2012 NFL Mock Draft: SB Nation Predicts Bengals Get Running Back, Cornerback
by Jason Garrison on Jan 17, 2012 2:00 PM EST

PrintThe 2011 NFL season isn't quite over yet but that doesn't mean that it's too early for a mock draft. In fact, I'd be willing to bet that you can find a mock draft for the 2014 season somewhere online. There are only four teams, the 49ers, Ravens, Giants and Patriots, who don't have set draft positions yet, but we do know that the Bengals are set with the No. 17 pick (from Oakland) and the No. 21 pick.
SB Nation's Ryan Van Bibber's latest mock draft has the Bengals filling two important roster holes in the first round.
With the No. 17 overall pick, Van Bibber predicts that the Bengals will select Alabama running back Trent Richardson.
Cedric Benson is a free agent. They could re-sign him, but they could draft a much better running back with Richardson. The Alabama product would come cheaper too.
First off, I would be somewhat surprised if Richardson fell to No. 17. However, if he did, I honestly believe that the Bengals would be better suited drafting an offensive lineman with their first pick in 2012, specifically a guard. Van Bibber had David DeCastro from Stanford going to the Cowboys with the 14th overall pick, but if he was available when the Bengals go on the board, I think they should take him instead.
After all, if the Bengals don't have a good offensive line, it won't matter who the running back is.
With the No. 21 pick, Van Bibber predicts that the Bengals will select Nebraska cornerback Alfonzo Dennard.
Watching Johnathan Joseph help turn the Texans' fortunes around had to be bittersweet for the Bengals who let him walk in free agency. They need help in the secondary. Pacman Jones is a free agent, and Dennard represents like a solid upgrade.
I like the pick of a cornerback in the first round. There is no question that the Bengals need an upgrade at cornerback. Nate Clements isn't terrible but he was just a stopgap after the team foolishly let Joseph walk away. Furthermore, there is no guarantee that Leon Hall will be 100 percent when the season starts and without a new cornerback, the team could find themselves in the same situation they were in late in the season.
The Bengals have a lot of holes to fill but they have the picks necessary to do so. It should be an exciting offseason.

None sense
With the No. 17 overall pick, Van Bibber predicts that the Bengals will select Alabama running back Trent Richardson.
Um .. Negative. We must address the offensive line first.
Then with the 2nd pic we can go running back…….
Do you know what a super man Ass Whooping is ?... Its the type of Ass Whooping you wish you could Fly away from !....
If he's there
we take him and get O-line with one of the next 2 picks

Or we've also already partly addressed O-Line in FA

If Richardson is there take him.
Unless DeCastro is available. I have seen Richardson available far more often than DeCastro. Then take Corner at 21, either Dennard or Gilmore, then address guard in the second.

Agree also.
Don’t pass on him if he is there. I don’t wanna live to regret it.
Very smart
Some on gets it.
Do you know what a super man Ass Whooping is ?... Its the type of Ass Whooping you wish you could Fly away from !....
O-line
Does not matter who we have in the back field with out have a smash mouth offensive line…. We all should no that by now.
We need a Blue chip – offensive linemen first … who can help the run game AND protect Dalton long enough to complete more throws down field and not have to run for his life.
Against our division foes … we absolutely need to a address this asap.
2nd: I feel (Richards…Wont be there. when we pic) . Lamar Miller, RB, Miami (Fla. ……
Has way more speed and the ability to take it to the house ….. That’s what we need in the back field .. after we address the offensive line.

Right.
No one can predict who is going to be there, but I think it’s valid to discuss if he is there, if we as fans would like to take him. I say yes. I have watched the guy play a lot, and he is not easy to bring down. We need that back who is gonna fight for more yards. Hey, maybe we could convert more 3rd and ones, lol. This is one of those players you don’t pass up if he is there, and it is a big IF.
Correct
You say moot.
I say mute.
Any questions ?

What you MEANT to say was moot. Saying mute is wrong, and pretending that mute is correct is just dumb… like I said below, I just love people like you who say something and then just because you said it, it is correct… without ANY reason other than its what YOU said.

Just the belittling attitude I was talking about… No one is questioning your fandom haha… does that have anything to do with anything here?
So then since you stand by your words, you are saying that, yes, you’ll come back and apologize for being a dick if the Bengals don’t take DeCastro and then RB with pick #21 like you said it WILL happen case closed?
Hu ?
I have no ideal what your talking about.
I’m being honest in my options and have done my due diligence with my out come of the first 2 pics in the first round…….
Look around buddy.

You’re attitude that what YOU say is right, and that what anyone else says otherwise is wrong CASE CLOSED as you put it… It’s hard to lie when we are on a forum and can go back and look at everything you just said word for word… I’m just wondering if you will come apologize for acting like a pompous dick if what you say will happen “case closed” doesn’t happen…

I like how you say
Richardson “Won’t be there so its a moot point” (yeah I fixed it for you)
but then continue on to say that we will take DeCastro with our first pick and take RB with #21… I’ve seen more mocks that have Richardson fall to us than DeCastro. Based on the mocks I’ve seen its a lot more likely that DeCastro will be gone than Richardson… And then say case closed like its all done… And then try to belittle people and say that you are just applying common sense and other people are basically just stupid… It’s just dumb… Just as much a chance that DeCastro isn’t there so what happens then if he’s gone? gonna come back and apologize?

Oline can easily be addressed in round 2
There is so many good interior Oline prospects that are projected for round 2. I think that’s the sweet spot, not round 1.

A guy like Richardson doesn’t come along very often. This draft is deep at G and CB. We can fill those with the next two picks. If Trent is off the board, I’d take Miller at 21.
by EarthwormJim on Jan 17, 2012 2:35 PM EST up reply actions
I did not like seeing that....
However, the are reports the Browns are thinking of trading down on the board. I don’t know if it would include the 22nd pick or not…
CB/S/G then RB
we got needs, if richardson falls to 17, gamble he’ll fall to 21.
"the bengals are not a west of the 104 longitude team."
Can’t argue with taking Richardson at 17. He’s a “Blue Chip” player at a need positions. Bengals should run to the podium with their card.
I sort of like Dennard. He’s #27 on my board, so this isn’t a reach. I just like Stephon Gilmore more. Think he would be a better fit also. Dennard is, at best, a #2 CB.

I was trying to find how Dennard and Gilmore compare to each other...but
somehow ended up on a Bills site….
he's the third ranked player on most big boards
if he’s there at 17 and we DON’T take him it would be a waste of a draft pick, you can always get Konz at 21, who I actually like better than DeCastro because of his versatility

Can't really argue with the positions they draft,
The Texans showed us what it takes to beat the Ravens and Squealors. Real good running game, real good line play on both sides and of course a shutdown corner somewhere. Don’t really need a good QB.
Drafting Richardson and a corner in round 1 is a big first step. Then with smart FA and drafting, the Bengals will have what they need to beat their division rivals.
I agree
Im hoping ravens win it all this year because I think Ray and Ed will retire. Plus a superbowl slump next year. and I think the Steelers are in some trouble because Ben is not going to last too much longer if he keeps getting hit like he has been the past couple of years… I think is our time to captilize in FA and the Draft to build on to a team that can dominate the AFC north for many years…
AMAS
A buddy of mine does some work for Ray in Fla.
He said he says if he wins it this year he will retire, otherwise he will come back for one more year
I hope he gets it this year, because I have a feeling he would play until his body cant take it any more
then we can sign him as our LB coach next year lol

i would rather
he play till he’s 90, he’s already hurting B-more, can you imagine how bad he’ll be in a year or two???

yeah
The cowboys have to feel that Romo is getting older and its time to refresh the franchise with some new life…Romo is just not getting it done….Hes kinda like Palmer.. Some good games and a lot of yards, but just cant do it in the big one….

I love all the people that are always saying "take BPA" all the time
and then they say they’d rather take Konz or Glenn with pick 17 than take Richardson because without a good oline it doesn’t matter who is running… Richardson is top 5 on most boards, he WILL be the BPA no matter what, AND he is a position that is our 2nd or 3rd biggest need. You HAVE to take him at 17 if he is there. If Kirkpatrick was still there at 17 you’d have to think about him instead, MAYBE think about DeCastro. But CB and Guard are deep in this draft. There are lots of 2nd round guards and CBs that barely have any dropoff from anyone that we could take with pick 17. It would be silly to pass on Richardson… especially if it’s to reach for someone like Glenn or Konz (even though I wouldn’t mind either if Richardson and DeCastro are gone).

took me a sec to realize
what the hell BPA was….lol…but in fact…the bengals have taken need in first round for many years..I’m with you on the O-line….This is a NEED…MY OPINION…at pick 17…we take the BPA at CB, OG/OT, RB….one of these three…maybe Barron…..
"In a battle between patience and power, patience always wins"

Agree to an extent
I’d take DeCastro ahead of him but not Konz or Glenn, mainly b/c I think with teams behind us we coud still get him with the 21rst pick if both him and DeCastro were available but we would have no shot of getting DeCastro with the 21rst pick.
Really like the picks
We’ve addressed RB and CB
2nd Round – Guard – Osemelle or someon like that
3rd round – Trumaine Johnson CB/S – can paly both safety or CB
Rest of the way down best palyer available (DL&WR)
That is pretty well thought out.
My hesitation would be with Tashard Choice, injury-proned since his days at Georgia Tech…also, guys like DeSean Jackson and Stevie Johnson have me a little worried, we do not want to go back to what we were…Ocho, TJ, TO….
Agreed... :)
As I said, it is very well thought out…

Could Kirkpatrick’s troubles push him to our 17th or 21st pick? Richardson and Kirkpatrick anyone?

this is tough
we just cleaned up our locker room…We have guys like Dunlap and Simpson that come in and buy into the system….why not…..talent is talent….I would put a lot into the interview at the combine or some type of personal read on this guy…Is he a humble kid that just gets in small-time trouble or is a thug???

lol
i just going off of what I know. And What I know, is most people who do it, dont admit it. And when they do it, its only with people that do it. Its kinda like a secret society/ black market. So the few who don’t do it, believe the hype about it and think its the worst thing in the world.
what ever “it” is.
AMAS
also
he was busted with a small personal amount… I know about 50 people that have gotten busted with small amounts…not that big of a deal…..not like Sam Hurd type sh____

take kirpatrick & jenkins with both 1st rd picks
Getting 2 of the most talented players in draft at where we are picking is a steal. Both can shut down any receiver in our division hands down. I might can argue that they’ll be better than the Hall/Joseph tandem. I wouldn’t address offense till later rounds.

Don't know about Jenkins
But if Kirkpatric falls taking 2 stud CB’s in the first may be intriuiging, you could still get a quality guard in the 2nd and pretty good RB in the 3rd.
why not?
Before his problems at Florida don’t forget he was hands down best CB in college. Kirpatrick wasn’t in same class him that’s how good Jenkins is. Don’t know if Jenkins can return but he is better cover corner than Peterson who went #5 last year.

I read an article talking about how Jenkins didn’t even play well in division 2 ball. I think we’ll pass.

whats well?
The guy is a playmaker, 3tds off returns for year. Even blocked a fg. Plays with great confidence and swagger. If Zimmer stays I don’t think his character issues a be a problem for us.

i'd love 2 stud cbs in the 1st round
move nate to ss, resign nelson at fs, draft a g in the 2nd, rb in the 3rd. resign collins as our rt, move smith to guard, bring back bobbie as depth. off we go into 2012
"the bengals are not a west of the 104 longitude team."
and we still a have money to play with
Clements moving to ss a be like getting 1st rd safety. We need to sign G/ DT or DE in free agency also. James in our offense a take us to another level also.

mike Adams?
maybe we could give him a go at guard or right tackle? he’d be another option for the line at 21 potentially.

Don't know much about Richardson except the title game.
Can he block?
Because any back in the Bengal’s scheme is going to have to be able to protect Dalton on passes against the Pitt/Balt blitz packages or he’ll never see the field.
Amazing blocker

Kids the total package
He can block, great speed for his size, and can catch out of the backfield. He reminds me of Michael Turner or Rice. If he pans out RB’s like him don’t hit FA. I’m all for a guard but if Richardson is there we have to take him cause the only way you get a back like this is through the draft or you luck into a UDFA.. Guards can be had all through the draft and FA.
