I think we already have guy B on our roster with Keith Rivers. I would like to pair him with a type A player so we kinda have the best of both worlds out their all the time. Somone whose sound to the core and never misses a responsibility but doesn't take many chances playing with a bigger faster guy whose athleticism lets him take more chances and make the impact kinda plays that alter games.

One guy may become the intellectual leader out there, and the other guy will be the emotional leader. BZ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
akiliMVP Posted February 18, 2009 Report Share Posted February 18, 2009 The Bengals have had no success with guys that are jackasses in college. He may be a beast every once in a while, but he has no brain. No Maualuga. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Scales Posted February 18, 2009 Report Share Posted February 18, 2009 The Aaron Curry type. Some peoples got him going to the queefs at #3 . . . I say NO NO NO! Perhaps a # 6 and an Ocho Cinco for your number 3 Mr. Queef...friend? Here have this Levi Jones too. Can I interest you in John Thornton as well?

They got safe and quiet in Rivers. He'll be a guy that will always spark debate about whether he's a bust or not because he'll make a bunch of quiet plays. I'll roll with the wild man (A) next to Rivers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quaker Posted February 19, 2009 Report Share Posted February 19, 2009 I want #1. #1 is a playmaker. You can't teach "playmaking" ability. You can teach discipline. Rey M teamed with Zimmer, good combo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The last guy that put the fear of god in opponents I guess was David Fulcher... we need a guy that is going to make offensive players trying to look at the ball and look the other direction too making sure they're not going to get their head taken off. An intimidator. Like others have said - #6 would be too high in this draft though. Get into the 13-14 range and I'm all ears. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
