bengalsdave985 Posted March 11, 2009 Report Share Posted March 11, 2009 Lions - Curry Rams - J. Smith Chiefs - Orakpo Hawks - Monroe Browns - Brown Bengals - ?????? Are we forced to take Raji, who I really like but isnt my first/second/third/or forth choice. I cant see anyone wanting to move up to get Stafford or Crabtree when there isnt a ton of seperation b/t them and Sanchez/Macklin and I doubt anyone wants to pay them what the 6th pick will get when they can stay where they are and get the alternative. If those 5 guys are gone is there anyone besides Raji and Crabtree worth taking Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bengals1181 Posted March 11, 2009 Report Share Posted March 11, 2009 IMO Andre Smith or Oher, one of the two, will be worth the pick there once they have their pro day workout evaluations. They may be a small reach, but not major. I'd don't want either in the first, but I'd much rather have Maclin than Crabtree if we go that route.

|Bengal Migration| Posted March 11, 2009 Report Share Posted March 11, 2009 Is there really a chance in hell of Curry going #1? Really? Who was the last LB to go #1 overall? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bengals1181 Posted March 11, 2009 Report Share Posted March 11, 2009 I thought the same about curry, but he's likely gone before us anyway so it doesn't really matter as far as this discussion goes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bengalsdave985 Posted March 11, 2009 Author Report Share Posted March 11, 2009 I think the chance might be small but I have heard a few people throw his name around. He might be the "safest" pick. Hopefully Andre has a great pro day, I would be fine taking him 6, cant say the same about Oher Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChicagoBengal Posted March 11, 2009 Report Share Posted March 11, 2009 I'm just not sure they'd take Raji who seems to be a better fit in the 3-4. I wouldn't be surprised at that point if they went with Andre Smith. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the first 5 picks do fall like that, and we are not able to trade down, take Oher. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The pick may have value here to somebody that wants Crabtree, because you would have to get in front of Oakland if you want him. If no trade partner I would probably still take A.Smith. I dont care about the combine or his pro day. On tape he is a beast. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
globetrotter Posted March 12, 2009 Report Share Posted March 12, 2009 I think that it ends up being Stafford-Smith-Curry-Monroe-Orakpo Then our options seem to be Crabtree, Oher, Smith, Raji, Maybin, Brown and Mualaga I think all could be argued as fits but that Monroe Curry and J. Smith are the prizes we should want. There are big question marks about the rest of these guys. I probably go with Oher because at the very least he will be a dominating RT.

eva4ben-gal Posted March 12, 2009 Report Share Posted March 12, 2009 [quote name='ChicagoBengal' post='755204' date='Mar 11 2009, 10:43 AM']I'm just not sure they'd take Raji who seems to be a better fit in the 3-4. I wouldn't be surprised at that point if they went with Andre Smith.[/quote] not to be a dick but I'm tired of reading people posting that Raji is a 3-4 guy. He is just as good at pass rushing as he is stopping the run and in a 3-4 you really just need a guy that will plug holes and stop the run to allow the edge rushers to get one-on-one matchups. Raji can play in a 1 gap or 2 gap scheme and will be a stud in any defensive alignment. Every scouting report on the guy says he's great for a 3-4 or a 4-3. I would do a backflip if they got him at six, but if the scenario above plays out I think it will be either Smith or Everette Brown or a desperate attempt to trade down - which I would prefer in the first place. Or they could draft Stafford and open a bidding war for whatever team wants to trade us their first and some other picks to get him - that would be cool too. I don't want Maybin just because I want somebody that will contribute in his rookie season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Inigo Montoya Posted March 13, 2009 Report Share Posted March 13, 2009 I could live with Andre Smith, Michael Oher, or BJ Raji. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
