2005 draft

After the first 3 picks, I didn't like the selection he made for the Bengals w/ other guys still on the board. And he forgot to address one of the more important issues of drafting a center..... :player:

I couldn't take Shawne Merriman at # 17. I don't care what the hype is on the guy, I just can't take him over David Pollack or Marcus Spears plain and simple.

* Mel Kipers' hype machine gets teams in trouble every year, and Merriman is one of the better examples to show it !

Now if the draft fell this way Here's how I'd go.

#17. Marcus Spears De/Dt. L.S.U. - He's been my top player for Cincy for the last year.

#48. Alex Smith TE, Stanford. - Probably more athletically gifted than Miller !

#83. Chris Spencer C, Mississippi - When the Combines are said and done he's gonna be the highest rated center, so getting him late day one is a plus!

#113 Jammal Brimmer S, UNLV - If we could land him day 2 I would be super happy!

#144 Lorenzo Alexander DT, California - He's probably a better prospect than Langston Moore was at this stage. He's productive and smart.

#175 Gino Guidugli QB, Cincinnati - I really like this kid. Good Arm,leadership, and his areas of need are correctable. He'll push Kitna off the roster in a year, and Bramlet this year possibly.

#210 Pat Thomas LB, N.Carolina St. - A real tough guy. Plays with lots of emotion. Insurance against Abdullah's injury.

Actually, the guy I am hoping falls to us in the first round in Thomas Davis. None of the DT's clearly separate themselves. With all of them bunched together I think you could get good value there in round 2.

Actually, if there isn't am impact player there at 17 we feel strongly about I woudn't mind seeing the Bengals trade down and take Troy Williamson or Heath Miller.

Guru,

I like your assessment except on David Pollack. When I watch him, all I think of is Mike Mamula, but with a slightly bigger frame. We need an eraser @ DE, and I think Merriman has more ability to be one of those over Pollack. Would I select Merriman, probably not though. I like Travis Johnson (character issues though), Erasmus James, Marcus Spears, and Channing Crowder for first round consideration. :player:

I'm with you LA, I could live with the first three but didn't loke the rest that much. I've only watched a little of Merriman but from what I saw he is very athletic but might have to get a little bigger. I like the Guidiuli pick too, chris i think he could end up being a very good #2. I like the report on Brown, but I'd rather see baas from UM. That guy is one mean SOB!. Plus, where was a center and a safety in that draft

Chris, you really don't want Gino. Trust me. Too much going on outside the game that may not be correctable. Marvin doesn't want any local sideshows.
