Favorite Running Backs Bengals Could Draft


I realize  that is it very early to be talking about the draft, but I want to know your thoughts on who you would like to draft in 2012. Our Defense looks great! So good it's difficult to make room for some of the returning players.

Myself personally would like to see this done (click the prospects name to watch highlights):

1st Round: Trent Richardson, RB

(Steven Jackson'ish like back that can take over for Ced as the workhorse back of the future. Remember Ced only got a one year deal and is not getting any younger)

2nd Round: Lamichael James, RB

(I know most of you are scratching your head why 2 Rb's in the first two rounds. With Cincy's misuse of Bernard Scott this will allow them to deal him while gaining a better home run threat and pass catcher in the backfield. In my opinion Lamichael is a Chris Johnson'ish type back with pretty good catching ability out of the backfield. The combination of Trent and Lamichael would take a lot of pressure off of Dalton. Thunder & Lighting in the backfield. It would be nice to see Richardson as a Fullback for Lamichael in RedZone situations. This would drive defenses crazy the options would be limitless)

2nd Round: Chase Minnifield, CB/KR <Trade Carson Palmer for a 2nd to Miami Dolphins>

 

(This would be a great pick-up for or defensive scheme! Everyone is so high on Dre Kirkpatrick but Minnifields coverage is better in my opinion.)

3rd Round: Address O-Line with the best available prospect

(We need to protect Dalton)

 This scenario is highly unlikely but this is my dream draft. What is yours?
