Where do we pick?

Can someone explain the cycling after the first round?

What do you mean by cycling? Sometimes the order of the next rounds don't match the first because of trades and compensatory picks if that is what you are asking.

Something like that. Something was mentioned about the order "cycling". I'm not quite sure. Maybe they were referring to the change in order due to things you were talking about.

I might be way off here, but it sounds like they were referring to the procedure followed in most fantasy football drafts. The first drafter cycles to last in the 2nd round while the last cycles to first and so on...

THERE IS "CYCLING" among those tied for the same record!

For example there are five teams tied with 4-12 record. In Rd 1 the order (without trades) would be

3.Tenn, 4. NY Jets, 5. Green Bay, 6. Oakland, and then 7. San Sran.

In Rd 2. the order (without trades) will be:

35. NY Jets, 36. Green Bay, 37. Oakland, 38. San Fran and then 39. Tenn

What that means to the us, is that the Bengals will draft 24 then 55th ( because they will move up one position, since they are tied with Tampa Bay who will pick ahead of the Bengals in Round 1.

Thank you Pappaw, that's what I'm talking about.

I don't think that is accurate, if it is it only applies to teams with the same record AND SOS. (9ers and Oak, see pick 6 and 7 decided by coin flip.)

do you have a reference link to draft rules?

No -- just experience of 20+ years of following the draft for the Bengals :D:sure:

Hope you lay some insight into picks on us this year like last year, Pap. Let us know what you're seeing on tape, eh? B)

Draft sequence is based upon team records and strength-of-schedule. In slotting teams with the same record, the team whose opponents had the weakest schedule picks ahead of the team whose opponents had the next weakest schedule and so forth for that group. In the event of ties (teams with the same record and the same strength-of-schedule), the first applicable tiebreaker (head-to-head, divisional record, or conference record) will be employed, with the tiebreak loser getting the higher selection in Round One. If there are no applicable tiebreakers (as would be the case with teams from opposite conferences that did not face each other), ties will be broken by coin toss.

The Super Bowl winner and loser will draft thirty-second and thirty-first respectively. Other playoff teams, as they drop out, move to the end of their group regardless of the strength-of-schedule. If teams with the same record drop out in the same playoff week they are positioned at the end of the group and strength-of-schedule will determine their sequence. Teams coming back into their group in different playoff weeks are placed in the group with the team(s) that advanced further being placed behind the team(s) that dropped in earlier.

Once the first round sequence has been established, in subsequent rounds teams rotate within their won-loss grouping with the team that picked earliest in the previous round moving to the last position of the group while others move up.

Bengals are in the 11-5 "group" with Tampa, NYG, Carolina, Chicago & Pitt. We will pick at 24 in round 1, have the 23rd pick in round 2, then cycle down to the 28th pick in round 3. We will then have the 27th, 26th, 25th, and 24th picks in rounds 4-7.

It's hard to not be a buckeye's homer in the draft... but Bengals.com is giving a lot of love to Donte Whitner as a SS available when we pick in the 1st round.

3.Donte Whitner, SS, Ohio State, 5-11, 205: A good run player, some think he might be able to play a little corner a la Madieu Williams.

A run stopping SS that could play a little corner? This means he is the whole package! ANd he doesn't have the injury issues that Bing has had... (Bng being the player we've all been talking about at safety for the least couple months). I think I'd feel more comfortable with Whitner than Blue... since he is an in the box safety. Just good conversation though at this point.

I know that LB is not an immediate need and our greatest need is at SS & DT, but how do you pass up a guy like Bobby Carpenter, if he is still on the board? The guy just makes plays. I guarantee you, New England could find a spot for this guy.

As a pass rushing linebacker, we should already be set with Pollack. Carpenter will likely be a very good player, but his contributions may be limited at his position. I think he'd be a better fit in the 3-4. If he falls to us in the second round, however, I'd love to pick him up.

Let's take a look at the checklist:

Size: Check

Strength: Check

Ability to Take on blocks: Check

Blitzing ability: Check

Good Tackler: Check

Straight line speed: Nope

Sideline-to-sideline speed: No

Agility: Nope

Carpenter is not what Lewis is looking for. Big and strong: yes. A great football player: yes. Will he be a GREAT addition for another team? yes. But he is just not what the Bengals are looking for.

I'll do my best -- based on my review of the games so far there are some interesting possiblities at Safety this year. :sure:

As we get closer to the draft -- I get more involved in the discussions. :cheers:
