The NFL Scouting Combine is now officially over, teams will start digging deeper into the film and begin targeting certain players that could fit their style. We know the Bengals team needs heading into 2011, and I know the draft prospects very well. I feel like I have a pretty good idea of the type of players that would fit the Bengals situation and where they could be selected. So I decided to create what I feel the Cincinnati Bengals big board would look like today.
Please note: Every team's big board is different from the next. This isn't a mock draft. This isn't even where they would expect players to be selected. A big board is used to rank players. Some teams only rank 100-150 players out of a total 250 potential picks. For Example: The Cowboys only listed 23 players as first round picks on their board last year. You usually only rank players you like, and players that would fit your team and scheme. Teams use their board to say, Hey, this guy is ranked number 12 overall on our big board and he's still available in the 2nd round. Let's draft him or trade up to draft him. Much like Rey Maualuga in 2008. The Bengals didnt expect him to be there, so it made the pick relatively easy. For Example: If AJ Green and Patrick Petersonare gone... if the Bengals take the best player on their board. It would be Cam Newton.
