Guest CrazyIrishman5 Posted January 10, 2007 Report Share Posted January 10, 2007 I think [b]YES[/b]! I know we need defense but when you can get a player with his speed and can be a WR/KR/PR, you take him! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jason Posted January 10, 2007 Report Share Posted January 10, 2007 The Buckeye fan in me screams YES!!!! The Bengals fan in me says probably not. I would say if there are no CBs, DEs, DTs worthy of the 18th pick are there, [b]OR[/b] if we address our defensive needs in Free Agency, go ahead. If nothing else he would instantly upgrade our punt return game. But the odds that no worthy defensive player being available are pretty small, so I guess it depends on free agency.

Ben Posted January 10, 2007 Report Share Posted January 10, 2007 a 1st round pick seems pretty high for a 4th string wideout and PR/KR Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JC Posted January 10, 2007 Report Share Posted January 10, 2007 If he wants to play some corner go for it. But who would want to switch to a corner after scoring touchdowns your college career doing it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jamie_B Posted January 10, 2007 Report Share Posted January 10, 2007 God no, were already deep at WR and while we could upgrade our return unit, Tab will be back and Chatman never has had the chance yet. We have far far far many more needs on the otherside of the ball, so like JC said unless he is willing to play CB, no thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nelson Muntz Posted January 10, 2007 Report Share Posted January 10, 2007 Hell Yes, if we don't then someone in PBS has been hanging out with Tyrone Biggums. I can't believe 3 people actually voted no and I'm surprised by some of these post. Ted Ginn has what you can't coach and what every NFL covets, god given athletic ability. He's been one of the NCAA's most dynamic players the moment he stepped foot on the field at the shoe. If by some miracle Ginn falls to us at 18, we have to take him as he will be a game changer as he is a threat to take it to the house on every play. Sure he might be a back up, but TJ deal is up in a few years, who knows when CJ will ask for TO money, and Henry could rob an old lady for her purse with his jersey and helmet on this time, of the course helmet will hide his face, so that being said we could use Ginn's play-making ability. Besides you saw Hester was able to do for the Bears this year, he single handly keep them in games and help them win games by his PR skills. Ginn is a beast in the open field, if we have a chance to take Ginn and we pass, I might have to re-think who my favorite NFL team is as it would be clear that this team doesn't have a clue about what it takes to win. But all of this is moot as Ginn will be a top 10 pick, once he works out and wows the scouts with his numbers he will cement draft status. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
akiliMVP Posted January 10, 2007 Report Share Posted January 10, 2007 He's a great receiver, but with Chad, TJ, Henry, Brazell, McNeal and Perry all on the roster, we don't need him at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brazell could be just as explosive. Plus when you make Bruce Grad look like god you know you need a better pass rush or better pass defense.

|Bengal Migration| Posted January 10, 2007 Report Share Posted January 10, 2007 you make this pick only if you manage to trade away henry or chad for a sweet draft pick or more. otherwise, no chance in hell. we need D. not a 9th WR. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WD40 Posted January 12, 2007 Report Share Posted January 12, 2007 they guy might be the fastest receiver in college football, but he is not even the best WR on his team. That honor goes to Mr. Gonzalez. Ted Ginn is too dumb to learn the position, so like others have said, unless he wants to go back on the other side of the ball, the Bengals have no use for him.

MacD BengalFan Posted January 12, 2007 Report Share Posted January 12, 2007 No, the Bengals have enough WR's then to draft another one. That is what the Lions do. The Bengals need help on the defense and that should be the focus of the draft. They will, however, need to draft a RB to compliment Rudi as Chris Perry will soon become another Kijana Carter. But no more WR's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Bengals1181 Posted January 12, 2007 Report Share Posted January 12, 2007 Ginn's biggest asset to the team would be returning kicks and punts. Instead, I think we'll take a CB/S who is great at returning kicks and punts rather than a WR. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Although, I'm not so much worried about a KR/PR guy because we should have Chatman and Tab Perry back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Palmer4HOF Posted January 13, 2007 Report Share Posted January 13, 2007 Why does everyone think he would be a WR on this team? Honestly, I see Marvin taking him at 18 and converting him BACK to a CB (he was the number 1 rated CB in the country before attending OSU). I see Marvin taking him to be a returner, and then a corner who can fly. It might be a huge gamble, but it could turn out to be a GREAT one. Think of what great field position could do to our offense and defense for once? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He probably wants to stay at WR and score touchdowns and get noticed. Just my opinion. I know i wouldn't want to convert to a corner after so much success at WR.

But I would say that his long term potential plays a part in that too. He has only played WR for 3 years, and he's already considered a first round pick. He also has very good hands, has become a much better route runner, and has improved significantly as a blocker this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
