More Draft Reviews
Over at Mocking the Draft, MattMiller is going through a team-by-team review of the draft. He goes through each draft pick and sees how they fit the team and all, which is to say, he goes a little deeper than a simple letter grade. Each one does have a poll question up for other commenters to...
No Ellis? Reported Trade Possibility Between Ravens and Saints
Consider that the Bengals draft ninth, taking 10 minutes between selections and the draft starting at 3 p.m., their first selection should happen around 4:30 p.m. It's likely, if he's there, that the Bengals will turn to Sedrick Ellis. Though there's reports that the Patriots are interested --...
If Ellis is gone, could the Bengals draft RB Rashard Mendenhall?
John Clayton writes in a Wednesday blog post: Mixing it up: Don't be surprised if the Bengals look at halfback Rashard Mendenhall if Sedrick Ellis goes in the first picks. Though running back isn't a need position for the Bengals, the return of Odell Thurman minimizes the need for a linebacker...
Moving up in the draft?
Not necessarily with the 1st pick, mind you, but the team has a proven willingness for trading up to get mid round picks they have targeted. For example: In 2004, the Redskins had targeted tight end Chris Cooley as a third-round talent. Problem: the Redskins didn't have a third-round...
If Ellis is available, would you still go after LB Keith Rivers?
A few notes that have impacts with the Bengals. But a quick note about the site. There have been serious hardware issues that the techies at SB Nation have been addressing the past two days. They claim that everything should be stabilized now. Let's move on. A fairly healthy percentage of mock...
Bengals should look at drafting several offensive linemen
Since I've done a great job at making this site seem like a broken record, I thought it would be best to continue that trend with draft talk. We've talked wide receiver, linebacker, wide receiver, cornerbacks, wide receiver, defensive line, running back and wide receiver since January. Let's take a...
Should the Bengals Address Running Back in Draft?
CincyJungle made an upgrade. Read this first to get acquired to the site (like obtaining your old usernames). In Geoff Hobson's latest, he makes the point that the Bengals are very likely going after a running back and (not "or", and) wide receiver in the top-three rounds after the possibly of...
To Draft, or Not to Draft, a Linebacker
CincyJungle made an upgrade. Read this first to get acquired to the site (like obtaining your old usernames). After David Pollack's reported "lean" towards retirement, I thought it would be good to reexamine the team's linebackers -- and NOT talk about that jerkoff that runs around with...
Renewed support for trading down in the draft
Once more, go read this. I advocate trading down in this draft. The #21 position looks less and less likely to yield a must-have type player and our needs are more quantity (depth) than quality (starter). The more picks the better when addressing an aging defensive and offensive line, linebacker...
