Whodonkeys Posted April 26, 2009 Report Share Posted April 26, 2009 Would like to hear their thoughts on this pick, but ESPN giving us some props big time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VonBlade Posted April 26, 2009 Report Share Posted April 26, 2009 I'd have much preferred C as I think I made clear. I'm not sure Caldwell will be there at 98, but then Johnson wouldn't have been either. Johnson is a genuine all-out situational pass rusher. So that's good now we've got the beef on the line and the studly LBs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mu Shu Posted April 26, 2009 Report Share Posted April 26, 2009 Whats funny is that Andre Smith, Rey Rey and Michael Johnson were all considered top 10 picks before last season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GoCommando Posted April 26, 2009 Report Share Posted April 26, 2009 Mayock just skewered Johnson. And then said there's question marks next to all of our picks. WTF is he smoking? This is a great draft so far! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bengaled Posted April 26, 2009 Report Share Posted April 26, 2009 [quote name='akiliMVP' post='768846' date='Apr 26 2009, 10:03 AM']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] get the kleenex out.

They never give us love like that. Plus they are giving us an entire segment of the show. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DontPushMe Posted April 26, 2009 Report Share Posted April 26, 2009 [quote name='cassanos' post='768983' date='Apr 26 2009, 11:34 AM']Where are the clips? Does he start for us? How do you grade this pick?[/quote] definitly doesnt start, hes more of a situational pass rusher... seems like the kind of guy who could get 7 or 8 sacks in limited time and look like a steal, but hes not going to be in there on rushing downs unless he totally changes his mind on how he wants to play Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bengals1181 Posted April 26, 2009 Report Share Posted April 26, 2009 [quote name='msharp16' post='768977' date='Apr 26 2009, 11:33 AM']i just nutted all over myself... we got 3 picks with first round talent without trading... i'm loving it[/quote] this is starting to remind me of the 2003 draft. Got 3 first round talents, Palmer, Steinbach, Washington (that's not my eval, but pre-neck injury he was highly rated) with the first 3 picks.

Jay Lenos Chin Posted April 26, 2009 Report Share Posted April 26, 2009 Defensive End | Senior | Georgia Tech Michael Johnson Height: 6-67/8 | Weight: 266 | 40-Time: 4.75 Official Bio[img]http://grfx.cstv.com/photos/schools/geot/sports/m-footbl/auto_headshot/2121315.jpeg[/img] Strengths: Has a large rangy frame with extremely long arms...Outstanding athleticism...Great speed...Quick and agile...Terrific range...Explosive with a burst...Does a nice job in pursuit and closes in a hurry...Great leaper and will bat down passes...A terror off the edge...Has shown the ability to make impact plays...Decent production...Has a ton of upside. Weaknesses: Lean with average bulk...Isn't very strong, tough or physical...Has a terrible motor...Will get manhandled at times...Almost a non-factor against the run...Is not stout at the point and gets pushed around...Sub par instincts...Runs himself out of plays...Limited experience...Plays with poor leverage...Intensity and commitment have been questioned. Notes: Was a backup who entered the game in passing situations his first three seasons with the Yellow Jackets and didn't start until his senior year...Named 1st Team All-ACC in 2008...Was a finalist for both the Bednarik and Hendricks Awards as a senior...Some feel he could also project to outside linebacker in a 3-4 scheme...The type who will make one or two amazing plays then disappear for the rest of the game...Not nearly as impressive on film as his stats and measurables would lead you to believe...Has the physical tools to be great but needs to be a lot more consistent...Status as a top prospect is a product of potential and hype...One-dimensional "Workout Warrior" who will likely be drafted earlier than he should be...Finesse player who won't be able to handle an every down role in the NFL and profiles as a 43 pass rush specialist.

Whodonkeys Posted April 26, 2009 Report Share Posted April 26, 2009 Dude ran a 4.49 for the Lions, 4.59 at GT pro day. Boom bust potential but you have to make that pick there IMHO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cassanos Posted April 26, 2009 Report Share Posted April 26, 2009 I dunno, I guess its a cool pick Much rather have someone who would/could start The tape is terrible...BUT if he toughens up then maybe...yeah Center next? Then RB? Then what? WTF is up with all the Bengals coverage alladasuddin? I think they are trying to get some tape and hedge their bets for when we are on the playoff run (I told you so's) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
