Shazor and Brimmer are too slow to play for the Bengals. Get over them, folks. I know you like them, but their lack of speed will hurt them more in NFL than it did in college.

Probable targets round 5

S J Butler

LB R McCune

LB A Seward

S G Sensabaugh

DE J Haye

DT D Mosley

TE A Bergen

C B Wilkerson (yes, they took a C in 4, can take Wilkerson and play one at G, one at C)

Most of these guys except Bergen were projected to rounds 2-3

And TJ, they made a good point about people like you(guys who judge players on the 40 times) that if you do that your not judging them right. You have to judge them about their ability to play the game. SOmetime you can have the fasest guy, but they can be the worst players in the world. Shazor and Hawthorne can play. Shazor led his team in tackles. He is a pretty dang on good player. He is being compared to Brian Dawkins.

...ah, so his 4.4 speed and excellent tackling ability explain his free fall to round 5 and possibly beyond.

...and the fact that most people now have him listed as a LB rather than a S

tell me more, tell me more.

Oh, and just so you know, safeties occasionally - every now and then during the course of a game - have to run. The faster they run, the quicker they can get from where they are to where the guy with the ball is. See, all the tackling ability in the world is of no avail if you can't get to where the ball carrier is.

OH, as an aside: had he actually run a 4.4, he'd have been gone no later than round 3. I know you've seen it in print some place, heck, may even have been at the nfl.com site and thereby is as official as it gets, but had he really and truly run that that, he'd already have been drafted.

Another note on Wilkerson, if we were to take him, there's a possibility that we have to draft two interior linemen in hopes that at least one pans out. That said, I don't see it happening. ML wants guys who are healthy, and I am not convinced Wilkerson is.

A lot of the guys you named are nice targets though, particularly Sensabaugh. I could see Brandon Browner getting drafted by us also.
