sparky151 Posted April 10, 2011 Report Share Posted April 10, 2011 A couple of objections: Dallas won't need to trade up that high if Peterson is on the board. Arizona or Cleveland aren't going to take a CB. I think it would be more likely for the Titans to trade up ahead of Arizona to grab Gabbert. If so we could get Fairley instead of Jones which would make me happy. Other objection is that at time of draft we'll have no idea whether Benson or Joseph is coming back. Although Mallett is probably a good value at 35, taking any rookie QB doesn't fix our problem. Give me LeShoure or Baldwin over Mallett. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bengals1181 Posted April 10, 2011 Report Share Posted April 10, 2011 disagree sparky. A lot of people think Arizona might take Peterson. I really like the draft except for the Bailey pick, and I don't think we draft another TE. Bailey has just never impressed me, he needs to switch to DT. He is good value there though.

sparky151 Posted April 10, 2011 Report Share Posted April 10, 2011 Why would AZ take Peterson? Their biggest needs are QB and O-line. Any O-lineman would be a reach but they would grab Gabbert if available. If not, AJ Green or even Von Miller make more sense than Peterson. They have 1 good CB in DRC so they don't need another elite CB. I think they hope to sign Bulger as their short term QB fix but with the draft before free agency they can't count on it as Bulger will have other suitors and he's not a long term fix anyway.

bigfeet4real Posted April 20, 2011 Report Share Posted April 20, 2011 i would LOVE this draft. i like julio jones better than aj green and think he will fit our style and the afc north's rough style better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/quote] cleveland's rebuilding their defensive front four. i know they need a star WR, but i think they'd take nick fairley if he's available. in a deep WR draft, they can easily go get one in the 2nd round. that's what i see holmgren doing in that scenario. he's a smart guy that doesn't get all nervous about the event.

BigDawgBengal Posted April 21, 2011 Report Share Posted April 21, 2011 Would be very happy with the first 3 picks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mikey6866 Posted April 21, 2011 Report Share Posted April 21, 2011 If this is how it went down I would be sick to my stomach. Mallet is gonna be a bust. Julio Jones will be good but not a huge game changer. Wouldent mind Cannon but outside of that I think if you look back on these players a couple years down the road and this draft will look terrible.
