Tigris Posted January 5, 2009 Report Share Posted January 5, 2009 I know it's way early, but I'm bored... so here's my attempt: 1. Brian Orakpo, DE, Texas 2. Brian Cushing, OLB, USC 3. Antoine Caldwell, C, Alabama 4. Cedrick Dockery, G, Texas 5. Conredge Collins, FB, Pittsburgh 6. Tyrell Sutton, RB, Northwestern 7. Chase Daniel, QB, Missouri Caldwell in the 3rd probably isn't going to happen... but one can hope! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bengals1181 Posted January 5, 2009 Report Share Posted January 5, 2009 it'll be a nice defense but Carson will still get hit early and often and we won't be able to run the ball. No thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bengals1181 Posted January 5, 2009 Report Share Posted January 5, 2009 it probably wouldn't be too terribly different than yours. I don't think you address the oline well though. We need to grab a tackle somewhere high, whether its a LT or a RT. I love the Cushing pick, but he may not drop that far. Also like the Sutton pick, and like that you took a FB somewhere. Don't care too much for the Chase Daniel pick as that's a pick we can use on a more pressing position. Definately have to grab a tackle somewhere though. Protecting Carson is priority number 1. Ideally: Rd. 1 LT Oher (I'm liking him a little more than Smith at this point, though I'd take Smith or Curry as consolation) Rd. 2 SLB Brian Cushing Rd. 3 The best center still on the board (starter in free agency) Rd. 3 comp RB Jeremiah Johnson Rd. 4 Brannan Southerland, FB Rd. 5 Kevin Huber, P Rd. 6 DE prospect Rd. 7 whoever Just off the top of my head.

Tigris Posted January 5, 2009 Author Report Share Posted January 5, 2009 First two picks were sweet. I don't know much about the rest of the players in your draft besides Boone and and 3 QBs. By the way, I don't think I'd want to toy with the moving a QB to WR thing again after McNeal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bengals1181 Posted January 5, 2009 Report Share Posted January 5, 2009 I'd actually be in favor of moving Pat White to RB (rather than WR). Get 10 pounds on him and let him be your steve slaton/chris johnson type back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't get that impression from White. Honestly, I don't know ton about a lot of those guys either, but Alex Brown was a beast in the bowl game I saw him play in, a real bruiser with some speed and Nick Reed is a sack master but might be too small to play DE and too slow to play LB- his draft stock depends entirely on the combine and Sammie Stroughter is another OSU receiver with great hands and good route running -could be the next TJ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most of the game they had a TE helping Boone, which completely shutdown Orakpo. I actually saw the TE's shut down Orakpo a couple times one-on-one better than Boone did.

Boone started out playing Orakpo one on one and allowed one QB hurry and got called for holding once but it wasn't until Texas shifted Orakpo to the other side of the line that he started getting to the QB every other snap. Boone did get off the line slow a couple of times, but once he got Orakpo in front of him he was smothering him. Orakpo wasn't much of a factor in the pass rush until the second half. Also, Boone was good in run blocking as many of Wells' first-half runs and then Herron in the second half were to the left side. Also, Orakpo didn't show anything other than a quick burst and a bull rush. I really think he looks like a clone of Justin Smith and would be a terrible pick at No. 6. Remember Smith had about 11 sacks his senior year and was a workout warrior just like Orakpo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

happyrid Posted January 6, 2009 Report Share Posted January 6, 2009 I don't really like Boone too much as a Bengal pick due to his attitude. However, physically he isn't bad for a mid round guy. You have to consider that he is playing LT and has done pretty well except against first round talent type opponents. If you move him to guard in the NFL, I think he's a solid guy in the mold of Andrew Whitworth. Basically, he's shown enough and has enough size/athleticism that he could be a good guard in the NFL and might have a shot as a RT if he improves a bit.

Orakpo didn't line up against Boone in the second half. I think that's a pretty good showing for a guy you seem to think is garbage against a guy you think is a Top 10 pick.

JC Posted January 7, 2009 Report Share Posted January 7, 2009 Is there any chance we can get Mohammad Massaquoi in the late rounds of the draft? I haven't seen any real ranking on him.

I think Madieu and Odom might cancel each other out, or they might not have even played enough to qualify. I dont think Uthect played enough to qualify and Landon didnt play that much either, he had something like 14 ST tackles and I am not sure how much run he got on defense. Justin might be the only one that gets us anything. This is the toughest year to figure out and I am not sure what I will do for my mock draft Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
