PrintWith the 54th pick of the 2010 NFL Draft, the Cincinnati Bengals select Florida defensive end Carlos Dunlap. The Bengals have questions heading into the 2010 NFL season with Antwan Odom coming off a serious injury and Robert Geathers' continued performance degradation as a pass rusher. Although Jonathan Fanene did yeoman work in place of Odom, the Cincinnati Bengals finished the season ranked 16th with 34 sacks. Average. The Bengals struggled finishing the season with only nine sacks in the final seven games, losing four games during that span. In only five games did the defense record more than two quarterbacks sacks.
Also consider that the Bengals will be facing some of the league's best passing offenses, having a quality pass rush is somewhat of a necessity. Along with some immediate help, Dunlap joining forces with Michael Johnson creates an exciting youth movement at the position with two pass rushers that could cause major headaches.

info from tweeter
Zimmer said people at UF and investigations they did consider Dunlap’s DUI a one-time shot #bengals

Dunlap will start out at LDE but could eventually become a DT on third downs. #bengals #nfldraft

Dunlap is at 280, #Bengals think he can play at 300-305
third round picks?
we have to get a db of some sort right?

Zimmer: ‘we need a better pass rush and hopefully we can get him worked into the pass rush situations’
Ozzie Newsome is spinnin a gem of a draft.
What else is new.

Imagine Terrence Cody and Haloti Ngata in the game at same time. That’s 699 pounds (354, 345 respectively) of defensive tackle... with Kindle, the ILB of the future behind them
Kindle may never end up playing, given his knees
and with giants in the middle, Bernard Scott left, Bernard Scott right…
