I would love it if the Bengals got Robert Sands!

A guy that impressed me that's on the list is Kendrick Burney... maybe not as a future starter, but as a guy that can contribute on STs and in nickel and dime packages. I'm really impressed with his instincts - he was constantly getting his hands on the ball and making plays. The Bengals got a great look at him at the Senior Bowl.

And I like Dion Lewis of Pitt as well.

Beat me to it.

Dion Lewis '09...1799 yds...5.5 avg...18 tds ([b]as a freshman[/b])

Dion Lewis '10...1061 yds...4.8 avg...13 tds

Some team is going to get a steal in this guy. He was freaking unbelievable as a freshman (I am sure UC fans still remember him). He also caught 52 passes in just two seasons at Pitt.

I like short running backs. Quizz Rodgers from Oregon State is another intriguing guy if you can get him later in the draft.

I know it goes against pretty much everyone else here's ideal plans, but if I was running the draft this year, I'd almost exclusively try to rebuild the offense. (Grab a Safety or two in FA (and maybe the draft) and go young in the front 7 with guys like Muckelroy, Atkins, etc.) Grab your QB of the future, a true #1 WR, a new 3rd down back, a couple OL, etc. and let them learn together along with Simpson, Gresham, Shipley, Andre, Whit....

yea man. To see him run is impressive. He's only 5'7" and 195lb but runs tough and doesn't seem to take big hits. I remember games when he had 50+ touches and was not worn out. His freshman year, people were arguing over who was better between him and L.McCoy. Ray Rice seems a good comparison, but he seems to play faster and much faster than his 4.57 combine time.
