Bengals to host Central Michigan quarterback Dan LeFevour
The more we think about it, the more likely the Bengals could draft a quarterback in the late rounds of the 2010 NFL Draft. We're not saying that they will. Nor are we saying the chances are particularly high. That doesn't mean that the team won't pull the trigger if there's a quarterback they like late in the draft. Mike Brown admitted to as much, hoping to find a quarterback that can play behind Carson Palmer.
We already know that the Bengals will check out Holy Cross quarterback Dominic Randolph when the team hosts all of the local talent in the area that's preparing for the NFL Draft. Bengals quarterback coach Ken Zampese (not Bob Bratkowski as originally reported), checked out Oregon State quarterback Sean Canfield during his Pro Day. Zampese typically checks out most quarterbacks that are slated for late draft selections to see if the team can improve their backup and third-string quarterback, evne if the team doesn't pick a quarterback. So it might not be worth much.
And according to Scout.com, the Bengals will host Central Michigan quarterback Dan LeFevour in a private workout.
A four-year starter at Central Michigan, LeFevour distinguished himself as one of college football’s most exciting field generals and showcased the ability to beat a defense with his arm and legs. LeFevour finished his illustrious career with a 66.4 completion percentage while throwing for 12,905 yards, 102 touchdowns and 36 interceptions, not to mention his 2,948 rushing yards and 49 touchdowns.

Would be a great backup to Palmer
Dan LeFevour would be a great backup to Palmer. Nice insurance incase Palmer got injured or low performance. We would have to get him in the 3rd round though.

Well when do you take him?
I would say depending on how things go, it would be a good move to take him with the Compensation pick at the end of the 3rd round, or the 4th round pick. The only issue would be if he is not there at that point.
agreed
I wouldn’t take him before the 3rd, but anytime after the 2nd is fine, especially with the compensatory picks we gained.
Wouldn't take him before the 5th
We have plenty of other needs that can be addressed, and QB’s are slow to come off the board after the 1st round, on average only 6 were taken before the 5th round last decade. LeFevour is ranked from 4th-10th rated QB on the sites I checked, Canfield was 10th to 13th, and Dominic Randolph is not expected to be drafted. From the guys the Bengals appear to be kicking the tires on, I wouldn’t expect them to reach for a QB this year.
It would be a waste to pick Lefevour in the third when we could upgrade so many other positions so much more.
on the fence
Is it a terrible idea to pick up a QB early? I’m not sure it’s that bad of an idea. Since most of our positions of need are about adding depth, there’s no position on our team that needs more depth than QB position. If Palmer went down what chance would we honestly have with JT at the Helm? Or would you rather have Jordan Palmer? Pick your poison.
Anyways, all good dynasties have a backup QB waiting in the wings. That said, should we draft a QB in the third? Maybe not. But if the coaches are sold on this guy and think he’s better than JT, then it might be worth the pick.
This is our year!
He will be gone in the 2nd round. He will not be around by the time we pick at 54. Personally I don’t want a QB until the 5th or 6th.
Not Sure
Dont think he will be gone in the second, but definitely in the third. If he,s there in the third, TAKE HIM

I already don’t like the guy just because he played a bunch of crap teams in college.. I think he’s about like picking Jerome Simpson..
what if...
For the sake of discussion, tebow is there when we pick in the second? Does mike brown take him? Knowing that if Carson goes down this team, as good as we are everywhere else, cannot win a football game with our backups?

Depending on who is left on the board, I honestly think we would take him. I don’t have a reasoning for it beyond a gut feeling but I just can see it now
