Open Thread: I don't know what round it is anymore, 2010 NFL Draft

in NFL Draft
Email
PrintWhere am I? Is it Tuesday? This draft has gone on forever. I'm not sure I'm a big fan of the new 3-day format. But I'll get over it. So far today, the Bengals have selected Texas linebacker Roddrick Muckelroy to fill the obligatory hard-to-spell-name spot on the team, and DT Geno Atkins from Georgia. Both guys can contribute on defense or special teams immediately. Atkins will be part of the defensive tackle rotation, and will be relied upon to split double teams or use his explosive first step to get by one-on-one matchups to pressure opposing passers from the middle of the line. He's a classic Zimmer pick, with a chip on his shoulder and the ability to apply pressure inside.
Muckelroy, I'd expect, will at first contribute on special teams and could be groomed to replace Dhani Jones as Rey Maualuga moves to ILB. He's got adequate speed for an OLB, and is a great run defender. He's graded by SI.com as a future starter, and I expect that he'll be able to contribute in limited playing time this year as a smart linebacker.
Muckelroy was justifiably one of the higher-rated outside linebackers coming into the 2009 season, but injuries necessitated his move to the middle, where he was out of position. He possesses the skills to start on a weak side for an NFL team in the near future as he develops his game.
There are some adequate safeties still on the board, but the Bengals only have 3 picks left to find the safety of the future we all want them to, a backup QB (Tony Pike is still available, Bearcats fans!), and some offensive line depth. This could be a very solid draft. So far, I've gone from a B+ to an A-, since the Bengals have picked guys that fit their scheme, their plans - they're drafting like they know what they want their team to be. It reminds me of a Patriots' draft. The other reason I like this draft so far is that all these guys are going to be able to contribute right away. There aren't any Jerome Simpsons or Chase Coffmans in this draft as far as I can tell. It could get better if the Bengals manage to find a safety in the 5th, and Lefevour somehow in the 6th.

Not a fan of the three-day format, eh?
I can see why. I do like that the draft is slightly more broken up. I remember last year I was worn OUT! At least we get another period to recharge. At least those are my arguments for it.

Yeah, they have a history of doing that.
But I don’t think the Bengals have sent anyone to closely scout him. From the teams that haven’t drafted a QB yet, I think the Bills have shown the most interest.
sucks for pike
reasonable chance he wont be drafted. and he deserves to be.

i think
there will be a run on QBs late in the draft. no one wants to risk the QB they want to groom making their own decision on which team to sign with. i think at least pike, lefever, brown, snead, and skelton go before the end.
RIP Slim.
Kinda surprising that only 4 QBs have been taken

"wherever Brad St. Louis is and Shayne Graham is about to be." -R.F. Mehl
And it was last year too
It feels like Lewis is getting more control of FO decisions which is awesome. I hope he can work even more of that into his next contract b/c that’s what it will take for us to remain competitive year in and year out.
i'm pretty sure that's why he hasn't signed yet
i just hope brown lets him have that power. it could be a future gm in the making.
RIP Slim.
Lewis as GM
and Zim as HC in a few years sounds outstanding to me
If only that were a possibility.
that would be a huge culture shock in PBS and might require a new owner. Plus, I think Marvin loves to coach.
My friend Sherrick McMannis was just picked by the Houston Texans!
My freshman year, in a pickup football game, I beat him on an out route.
ha! That doesn’t bode well for the Texans – that’s not a knock on you, I’m just sayin… :)

I don't think he was REALLY trying.
And he was a freshman. And it wasn’t contact, he was in my pocket and could have laid me out. I was 15 pounds lighter then.
That was also 8 sprained ankles ago when I was pretty good at football.
Well I hope he does well. I actually like the Texans when they’re not playing us. They remind me of the Bengals about 5-6 years ago.

He's got some flaws, but he has a knack for making the big play.
Not the best tackler. Can get burned. But I’m happy he got drafted. I saw him last weekend at one of the school’s nearby dives. Nice enough guy.

RIP Slim.
sounds solid. I haven’t gotten much time to look over his scouting report much.
This is our year!
by Paul Cannon on Apr 24, 2010 12:42 PM EDT up reply actions
Some stuff from ESPN
What he brings: Atkins has great initial quickness and plays stronger than his smaller frame would indicate. He also showed the flexibility to line up as a 3-technique or outside as a 5-technique defensive end in a three-man front. He will flash as a pass-rush, but his motor runs hot and cold, which could be the reason he dropped to Round 4.
How he fits: Atkins fits the Bengals defense in terms of quickness and ability to make plays in space. The club will have to sub defensive ends inside less on third downs with the addition of true defensive tackle with pass-rush skills. The club still needs to add more power in the middle, but this player does fit what Cincinnati does.
AND
What he brings: Muckelroy is limited as far as overall athleticism and range. Still, he is a smart, tough and instinctive football player. He does a good job of quickly diagnosing plays and putting himself into position. He will have problems holding up in coverage due to lack of agility and top-end speed.
How he fits: Dhani Jones is very steady, but is not the biggest and is not getting any younger. A strong, inside middle linebacker that plays the run with a physical presence, like Muckelroy, will have a chance to unseat Abdul Hodge and Dan Skuta, so they can focus on special teams.

I think you've got to go with a safety at this point.

a ton of teams actually do this. whether it’s to throw other teams off, etc.

Otis Hudson, a 6-foot-5 offensive lineman, who played 2006 and 2007 seasons at Minnesota, has landed at Eastern Illinois. Hudson, who redshirted the 2005 season, played in four games as a reserve defensive lineman in 2007 before moving to offensive line. Hudson appeared in five games in 2006.
Otis Hudson, who played at Barrington, Ill., High School, is one of three former Big Ten transfer joining Eastern Illinois.
D’ Angelo McCray is a 6-4, 333 lb., defensive tackle transfer from Illinois. He redshirted as a member of the Fighting Illini Rose Bowl team last season. McCray played at Andrew Jackson HS in Jacksonville, Fla., and was a second team All-American by USA Today. He was a five-star recruit, ranking as the fourth best defensive tackle nationally by Scout.com.
Austin Signor is a 6-4, 230 lb., kicker transferring from Iowa. He is a redshirt junior who handled a majority of the kickoffs for the Hawkeyes last season. Signor is 5-of-8 on career field goals and 13-of-15 on career PAT’s. He played at Urbandale High School in Iowa.

looks like a big fat reach
for a player they really liked who fits a need….
but you never know how many other teams liked the guy, like the safety from Ohio last year Michael Mitchell. It looked like Oakland reached massively but Chicago and two other teams were said to have wanted him… and he player really well last year in limited appearances
that said, still smells like a reach

Jason Campbell traded to the Raiders
Moves from the left armpit of the NFL to the right armpit of the NFL.
I want....
Safety in 6
QB in 7
RB as UDFA…maybe Blount?
Blount might be off the board in the 6th or 7th.
Id like to see the kid from USC that had the throat injury
A word on potential UDFA
If a guy is projected as an UDFA, and a team likes him, that team is better off drafting him so they don’t have to compete with 31 other teams after the draft.
thats what 7th round picks are for
not 5th..
"wherever Brad St. Louis is and Shayne Graham is about to be." -R.F. Mehl
True but do you draft a UDFA in the 5th
Especialy this year. All they have been saying is how deep this draft is. Makes me worried what we will do with our next picks. IF Hudson was highest on our board at this point who is left?
At this point, the public big boards are fairly worthless.
I mean, I would have liked to see a safety pick. But our board is gonna be vastly divergent from the Bengals’ now.
Hm..
joshkatzowitz
Paul Alexander called the Hudson selection a “What the heck pick.” In all, Bengals like his potential, even if he doesn’t have the polish.
Funny, that’s what I thought too. What the heck?
Hudson
Just big time unknown. This will have to be one of those wait and see things, you know? Maybe he dominates and the draftniks will be embarrassing because their job was incomplete.

Hope your right
I would have rather used a 5th or 6th on him. I guess we can stay positive. Hard after that. I really wanted one of those safeties. If they don’t move one of our CB’s or get one next pick I have a feeling it will come back and bite us
lol. You gotta like a guy who knows who he is. Like I said, I trust Alexander and if he likes this guy, I’m not going to argue.

Yeah, pretty much.
Maybe they decided that they like his skills and have the same line intact from last year and said “What the Hell” we like this kid so lets snag em
It's not just us....
What the heck is going on with Safeties in this draft?
Mays fell. Asante is still on the board when a lot of people projected him as a 2nd rounder. Jones still on the board when a lot of people projected him as a 3rd rounder. Rolle was a late 3rd-early 4th projection from what I read.
Hudson
Maybe we’re turning into J’ville.
At least we’re making our asinine reaches in round 5 and not round 1.
Yeah but, in round 5 – 7 you might as well pick up the players that you like. Most of these guys aren’t in the league too long anyway. I don’t know…I’m just trying to justify it in my own head.
This is our year!
Exactly.
At this point, it’s hit or miss anyway. Is it a reach? Yeah. Does it matter too much? Eh, we’ll see in round 6. And in 3 years.
Its hit or miss but....
Would he not still be there in round 6 or 7? And if not was he worth so much to make sure we got him??? IF you draft a player 2 rounds before projection you should be sure.
this isnt the 1st time we've reached.
2009 was a safe draft so you forget about some the other projects, 2008 is a great example, most sites gave the bengals a draft grade of C or D for 2008. 2007 had reaches as well. etc.

If we don't get a Safety this round
We had better have a plan on moving Trent or Ghee or its going to haunt us next year. Nelson is not a solid backup. If our plan was to improve depth you would have to thin this would be a spot they would look at hard.
Truth is
NO way did they really think they would be ther with our pick in the 6th. I can’t believe that was there thinking. They must have a plan for Safety already.
Mike's plan for saftey

He could be good.
But he could still be good as a CFA. Don’t like the pick. Gets an F from me.
But all the other ones are B+, A- or A, so this draft is still a B+
We criticize the Bengals for not packaging picks and moving up to ge the players they want instead of waiting for them to fall
Then they pick a player they obviously like and we yell at them for not waiting for him to fall to them. If they have a 5th round grade on him and like him then you take him there. Just because draft publications say he is a projected UDFA doesn’t mean another team didn’t like him too and it only takes one.
I guess I am compelled to agree.
I hope he works out, but I have a really hard time believing he wouldn’t have been there one round later.
You make good points though.
safety
Apparently they feel TOM NELSON is the answer at safety.
Why else do you reach for a guy who is no better than Luigs or Shirley, and will have to fight to win a spot on the practice squad.
maybe

and theres a list of washed out draft picks from marvins time here
irons, nickholson, mcneal, ghiasuck, perry are all great examples of a failed scouting department. mike holds the bag even if his coaches ask for these players, because mike doesn’t provide the scouting department to vet these mistakes off our draft board before they end up in stripes.
"wherever Brad St. Louis is and Shayne Graham is about to be." -R.F. Mehl
Irons is not a scouting failure. Neither is Perry.
Those guys are just victims of bad luck.
OK, Perry kind of is.
irons was let go
for a video posted on youtube of him being baked at newpot..newport levy with a bunch of friends.
that would be a failure to research a guys background.
"wherever Brad St. Louis is and Shayne Graham is about to be." -R.F. Mehl
Also, probably, because he was never gonna play good football again.
If he hadn’t been hurt in his first play, who knows..
you guys really want to claim that irons and perry
failures in the nfl mean are scouting department does its job well? i could look up the past drafts and sure that list of 5 guys i picked out of my head would become a minimum of 15 draft failures since marvin has been here.
"wherever Brad St. Louis is and Shayne Graham is about to be." -R.F. Mehl
Sometimes even the biggest scouting departments fail to project guys.
Or fail to find good fits for their systems.
Irons blew out his knee. What can you do?
Perry had one really nice season catching the ball out of the backfield and has been hurt ever since. What can you do?
Perry wasn't known for durability issues, IIRC
No. I don’t think either are scouting department failures either. Many are. These two, not so much.

&^&^%&^$^&^%(#(^(&%(^#$%^$#&^
Can't say we did't have plenty of chances
All I can say is they better have a plan for depth. I’m not talking about Tom Nelson.

we arent getting a safety of any value in this draft, everyone here needs to put down the crack pipes. no matter how hard we wish, its not going to happen.
^&&^*$%@$#^%!
"wherever Brad St. Louis is and Shayne Graham is about to be." -R.F. Mehl
We all need to remember, this isn't as bad as the Jerome Simpson pick
That was a blown second rounder, this pick can’t be a blown pick for 2 years
good point
were complaining about a 5th rounder.
at least we aren’t Jag’s fans after thier 1st round pick.
its bad value but...
a pass protecting G\T combo is a big need
but we already have a practice squad G/T with Luigs & Shirley.
i don’t think Hudson beats either of them out.
Luigs is backup C.
Straight up. When healthy, he’s the guy. He was the best C in college football 2 years ago!
NOT as bad but...
I was really loving our draft. In position to get good depth at safety at the end of round 5. Would have been a great draft.
Still wouldn't be as bad as Simpson
He has 1 reception for 2 yards in 2 years. that was a waste of 2nd round potential talent on the board and 2nd round money for a guy who sat on the sidelines for 2 years
simpson will be a star
in the cfl or arena league soon.
"wherever Brad St. Louis is and Shayne Graham is about to be." -R.F. Mehl
if it's any consolation
From past Marvin drafts, we know that in rounds 4, 5, 6 the Bengals typically miss more than hit. And Hudson clearly shows that.
But if it’s any consolation, we usually strike gold in round 7. (Fanene, TJ, etc…)
So sit tight for another WTF in round 6, and then see them make a sweet pick in roun d7.

Hudson grew up on the tough streets of Chicago’s west side where he quickly realized his own athletic ability by protecting himself from gangs. In the 5th grade, he used his strength and speed to avoid a confrontation with 15 gang members who ambushed him while walking home after winning a big basketball game. “I was walking home with a giant gold trophy and all of a sudden 15 teenagers ganged up on me. The gangs were always trying to recruit me because of my size. I had to fight or run every day to protect myself,” said Hudson.

George Selvie
Too bad we don’t need another DE, because I would love to get this guy.
I doubt we go Safety
I firmly believe we already have our S. We must or they wouldn’t have wasted the last pick. I have to believe Zim would have been jumping up and down on the table if he didn’t already have a plan for Safety
with our 5th round pick
its obvious someone took a crap on the table

ehhh solid...
TJ Ward in the 2nd wasn’t the greatest… and Laovaou in the 3rd wasn’t the greatest either
idea with ward
wasn’t best safety on board but was the safety that could start the quickest with talent above what the browns had. plugging their biggest hole with the best player available to start.

Rolle might go to Bears
When you need a ton of help at one position, might as well take a chance on two players…
NO WAY he is there when we pick
He won’t be there when we pick. If so I’m not sure we will take him. If they were going to draft S help I think they would have already. I really think they already have a Safety, Ghee Trent etc…

"wherever Brad St. Louis is and Shayne Graham is about to be." -R.F. Mehl
A tiny bit better
I feel a tiny bit better about the pick. Looks like Bobbies replacement in a couple of years. Not sure you couldn’t wait till the 6th or 7th to get him though.
Going to start him out at right guard.
Q: Do you see a learning curve in front of him such as Jason Shirley?
PA: "He is ahead of Jason in terms of his experience. Jason had never played offensive line. The parallel is that they are both guys who have more ability than they do polished technique at this time. We felt at this point in the draft, take a guy with ability rather than another lineman who might not be good enough. He visited here and we interviewed him. He is a quiet guy, a good person."
Q: It seems you like to draft players who can come in and you can mold to your system rather than taking players who are already a finished product for a given system:
PA: "I think we have always approached the draft that way. Not all draft picks work out, but when they do you have quite a buy. Otis has more athletic potential than many of the players drafted ahead of him. He has no background character flaws and we didn’t feel as if we were taking a risk. It is very important that when he arrives here he is comfortable and grows into the group. I look forward to the challenge of working with him because the kid does have talent."

Fights for the ball and can rip it out of receiver’s hands (See game-sealing interception in 2009 Indiana game). Appears to have long arms and can reach around receivers with left or right hand without committing pass interference. Doesn’t always time jumps well. Appears to play receiver first and ball second at times.

Here's the 411 on him
Has some experience lining up at safety and started for three different defensive coordinators. Godson of former USC safety and Chicago Bears safety Mark Carrier, his uncle Chuckie Miller played for the Indianapolis Colts and his father Alvin played football at New Mexico State.
Reliable open field tackler that wraps up on contact and flashes the ability to deliver the big hit. Takes too long to shed blocks at times but doesn’t shy away from contact. Takes the occasional poor pursuit angle but is relentless.
Plays with a swagger and doesn’t appear to dwell on mistakes. Reads quarterback’s eyes and not afraid to jump underneath routes. Gets head turned in time to locate the ball when forced to turn and run with receivers. Physical and takes away inside leverage but can be too physical and get called for defensive holding/pass interference. Can get caught peeking into the backfield and vulnerable to play action.

There’s a difference here. Hall is a rookie at his natural position. I’m not saying Morgan is bad, I’m not saying he can’t play ball. I’m saying that I’m not sure that I’d want Trent as the last line of defense. You’re talking about taking a player that’s never played the position, so you really don’t know how he’d perform/react.
If they want to try that, fine. But on what we know right now, I’m not sure I want Trent as the last line of defense.

Positives: Nice-sized, sure handed receiver who’s displayed the ability to take over games in the past. Strong, defeat jams at the line of scrimmage, and gets separation from opponents. Consistent hand catcher who extends to make the reception away from his frame. Gets up in a crowd and comes away with the difficult catch. Effectively uses his frame to shield away opponents and nicely adjusts to the errant throw. Displays good eye/hand coordination. Easily makes the reception in stride and very quick transitioning from making the reception to running after the catch.
Negatives: Displays minimal quickness in his game and really does not show a burst. Looked soft throughout the 2009 season and was not always extending or laying out for the difficult reception. Performed poorly at the combine.

I really like the M. Jones pickup in the offseason, but now I think it was a waste. Maybe there showing Antonio Bryant that you better show up or your going home. He needs some motivation, and so does Chad. I’m still rooting for Matt Jones. Put him on the outside, and he’s right at home next to a huge white line that goes all the way down the field.
I kinda like the idea of making all the WRs prove their worth.
jones has a chance to win a spot
its not a gift though. he has to earn it. or he’s gone before game 1. jones put himself in this position.

I hope so! Reading up on the guy, he sounds alright, but his measurables don’t bode well. Also had one of the worst verts at the combine. 33" according to ESPN
This is our year!
33 inches is not bad, especially at 6'2
did 34 at his Pro Day

mayocks analysis
</blockquoteMike Mayock, NFL Network
190 — Bengals — WR Dezmon Briscoe
The Bengals just drafted a very talented WR late in the sixth round. Briscoe ran poorly at the Combine, and had some off-the-field concerns too, as far as work ethic and consistency. However, he’s a big, physical receiver with good hands and worth a shot at this point.
My three favorite things in the world in no particular order: My wife, sex with my wife, and The Cincinnati Bengals
kinda sounds like TJ

Reedy
Briscoe said he has been following the #bengals closely the past couple seasons. Describes himself as a possession receiver who can get YAC

Bengals finally went for a different type of receiver this draft
Shipley and Briscoe both are not the typical Receivers bengals pick. This is a good thing, see Jerome Simpson.
Anybody got the Bengals next pick

Caldwell
I think we have more WR then any other NFL roster now.. WTF
It’s called not shutting down the season after only seven games, son.

He needs to step up in a big way.
He shows flashes, but then he completely disappears. More of the latter than the former.

Seems like the Bengals decided they needed red zone/3rd down help and pass rush this offseason
and they went after it
Heck yea

So that leaves us....
Ochocinco, Antonio Bryant, Jordan Shipley and Matt Jones, Quan Cosby, Andre Caldwell,Chris Baker and Jerome Simpson all fighting for positions
RE
Well, you can take Ocho and Antonio Bryant off that list and add Purify, Chris Davis and Freddie Brown.

The first 3
I assume would make it. That left the and """"" fighting for positions. Figured Davis Purify and Brown are probably gone now
#3 - #6 WR spots are up for grabs for sure.
We’ll get the best of the bunch. I like that

ocho, bryant caldwell
have jobs. shipley & briscoe get spots on the active.
every other wr will be fighting for 1-2 spots.
"wherever Brad St. Louis is and Shayne Graham is about to be." -R.F. Mehl
Marvin loves competition
no one is guaranteed anything unless they got a big contract… so only Bryant and OCho
Shipley
Shipley will make the team. Unless an injury he’ll mak the roster, but he’ll atleast make the practice squad.
brown cosby davis jones purify simpson
are the main guys fighting for a single spot. two spots if we decide to carry 7 active wrs and trim a spot from another position.
any of those 6 have practice squad time left? don’t think they do.
"wherever Brad St. Louis is and Shayne Graham is about to be." -R.F. Mehl
one hell of a competition

Thornton
Yes I like the picks. Most will make team and play. WR depth chart will change. DL got better, big time TE. Vets getting pushed out.

I think Shipley is going to be a huge contributor
I think he is exactly what we need for our slot receiver
RE
I love the double TE formation possibilities with Chase and Gresham.

Love it
I love it to play ‘no huddle’. Keep the d from making subs. We can throw or run it down your throat out of that set. If Brat see’s the possibilities Lets only hope
It will be a shame if we don’t go back to being #1 in red zone scoring percentage

until coffman shows up for a play or a series or anything in the nfl
it might be a little early to think of him as a contributor. coffman remains one big question mark, great hands in college, and taken by a team that loves to pass. and nothing his rookie season.
hopefully he shows up for this season, for now its an incomplete. not a bust. just an unknown.
"wherever Brad St. Louis is and Shayne Graham is about to be." -R.F. Mehl
Its only his blocking
Jordan Palmer said he has amazing hands…. Coffman will be just fine in a Slot type role
yeah so we hear so we hear
like blocking is the only thing keeping a talented pair of hands off the field. seattle had no problem getting steve largent on the field with limited speed and iffy blocking. he had great hands. sometimes that all it takes.
theres more of an issue than just blocking with coffman. suspect he’s struggling to make heads or tails of the offensive playbook. and that keeps him off the field. dumb and having great hands could get you parked on the bench…
"wherever Brad St. Louis is and Shayne Graham is about to be." -R.F. Mehl
"learning how to play inline instead of in the slot"
“suspect he’s struggling to make heads or tails of the offensive playbook.”
think we’re agreeing on something here.
"wherever Brad St. Louis is and Shayne Graham is about to be." -R.F. Mehl
its making me nutz the bengals arent after rolle
our depth at safety is suspect, our starters getting old. and we sit. perhaps if rolle can get arrested before the end of the draft today..
"wherever Brad St. Louis is and Shayne Graham is about to be." -R.F. Mehl
he runs like a average LB does... but he's a safety
How can you not see a problem
Tweet of the day.
Made me laugh
YouTube Dezmon Briscoe and you’ll see why the #Bengals took him in the 6th. Google him and you’ll see why he was there.

Dorin Dickerson
I’m surprised no one has took him. He runs like a Receiver. I don’t see why someone won’t take him as a Reciever. I can’t see us doing it now but….. Hard worker. Somone gets a steal in the 7th
Man he's 230lbs
no NFL offense likes a 230lb guy that isn’t a WR or TE
Goodnight All
Enjoyed you guys all 3 days and appreciate good Bengal Fans & SB was over the top…Thanks Again..Primal
glad he got drafted
pike could have an outside chance in carolina to see playing time during the season with an injury or someone struggling.
