Draft Picks

So who do you guys think will make a impact on the team this year that the bengals got in the draft? To be honest I was not really high on the bengals first round draft pick (Keith Rivers) when they took him, I thought they should have traded to get Ellis but the more I look at it I think it was a solid pick. From what they say this guy is a very clean, hard working football player which the bengals need as we know. I don't know if this guy will ever make the Pro Bowl but it sounds like he could be a solid starter that will give you good production, which the bengals need bad on defense. I still don't know about the bengals 2nd round pick (Jerome Simpson.) The bengals need a Wr with henry gone, but every wr was on the board and they took a guy that didnt even play D-1? I mean they could have got  Limas Sweed,  Mario Maningham,  Malcolm Kelly but they went with somebody that played D-2 lol. But this guy looks very athletic, he can make really nice catches and they he's not afraid to take a hit. I think the 4th round pick was a really good pick in Andre Caldwell. He was projected to go in the late 2nd round, early 3rd round and we got him in the 4th. I know his stats is not the greatest but you have to look past that, he a really good blocker, he is a playmaker, he can strict anytime and anywhere on the field. I hope that either Andre Caldwell or Jerom Simpson can be that 3rd wide out. I think the bengals made a real good signing with Ben Utecht, he is one of the best cathing te in the league.  This is a make or break year for the bengals.

My impact rookies...

Rivers, Shirley and Sims.

I don’t think Simpson, Caldwell, Sherry, Craig, Urrutia, Collins, or Lynch will have their opportunities to make an impact. But injuries always opens doors.

And it would seem that Marcus Maxwell will be one of the team’s biggest impact offensive players that didn’t play much before (aka, not really a rookie, but not enough playing time to accrue a year).
