[size=6][u]First Round[/u][/size]
1. [img]http://www.pinatas.com/images/images_4/jets-logo.gif[/img](from[img]http://www.pinatas.com/images/images_4/texans-logo.gif[/img]) – RB Reggie Bush, USC: The Jets offense is in desperate need of a playmaker. Bush is one of the most explosive players in recent memory, and will immediately help bring fear into the heart of opposing defenses.

2.[img]http://www.pinatas.com/images/images_4/saints-logo.gif[/img]– QB Matt Leinart, USC: A rebuilding city, a rebuilding team. Leinart is the most decorated quarterbacks in college history, and will likely start right away. The Saints already have great talent on their offense, Horn, Stallworth, Deuce, and a right tackle to block Leinart’s blind side.

3.[img]http://www.pinatas.com/images/images_4/cardinals-logo.gif[/img](from[img]http://www.pinatas.com/images/images_4/titans-logo.gif[/img]) – QB Vince Young, Texas: Young has all the potential in the world at the quarterback position. With great receivers already on the team, Young could be the leader of one the best offenses in the league three years from now.

4.[img]http://www.pinatas.com/images/images_4/texans-logo.gif[/img](from[img]http://www.pinatas.com/images/images_4/jets-logo.gif[/img]) – OT D’Brickshaw Ferguson, Virginia: It is no secret that the Texans have a joke of an offensive line. Carr needs to prove that he is worth the contract extension; giving him time to throw the ball is a start.

5.[img]http://www.pinatas.com/images/images_4/packers-logo.gif[/img]– DE Mario Williams, North Carolina State: The Packers actually do not have many holes on their team. Injuries and below average quarterback play really set them back this year. Williams is the best player available at this pick, and really has the potential to be a game changing player in the league.

6.[img]http://www.pinatas.com/images/images_4/raiders-logo.gif[/img]– OLB A.J. Hawk, Ohio State: The Raiders need help on defense. AJ Hawk flies (no pun intended) all over the field and can dominate games. Hawk is a very consistent player, and was the leader of the Buckeyes great defense.

7.[img]http://www.pinatas.com/images/images_4/ravens-logo.gif[/img](from[img]http://www.pinatas.com/images/images_4/49ers--logo.gif[/img]) – RB LenDale White, USC: The Baltimore offense is non-existent when they have no run game. Jamal Lewis has not been the same player since he was in prison, and he and Chester Taylor are both free agents and unlikely to re-sign. White is a big power back that fits very well into the Ravens’ system.

8.[img]http://www.pinatas.com/images/images_4/bills-logo.gif[/img]– OT Winston Justice, USC: The Bills’ offense really struggled this year, passing and running the ball. The offensive line deserves most of the blame. Justice has the potential to be an all-pro left tackle, and should be the anchor of this offensive line for years to come.

9.[img]http://www.pinatas.com/images/images_4/lions-logo.gif[/img]– S Michael Huff, Texas: The Lions resist the urge to draft Santonio Holmes, and get a ball hawk for their secondary. Huff is versatile and can play any position in the secondary. The Lions get a playmaker that was sorely needed on defense.

10.[img]http://www.pinatas.com/images/images_4/titans-logo.gif[/img](from[img]http://www.pinatas.com/images/images_4/cardinals-logo.gif[/img]) – QB Jay Cutler, Vanderbilt: McNair is not going to be around much longer, and Cutler is a lot more polished a passer than Vince Young (Hence the trade down.) Cutler has a big arm, and is from the Tennessee area. He will likely be forced into the starting role in 2007.

11.[img]http://www.pinatas.com/images/images_4/rams-logo.gif[/img]– CB Jimmy Williams, Virginia Tech: Easy pick. The Rams cannot stop anyone from throwing the ball on them. Williams has unbelievable athletic ability and size, and can play either corner or safety.

12.[img]http://www.pinatas.com/images/images_4/browns-logo.gif[/img]– DT Haloti Ngata, Oregon: The Browns days of having a 290 pound NT are officially over. A beast in the middle of the line that will make the linebackers look much better, and instantly improve their porous run defense.

13.[img]http://www.pinatas.com/images/images_4/49ers--logo.gif[/img](from[img]http://www.pinatas.com/images/images_4/ravens-logo.gif[/img]) – WR Santonio Holmes, Ohio State: McAllister solves the secondary problem, now the Niners address their biggest issue: The passing game. Holmes is almost the complete receiver; He lacks ideal size, but is a deep threat and a very good route runner. Alex Smith needs some weapons if he is going to prove that he was worth the #1 pick.

14.[img]http://www.pinatas.com/images/images_4/eagles-logo.gif[/img]– DE Mathias Kiwanuka, Boston College: The Eagles go from Super Bowl contender to a team that appears to have many holes. Kiwanuka is the best player available, and fills a need at defensive end. Kiwi is a prototypical pass rusher, and he and Kearse are going to scare the crap out of many offensive lineman and coaches.

15.[img]http://www.pinatas.com/images/images_4/falcons-logo.gif[/img]– CB Antonio Cromartie, Florida State: The Falcons have many holes in their secondary. Cromartie has unbelievable athletic ability, and when healthy is the best corner in college football. Hall and Cromartie should dominate for many years to come.

16.[img]http://www.pinatas.com/images/images_4/dolphins-logo.gif[/img]– OLB Chad Greenway, Iowa: Simply put this is the best player available for the Dolphins. Seau is old, and Thomas is not getting any younger either. Greenway is an outstanding linebacker that joins an aging but still talented defense.

17.[img]http://www.pinatas.com/images/images_4/vikings-logo.gif[/img]– RB DeAngelo Williams, Memphis: New head coach Childress addresses a dire need of the Vikings offense. No more running back by committee. Williams has a ton of potential and is a steal with the 17th pick.

18.[img]http://www.pinatas.com/images/images_4/cowboys-logo.gif[/img]– OT Eric Winston, Miami (FL) – Bledsoe is getting up there in age, and will probably have to play at least two more years before a younger quarterback is groomed for the position. Winston has the potential to be an all-pro left tackle, and should help add a couple more seasons to Bledsoe’s career. Expect Julius Jones to take a lot more runs to the left side of the line.

19.[img]http://www.pinatas.com/images/images_4/chargers-logo.gif[/img]– S Darnell Bing, USC: The Chargers need help desperately at safety. Bing has a lot of athletic ability, and hits like a linebacker. Bing gives the Chargers a head hunter in the secondary.

20.[img]http://www.pinatas.com/images/images_4/chiefs-logo.gif[/img]– DE Tamba Hali, Penn State: The Chiefs add a sorely needed playmaker to the defensive line. Hali has a non-stop motor, and can help with rushing the passer and defending the run.

21.[img]http://www.pinatas.com/images/images_4/giants-logo.gif[/img]– OLB DeMeco Ryans, Alabama: Best player available for the Giants. Adding Ryans makes the Giants defense start to look very scary towards opposing teams.

22.[img]http://www.pinatas.com/images/images_4/bengals-logo.gif[/img]– S Ko Simpson, South Carolina: The teams biggest weakness in 2005 was at safety. Simpson can play the pass as well as defend the run. He is everything that Bengals head coach looks for in a safety.

23.[img]http://www.pinatas.com/images/images_4/buccaneers-logo.gif[/img]– OT Marcus McNeil, Auburn: McNeil gets to block for his old college buddy, Cadillac Williams. The Bucs biggest weakness in 2005 was offensive line play. McNeil is huge and can be a force for the defensive line to reckon with.

24.[img]http://www.pinatas.com/images/images_4/jaguars-logo.gif[/img]– TE Vernon Davis, Maryland: Davis has speed and strength that is very rare. The Jags desperately need a playmaker on offense, and Davis has as much big play potential as anyone in the draft.

25.[img]http://www.pinatas.com/images/images_4/broncos-logo.gif[/img](from[img]http://www.pinatas.com/images/images_4/redskins-logo.gif[/img]) – DT Brodrick Bunkely, Florida State: The Broncos’ defensive line is losing a couple of players to free agency this year. Bunkley has ability to be disruptive and create more opportunities for Pryce to get some sacks.

26.[img]http://www.pinatas.com/images/images_4/patrics-logo.gif[/img]– CB Richard Marshall, Fresno State: Artrell Hawkins starts in the secondary, which is really all that needs to be said. Marshall has potential to be a shutdown corner, something that the Patriots have not had this season.

27.[img]http://www.pinatas.com/images/images_4/bears-logo.gif[/img]– TE Leonard Pope, Georgia: Face it, the Bears offense isn’t that good. Pope is a huge target with very good hands. Whoever the quarterback is in 2006 will enjoy having Pope as a teammate.

28.[img]http://www.pinatas.com/images/images_4/colts-logo.gif[/img]– OLB Thomas Howard, UTEP: The Colts defense is full of undersized players. Howard is a beast at linebacker, and has the athletic ability and speed to play in the cover two style of defense. The Colts defense gets a great playmaker at linebacker, and with the development of their younger players could become very good very soon.

29.[img]http://www.pinatas.com/images/images_4/seahawks-logo.gif[/img]– OLB Bobby Carpenter, Ohio State: Seattle’s young, up and coming defense adds another playmaker to the roster. Carpenter has a high motor, and is a force when rushing the passer.

30.[img]http://www.pinatas.com/images/images_4/broncos-logo.gif[/img]– WR Chad Jackson, Florida: Rod Smith cannot play until he turns fifty, and Lelie is not really a #1 receiver. Jackson has great speed, and the potential to be a very good NFL receiver.

31.[img]http://www.pinatas.com/images/images_4/panthers-logo.gif[/img]– RB Laurence Maroney, Minnesota: Davis is getting old and is inconsistent; Foster is just inconsistent. Maroney is a big play threat and will become a vital part of the Panther offense.

32.[img]http://www.pinatas.com/images/images_4/steelers-logo.gif[/img]– CB Tye Hill, Clemson: The Steelers top two corners are free agents after this year, and the Steelers will want to add secondary help to keep up with the Bengals.

very nice indeed.

[TheWretchedMass]

NO WRIGHT!!

He lives on his name,

NOT his talent.

[Guest Bengals1181]

You're the second person to tout Simpson.


He's not on anyone's top 10 at safety. Is he really worth a first round pick?

19. [b]Chargers[/b] – S LaRon Landry, LSU: The Chargers need help desperately at safety. Landry is a playmaker that can play both free and strong safety. The Chargers defense joins the rank of elite with this pick.

20. [b]Chiefs[/b] – DE Tamba Hali, Penn State: The Chiefs add a sorely needed playmaker to the defensive line. Hali has a non stop motor, and can help with rushing the passer and defending the run.

What happen to Darnell Bing and Ko Simpson is a sophomore and cannot enter the draft unless he is 3 years remove from high school.

[Lawman]

[quote]What happen to Darnell Bing and Ko Simpson is a sophomore and cannot enter the draft unless he is 3 years remove from high school.[/quote]

Ko Simpson: Height: 6-1 | Weight: 201 | 40-Time: 4.51 Currently ranked 3rd Safety by NFLDraftcountdown.com
Has good size and a solid frame...Very productive and a standout throughout his two year career...Always around the action and has a nose for the ball...Is equally effective as a ballhawk in coverage and in supporting the run...Physical and a good tackler...Good ball skills...Has great instincts...Still improving and has upside.

Weaknesses:
Might not have elite timed speed and needs to run well in workouts to solidify a high grade...Older than the average prospect with his experience and will be a 23-year-old rookie in '06...Might not be quite the pro prospect his college press clippings would lead you to believe...Has only played two years of college football.

Notes:
Burst onto the scene as a true freshman while earning many national honors...[u]A true sophomore who is able to enter the draft this year because he sat out 2003 before enrolling in college, thus making it three years since he graduated from high school...[/u]Prospect with a well-rounded game as well as a lot of potential.

[Lawman]

Akili,

I like your draft [img]http://forum.go-bengals.com/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/41.gif[/img]

Originally, I had Darnell Bing in the 1st and Orien Harris in the 2nd.

Bing has yet to declare and Harris stock has risen with some placing him in Round 1.

Rodrique Wright: Height: 6-5 | Weight: 305 | 40-Time: 5.00
[u]Big with a large frame that he could easily pack some additional pounds onto[/u]...An excellent natural athlete...Very quick and explosive with a burst...Strong and can hold his ground...Has great range and makes plays all over the field...[u]Will penetrate and cause problems in the backfield[/u]...Has a lot of experience...Might be able to play defensive end in a 3-4 scheme...Still has a lot of upside.

Weaknesses:
An underachiever who doesn't always play up to his physical ability...Is not a hard worker...Technique is lacking...Will play too high at times...Allows blockers to lock on...Motor and stamina are very questionable...Has some durability concerns and dealt with a nagging angle injury for most of his junior season.

Notes:
Cousin of NFL defensive lineman Cedric Woodard and his uncle Elmo was a first-round draft pick of the Kansas City Chiefs in 1971...Talented player who looked like a future elite pro prospect early in his career before leveling off...Has the tools to be great but must be more consistent to fulfill that potential.

A few notes.

[quote name='Bengals1181']You're the second person to tout Simpson.

He's not on anyone's top 10 at safety. Is he really worth a first round pick?[/quote]

He wasn't because he was a sophomore and had not declared. Now that he has declared, Kiper has him at #24 [b]overall[/b] and NFL Draft Countdown has him #3 at safety.

[quote name='TheWretchedMass']NO WRIGHT!!

He lives on his name,

NOT his talent.[/quote]

If it were Round 1, I would agree. But in round 2, I would definitely take him. But I would be surprised if he fall as far as our 2nd round pick.

[quote]Bing has yet to declare...[/quote]

Officially, but he is expected to declare today.

[emc334]

There's no way Wright is still around at our second pick. If he doesn't go late first, he'll be gone early second. I don't know, just can't see him falling that far.

[akiliMVP]

Even if Bing declares he will be the fourth best safety behind Huff, Landry, and Simpson. Bing just does not have the instincts and coverage ability that Simpson has.

I've read that Wright is projected mid-late 2nd round, possibly early 3rd round right now. So it's not beyond reason that he's available when we pick.

[akiliMVP]

I updated the draft to reflect Bing declaring himself eligible.

[Bengal Kid]

Ko Simpson is a hard hitter and could go great along with Madieu Williams. I would take him in the first round because the bengals will go after a veteran DT in free agency.

Wright's Weakness - (didn't anyone bother to read this part)

"Weaknesses:

I don't want him in the 2nd, I don't want him in the 5th, I wouldn't even take him in the 7th.

We've already got one Mathias Askew on this team.

We DON'T need two, Wright would become known as "Askew #2"

IMO, it's in Marvin's best interest to go after some FA DTs, they are going to be able to contribute right away, unlike a draft pick at DT.

[Kochman]

Good start now just finish the draft. Don't leave us hanging . I am not a huge fan of Wright either but if he would be there in the second I would hop all over him. Another alternative Ray Edwards.

[Guest Bengals1181]

umm Ray Edwards is a DE.

[akiliMVP]

I'm working on re-ordering it since the Steelers and Panthers won..... And the third round is done I just need to add it.

There is a difference between Wright and Askew. Wright is a known talent who has produced (at the college level anyway). But he does tend to disappear from time to time. He has TONS of raw talent though. If someone could find a way to keep him motivated he would be an absolute beast.

Since, I posted the answer is yes.
and I read this:

[u]...Talented player who looked like a future elite pro prospect early in his career before leveling off...Has the tools to be great but must be more consistent to fulfill that potential.[/u]

First, I would put faith in the coaching staff to get this potential out of him and second the rigors of academics will be gone. For [u]some[/u] student-athletes this can be stressful and impact personal play.

Third round is added, and I perdied up the first round.

on Hunter

Partial to C. Griffin, but i was mulling over him (Hunter) a couple days ago.

Nice find in our own back-yard.

[akiliMVP]

Mother fuck, Landry didn't declare. That screws up the first round and second round, what an asshole.







Edit: I fixed it. Really screwed up a few of my picks.

[quote name='Bengals1181' post='204620' date='Jan 16 2006, 09:29 AM']umm Ray Edwards is a DE.[/quote]

Exactly.


Here is what I found on Hunter.

Pros: Top phyiscal tools. Good height and bulk, and one of the fastest players in the draft. Leaping ability is another positive, and puts all these physical gifts together very well.
Cons: Has struggles in reading plays. Not as physical as you'd like, and not as willing in run support as he could be. Didn't have the senior season most expected.

exactly. Not only do we have other needs in the second round first, Ray Edwards in most mocks is a 3rd or 4th round pick. Not a second round pick.

I wouldn't be afraid to take a DE in the first. There was little to no pressure on the QB unless we blitzed. Geathers did look alot better the second half of the season but could easily be upgraded also Smith is a FA after this next season.
