Le Tigre Posted March 23, 2012 Report Share Posted March 23, 2012 I'm going to bet they hang with Jerome...re-up Bobbie for a year...and find some complimentary DT filler (presumably with Pat coming back). Go with what you know. Should be an interesting draft. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bengals1181 Posted March 24, 2012 Author Report Share Posted March 24, 2012 [quote name='Lewdog' timestamp='1332546610' post='1111283'] So really there are only three empty slots left to be filled. #2WR, OG, and DT. I would say the Bengals probably have around $10 million left in cap space to fill those three spots. I would be happy with Bell, Sims, and I'm not sure as far as a WR is concerned. Braylon Edwards or Jerome Simpson back. [/quote] they have probably at least $20 million left, but they surely don't intend to spend all of it.

Tigris Posted March 24, 2012 Report Share Posted March 24, 2012 The # of ends we're looking at is crazy. You would think we'd be looking at tackles or tweeners. Peko Atkins Is that all the true DT's we have right now? Who am I missing? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And Roth has said in the past that he prefers playing LB, although he wiilingly played end with the Jaguars. So, he has experience at both positions and has been a pretty effective player either standing up or with his hand on the ground. Would be great if they signed him to join the competition with Harvey and Anderson, or whatever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big Alice Posted March 24, 2012 Report Share Posted March 24, 2012 Oh, I know exactly what he was "supposed to be". Defensive linemen probably have the highest bust rate of any position group. Beware "one year wonders" and "combine phenoms". Jamaal Anderson was a guy who's production didn't match his measurables. He's two things - big and athletic. He hasn't been able to develop the technique to be an effective edge rusher. My thinking is that, inside, he's quick enough to occasionally blow by somebody and he's well suited to chase play down when the pocket collapses. As an end, all I anticipate from him is taking up space as a run defender. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They used several DEs inside on passing downs... Odom, Fanene, Rucker, Geathers. They were all pretty effective, I thought. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
