April 21, 2017 I've been biased against taking a 4-3 LB with 9. I've got all kinds of whacked out theories to support my bias. Anyhoo has nothing to do with failed drug test or whatever hopefully this dude falls all the way to 41. He's probably now a teens/late 20s pick now. This dude has a hell of highlight package and draft write up that even despite the troubles and although I don't think/want 4-3 LB at 9 if it happened it probably would be a A pick.

ArmyBengal Posted April 22, 2017 Report Share Posted April 22, 2017 If Foster is the pick, I won't really complain. I won't be surprised by almost any pick in the first. RB- Cook (Fournette will be gone) WR- Ross (He's a speed guy to take the top off) TE- Howard (Eifert is a FA after this year and broken) LB- Foster (Minter is on a one year deal) What it either Hooker or Adams falls ?? They would have to be considered. Then there's the myriad of DE possibilities. There's no DT possibilities at #9, but there's always the possibility of CB. So that's 6 firm positions that may be considered at #9. Sounds like they could trade down and still get a guy they love. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wraith Posted April 24, 2017 Report Share Posted April 24, 2017 I want the Bengals to trade McCarron and #9 to San Fran for the #2 pick. Adams, Thomas, Howard might all be gone by #9. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Passepartout Posted April 24, 2017 Report Share Posted April 24, 2017 Yeah as McCarron would be a good fit for SF! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ArmyBengal Posted April 24, 2017 Report Share Posted April 24, 2017 Someone is going to be there for the taking at #9 and maybe even lower if they wanted to trade down. I read an article recently, I think the enquirer where they were talking about 1st round TE's in the draft. Since 2010 only 3 TE's have been taken in the first round and the Bengals had two of the three. Gresham and Eifert. That being said, I don't view that as a reason to take Howard at #9, I view it as a reason to wait. Give me any one of the top 4 TE's at the top of the 2nd round and you can color me happy. Evan Engram please. Trading McCarron to move up ?? I suppose they could, but again, I think someone will be there at #9 worth waiting for. Why give up McCarron for basically the same thing ?? Give me a 2nd rounder in trade for him and i'm much happier. 3 picks in the first two rounds could go a long way in seeing this team turn things around sooner rather than later.

COB Posted April 24, 2017 Report Share Posted April 24, 2017 A 2nd rounder for McCarron? Done. I'd be overjoyed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
