Open Thread: First Round of The 2010 NFL Draft

PrintThe NFL draft is here, folks. Well, not quite, but it's only an hour away, so it's time for an open thread! The Bengals will be picking in as many as 270 minutes, more than 4 hours from now, but we can always hope that the first round is only as long as it was last year, when it lasted just over 200 minutes in total!
It's a 3-day event this year, and this is just the first of many Cincy Jungle draft-coverage threads. Here's what you can expect from us for the next few days:
- Open threads that don't lag! I'll be doing this personally, and if a thread ever gets too big, I'll be quick to make a new overflow thread. Ideally, we'll have a whole lot of these because there will be hundreds of you guys around to talk about the draft, cry when Dez Bryant gets picked early, or cheer when Earl Thomas miraculously falls to 21.
- Player introductions and information. Head honcho Josh Kirkendall will be writing this up after every pick, telling us what to expect, who the guy our favorite football team just drafted actually is, or giving some general interesting information about the player and his talents.
- Analysis. If we see more trades this year, we'll tell you why. If the Bengals move out of day one altogether (that would make for a boring night, besides the talk about the trade), hopefully we can tell you why. I mean, we're a blog, so we're a little freer to tell you what we think may be going on in the Cincinnati war room. I hear Kirkendall is an expert at reading between the lines.
Enjoy the draft, folks. I'll be here all weekend, and I look forward to your company.

I'm going to be annoyed too.
I have to go to a meeting and class tomorrow. I wonder if picks/players will be traded during the day.
Hopefully, the Commish urges teams to hurry up and NOT take all of the allotted time.
The draft can drag on way too long. And besides, I’m old and can’t stay up as late as I used too.

I was just told by an actual inside source that Jermaine Gresham has been placed number 1 overall on our draft board and he will be the selection of the Cincinnati Bengals at pick 21.

Huge waste of talent.
I hope your sources are misinformed. I don’t think Gresham should be top on the board. That reeks of need > BPA if Bryant or Thomas somehow fall. It also tells me the Bengals are sticking to traditional draft practices rather than showing a willingness to target players that will thrive in their system and enable a Super Bowl title. Gresham, as he will apparently be used, is not that player.

He must of been trying to play smoke screens with the whole “we are not drafting for needs” attitude up this point..
And the whole "TE may be addressed before the draft"
IF they just want a RZ threat, why not go for Gronkowski and move up in rd. 1 for a safety?
I hope Balitmore jumps us to get Jermaine..
That would make me laugh my tail off.. I’d like to see Mikey’s face if that went down<—- wishful thinking I know..

I don't really see that
They’ve got Jerome Harrison and Josh Cribbs. Way too many needs to waste a pick w/o filling one.
Third of the way there, BTW.

he was cleared by every doctor at the combine
thats not what I meant at all
the point is the Bengals already have a bunch of TE’s….lets see how they do and draft elsewhere. I am not concerned with Gresham’s injury
