I will only be around through the 3rd round today.
I got some stuff to take care of.

I am sure someone will pick up the slack on threads
and articles. Right?

I'm psyched, Caldwell will be a Bengal by the end of the day

Bolded players are who I want in round 3

I know we need to take a center but I dont know how they can pass on Michael Johnson or Jared Cook. Those guys have rare skills that you dont see in the third round, especially Johnson, if he can play tougher he could be unreal. Cook ran in the 4.6's and can play the slot and be a serious down the seam/over the middle target for CP

I don't think Cook is a good fit in the offensive scheme at tight end because he can't block at all.


Johnson in round 3 would make me cream in my pants though. A rotation of Geathers, Odom and Johnson would be pretty damn good IMO.

[quote name='Bengals1181' post='768826' date='Apr 26 2009, 09:40 AM']As for today, I'd be pretty happy if we ended the day with Antoine Caldwell, Lawrence Sidbury, Javon Ringer, and Sammy Stroughter. That would complete the draft for me, regardless of what the other 5 picks are![/quote]

You forgot Kevin Huber.

Some 3rd round mock on espn.com has us taking Andre Brown and some DT from Texas A&M. I have no problem with Brown but there were better players there according to what they had.

I'd love to have Huber, but getting him or not getting him isn't going to make or break my day if we get the rest of those guys.

I'm hoping we trade for Seattle Center Chris Spencer.

Few years ago, Alexander was in love with him. Said he was the best center prospect that he had ever seen. He got drafted by Seattle in the first round and apparently has struggled for a few years now. They drafted Max Unger last night to replace him.

keep in mind Unger can play both guard spots.

And tackle.

True. But Spencer is going into the last year of his deal and from everything that I've read about the Seahawks taking Unger, the common consensus is that he was drafted to replace Spencer - who apparently has struggled with injuries.

From C Trent's Twitter . . .

@jboyle1970 knock on unger is he's finesse and not strong enough against top-notch DT and NG, that's not good in AFC North about 12 hours ago from twhirl in reply to jboyle1970

There's only 5 minutes between picks now, right?

And Marshall Faulk still doesn't like the Bengals. Thinks we are still a bunch of trouble makers with no one to help develop Andre into the player he can be.

Shut the fuck up Marshall.

I like your list but I'd add the TE out of Southern Miss, Roy Miller, and Jarron Gilbert. Wouldnt mind Duke Robinson either.

Dont forget guys, we havent taken an unknown player our of a 1aa school yet, so dont rule that out.

Lions trade their pick to the Jets.

Jets on the clock.

What are our picks?
How many do we have today?

...so I can know when to stop watching

nine

And a curveball to begin with a trade. Jets have jumped in
