WRAPradio Posted March 7, 2008 Report Share Posted March 7, 2008 I'm just thinking out loud. I know this would probably NEVER happen, but let's say Dorsey and Ellis are both there at #9. Would you consider trading next years #1 & #3 & #4 (if that's what it takes) and draft both DTs? We've seen teams in the recent past trade their future number one pick to get a player they believe will help them win now, just wondering if you think the Bengals would be that aggressive and if you were in charge, would you do it?

Bengals1181 Posted March 7, 2008 Report Share Posted March 7, 2008 nah, you take Ellis and be thankful that you didn't have to take a risk on Dosery's injury concerns. There are plenty of needs on this team, you can't just screw yourselves next year to get 2 DT's when you have a capable starter in Peko. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Remember the Edwards-Whitley draft where the Bengals took 2 DTs as high first round picks? It worked out ok but I'm dubious of trying it again.

Palmer4HOF Posted March 7, 2008 Report Share Posted March 7, 2008 Nah ... I'd draft Dorsey, and then trade our 4th and 5th rounders to the Jets for Robertson... oh wait... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Captain Awesome Posted March 7, 2008 Report Share Posted March 7, 2008 I would do it in a heart beat. Look what drafting twice in the first round did for the browns last year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jamie_B Posted March 7, 2008 Report Share Posted March 7, 2008 No. If they are both there you base it on Dorsey's health and if it is a concern. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No one expected Anderson to have that kind of a year. Was it a fluke, I hope so. But what DT on our team could come out of no where to have a pro bowl year? Peko? Thornton? Titis Adams? Michael Myers? Maybe one of them can, but I just don't see it. With the bust rate among DT taken early in the draft, I just hope we pick the right one (if he falls or we trade up). Maybe we should see what Harrison Ford is doing during the draft..........
