Open Thread: 2010 NFL Draft Round Two

Jermaine_gresham_tiny by jsl413 on in NFL Draft

As you are well aware at this point, the Bengals selected Oklahoma Sooner tight end Jermaine Gresham with the 21st pick last night. Some of you would have rather seen the Bengals move up for FS Earl Thomas, who went 14th overall to the Seattle Seahawks. Others wanted the Bengals to draft WR Dez Bryant, who was picked by the Cowboys just ahead of the Ravens at 24th overall. Ozzie Newsome did as Ozzie Newsome does and found an over-eager suitor for th 25th overall pick, moving out of the first round altogether. 

So who's still on the board for the Bengals? Joe Reedy has a great list:

S Taylor Mays (Southern Cal): The second round is a good spot for him, but the odds are long that he will be gone by the time the Bengals go on the clock. The big question is what is his best fit — as an in the box safety who excels in run coverage or a center-field type defender.

S Nate Allen (South Florida): Coach Marvin Lewis was at his pro day. He is a solid defender with good coverage skills, instincts in coverage and good closing speed. Some think though he is not an intimidating-type safety.

S Morgan Burnett (Georgia Tech): Good ball skills in coverage and also effective when closing in and playing run support.

S Major Wright (Florida): Rugged defender with good speed. The concerns are that he is shaky in coverage and is inconsistent as a tackler.

DE Carlos Dunap (Florida): First-round talent, third-round player. Great physical ability but lacks consistency.

DT Brian Price (UCLA): Very good run stopper. Explosive off the ball who can close the pocket and pressure the passer.

DT Terrence Cody (Alabama): Can be a run stopping machine in a 4-3 set. Definitely can clog space and bring double teams.

OG Zane Beadles (Utah): Very good in pass blocking and also has the versatility to play some tackle.

OG Jon Asamoah (Illinois): Good leverage and can also excel in pass protection.

WR Mardy Gilyard (Cincinnati): We all know he wants to be drafted here and can also upgrade the return game.

WR Taylor Price (Ohio): Very underrated and excels at making the tough catches down the middle.

WR Golden Tate (Notre Dame): Good at playing the ball in the air but concerns about the lack of separation skills.

WR Arrelious Benn (Illinois): Good route runner and can explode off the line.

One name that didn't make this list that has been linked to the Bengals is Florida LB Brandon Spikes. 

Picks in the 2nd round are limited to 7 minutes per pick. The round starts at 6:00 ET tonight. The third round will also occur tonight with a time allotment of 5 minutes per pick. The Bengals remaining picks? 22 in the 2nd (54 overall), 21 in the 3rd (84 overall), and 33 in the 3rd, (compensatory, 96 overall). Remaining positions that we might expect the Bengals to draft today are OG, WR, Safety, or DT. Reedy's list does a great job at highlighting some guys that might make good picks for Cincinnati.

Also of note tonight, Jermaine Gresham is expected to have a press conference sometime around 5:30 with local press in Cincinnati. Yesterday after he was picked, when asked of his celebratory plans, he simply commented that he was going to bed with a flight to catch in the morning. Interestingly (or not), this is the second straight year that the second consecutive year in which the Bengals have selected according to a majority of mocks (A. Smith, Gresham) predictions. The 2nd and 3rd rounds could have their own story to tell - stay tuned!

I just don’t like that he played for Utah not a lot of big time player’s coming out of there..

by JamesShively on Apr 23, 2010 5:12 PM EDT reply actions  

That's a good point.

But OL talent doesn’t frequently come from top teams. Beadles is a good pass blocking guard, unlike the guys we have now that are primarily run blockers. I wouldn’t mind seeing him next to Whit.

I think Buluga or howver you spell his name

would have been a good pickup instead of Gresham .. Either way I’m happy

by JamesShively on Apr 23, 2010 5:17 PM EDT reply actions  

The Bengals have spent a lot of picks on OL lately

And they will again in this draft. But they have the following:

Whit – Mathis – Cook – Williams – Smith
Backup T: Collins (7 starts, 14 games last year), Roland (12 starts, 16 games); G: Livings (9 GS, 14G), Jason Shirly
C: Luigs (3rd rd last year)

Obviously, Whit can slide in if Collins or Roland need to start. I don’t see much utility in carrying 5 tackles.

I would just like to see Carson have Bree’s and Manning type of time in the pocket that’s all.. I’m tired of him getting this little nagging or even season ending injuries year in year out..

by JamesShively on Apr 23, 2010 5:25 PM EDT up reply actions  

I can't disagree.

I’m just not sure if that would be the best pick in the first round. Bulaga could be a good tackle, but Gresham is, I think, going to be an important piece of the offensive puzzle this y.ear

by jsl413 on Apr 23, 2010 5:28 PM EDT up reply actions  

One thing that can be said

is we had WAY to many penalties on the o-line last year.. That has got to stop.. We will never win the playoff’s if we are playing like the local biddy league team with penalties..

Jamar Wall

If Mays (let’s get him), Allen, or Burnett are not available, what do you think about Jamar Wall in the 3rd or 4th? Could possibly be a Safety, but definitely a physical presence in the secondary. Mike Zimmer personally visited Texas Tech to apparently check him out: http://www.cincyjungle.com/2010/3/13/1371724/defensive-coordinator-mike-zimmer#comments Check out these hits: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ayvExJ2Tn1c and http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WtnTZK_mLWc

by justRick on Apr 23, 2010 5:31 PM EDT reply actions  

I guess the consensus is a safety

Which I agree with, but it needs to be more of coverage guy, so Mays being gone might not be that big a deal. Burnett is ahead of Mays on some draft boards. Lets keep our fingers crossed.

Scouts Inc on Morgan Burnett
Fills hard and has a lot of tackles to his credit but he’s way overrated in run support. He doesn’t show power at the point of attack. He takes way too many poor pursuit angles. Winds up taking himself out of plays or making lunging attempts at arm tackles, as a result. Not big enough to consistently match up inside the box in the NFL and struggles with consistency as a tackler when filling from the high point.

Scouts Inc on Major Wright
Can take too long to shed block once engaged and not an ideal in-the box safety but excellent last line of defense. Takes sound pursuit angles and excels at slipping blocks in space. Sound form tackler who shows above-average body control in space and wraps up. Can bring bigger backs to the ground.

More on Major Wright
Generally stays low in backpedal and smooth transitioning out of it. Closes quickly when receivers catch the ball in front of him. Can cover a deep half of the field and play a centerfielder type role. Explosive hitter who flashes the ability to deliver the big hit both in run support and in coverage. Adequate recovery speed.

Get screwed, greedy agent.

Agent Gary Wichard thought he had two sure-fire first-rounders in Clausen and Mays. Make those second-rounders.

Dunlap the “best available”

According to Sports Illustrated, University of Florida defensive end Carlos Dunlap is the best remaining undrafted player heading into round two of the NFL draft on Friday night.
Our View: Dunlap’s stock has fallen precipitously after he was arrested for drunken driving last December, but he has been one of college football’s best players the past few seasons. Whichever team looks beyond his “character issues” will likely be getting a player that can make an impact from Week 1 forward.

From Wikipedia

On December 1, 2009, Dunlap was arrested on drunken driving charges.3 On January 29, 2010, he pleaded guilty to the charge and was sentenced to one year probation and fines of about $1,000, along with community service.4

Whats bad is??

Kit Andrews said it on TV today… Most people don’t know Gresham and just wanted to know if he ever got in trouble off field

by Jaydolla on Apr 23, 2010 7:46 PM EDT reply actions  

Carlos Dunlap !

real fine pick at this spot

Lewis will get the most out of his immense talent

He’s always open. He catches a lot of balls. He’s un-guardable, no matter how old he is

by WarWolf on Apr 23, 2010 7:46 PM EDT reply actions  

"When you look at him, you think he should be a top 10 pick"

Blocked 4 kicks.

If they turn him onto effort, BOOM.

Carson ecstatic with Gresham pick.

Dunlap

So, with Dunlap known to take plays off and Michael Johnson who can only motor every other down, will they just go Johnson-Dunlap-Johnson on that side?

by FordhamRam on Apr 23, 2010 7:50 PM EDT reply actions  

I dony buy that crap, they take plays off

HE wont be taking any plays off in the Nati, Zim will see to that

says "boom or bust guy" about Dunlap

and whenever the Bengals take one of those he’s a bust.

by occams_tiger_teeth on Apr 23, 2010 7:52 PM EDT reply actions  

per NFL.com

Dunlap is a big body that could fit as an end in 4-3 or 3-4 defensive schemes. He is a better run stopper than pass rusher but has flashed ability to be effective collapsing the pocket coming off the edge.

by IgnatiusJReilly on Apr 23, 2010 7:55 PM EDT reply actions  

Well.

I’m always open to getting pass-rush, and I honestly know nothing about Dunlap. I hope he can generate some for us.

gotta be mccoy for the brownies. no other reason for them to trade up

by Alexneyer on Apr 23, 2010 8:08 PM EDT reply actions  

wow

i was waaay off there, why do the brownies need a RB? holmgren is a damn idiot…

by Alexneyer on Apr 23, 2010 8:10 PM EDT up reply actions  

As an aside . . .

I’m kind of surprised at the Seahawks’ draft so far. I would have assumed that Pete Carroll was the type of coach that would go Steve Spurrier and waste all his draft picks on USC players.
