Bengals look to upgrade at TE; Browns seek pass rusher

[turningpoint]

If we packaged, James and washington together we'd be lucky to get the 49er's 3rd round pick.

Jmaes is done after 1 more year and will be troy vincent type guy in 2 years IMO.

And washington could be considered a bust, but is still worthy of playing in the nfl,but he wouldn;t cut it on most teams as the #2 guy...the 49er's mught just be desperate for another qaulity WR to play opposite of LLoyd.

the 49ers pick i think 70th, or 71st overall in the 3rd round, I'd take that trade.

would bring in one of the 2nd round sliders.

despite my love for tory james.

I can't see the Bengals getting better than a 4th rounder for K-Dub in a trade and that would have to take place about 2 weeks before the draft when the RFA deadline is over. Not many RFAs get plucked from teams -- I think there's been 2 in the past 2 years -- and both of those were undrafted so the team giving them up got no draft pick for them. A team burning a 3rd for K-Dub is highly unlikely, but remotely possible.

I would characterize it as more than remotely possible or highly unlikely. If you're looking for wideouts, this year's draft frankly sucks. Someone will likely worm their way into the first by draft day, but arguably there isn't a wideout worth a first round pick. There are maybe a half-dozen worth a second rounder. IMHO Kwash is at least equal to and probably better than anything that could be had at WR in the third this year.

I would put the odds of Kwash getting an offer in RFA at about 50/50.

Maybe there will be some teams who will think K-Dub is worth a 3rd and even a high 3rd if it's a team slotted up there. The attrition factor could compel a handful of teams to seek his services more than otherwise in a year where there's not better talent at WR than him available in the draft from the 3rd round on and not a whole lot there in rounds 1 and 2 either.

So I would agree that K-Dub is equal to the WRs who will be available in the 3rd. But I think the Bengals would find a player with that extra pick in the 3rd who would contribute more overall to the team's success than K-Dub would, even with the Dopey turn of events. If I had to name some, I would say Will Blackmon if his aparent slide continues through the combine or maybe either TE Joe Klopfenstein or Dominique Byrd if for some reason either should wind up lasting til then or even the mini-Dallas Calrk of this year's draft Garrett Mills.

If we take a TE with the first round pick I might just choke somebody.

Is it looking less likely that Greg Blue will go at the end of R2?

we need a TE now more then ever with the loss of henry

[Whur CHad At?]

Henry isn't "lost" yet...and he wont be, trust me.

But yes we do need a TE more than ever

I hope he will be back but he'll be gone atleast part of the season...

[Whur CHad At?]

He will get the 4 game suspension due to Drug policy, and will get whatver the league or team does about the recent events. He will be back, I dont see us letting go to him so quickly.
