EnglishBengal Posted January 30, 2014 Report Share Posted January 30, 2014 I'd have to watch more of him, but Charles Sims reminds me of Joseph Randle from last year. Sims is a bigger and better version of Randle. Doesn't look as stiff in the hips and does't go down as easily on first contact. If you want to compare him with someone, look at Matt Forte of the Chicago Bears. Also, check out a guy from Western Kentucky who impressed at the senior bowl, name is Antonio Andrews. He's a combination of BJGE brute strength and Gio versatility. We could have him in rounds 5-6. He's in my latest mock in the "way too early mock draft" thread.

Bengals1181 Posted January 31, 2014 Author Report Share Posted January 31, 2014 Tre Mason, Auburn - best playmaker in the draft Carlos Hyde, Ohio State - best power back in the draft Lache Seastrunk, Baylor - Hyde's size and power gives him a slight edge over Seastrunk's smaller frame but greater speed Bishop Sankey, Washington - neck and neck with Hyde, but Hyde's power gives him the edge James Wilder Jr, Florida State - if he puts it together, could be the best of the group Ka'Deem Carey, Arizona - IMO not quite the RB Bernard is, though a bit faster. Marion Grice, Arizona State - a little overrated IMO, but still solid Andre Williams, Boston College - top speed keeps him out of the top 2 or 3 Charles Sims, West Virginia - has starter tools Jerome Smith, Syracuse - a nice power back for a committee, with some twitch of his own LaDarius Perkins, Mississippi State - underused in college, maybe a dimanond in the rough Tyler Gaffney, Stanford - power complement Isaiah Crowell, Alabama State - committee back Rajion Neal, Tennessee - not all that impressive.

EnglishBengal Posted February 16, 2014 Report Share Posted February 16, 2014 QB Aaron Murray - reminds me of Drew Brees, same size, mechanics, and arm strength. I think Murray's arm strength is slightly better than Dalton's, slightly more zip on his passes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They showed some clips during the combine that looked far better than anything in the few games I watched. he's not someone I'd expect the Bengals to take either way though.

What's the deal with Hill form LSU? Heard he had some off-field issues but liked what I saw at the combine. Wasn't a speed demon but looked fast enough and showed good hands. Is he totally red-flagged off our board? Also, as a Syracuse fan I can say that Jerome Smith would be a good 7th round or FA pickup. He was clutch at Syracuse, especially without a QB worth anything. He's more of a big back but would fit the BJGE mold well. His 40 time was terrible (he's faster than he will time). See long runs against Clemson as proof. I'm not sure why he came out early, but would be a nice late round guy if we missed on the other above. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I haven't watched hill yet, so that's why he's not on the list. I really like Smith. He's one of the first guys I watched. He moves very well for a bigger guy.

Bengals1181 Posted February 26, 2014 Author Report Share Posted February 26, 2014 can't decide how I feel about RB Marion Grice. Love Grice the receiver (maybe the best in the draft), not in love with Grice the runner. He doesn't have the power you'd want to pair with Gio IMO. IMO Grice is a little bit of a finesse runner.

Bengals1181 Posted February 26, 2014 Author Report Share Posted February 26, 2014 DE Michael Sam, Missouri IMO he's a not quite as fast Wallace Gilberry. He's definitely worth a flyer if he's still there in the 5th round. He's got a non-stop motor and you know he'll have a chip on his shoulder. IMO he should stick to DE and not try to make himself a LB. He's not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hill was arrested a few times, and IIRC, was kicked off the team for a bit. Les Miles gave him a few extra chances (I think he had the team vote on him coming back, and - not surprisingly - they voted yes), and he came back and played well. He's a hard runner, has a little bit of wiggle to him and he can catch, too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IMO he should stick to DE and not try to make himself a LB. He's not. He looked pretty bad in space, and wasn't very explosive - 26" vertical, for example, is pretty bad… you usually see big OL in that range. Part of the deal with Sam was, Kony Ealy had to take on a lot of double teams, so he had a lot of chances - to his credit, he made the most of them and made a lot of plays. I agree that he's likely a late-round guy who will have a chip on his shoulder. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or not worth the risk considering he may go around the same spot as a Sankey, Seastrunk/West/Sims? Hill is listen around 233 which intrigues me as I think we need a bigger back to compliment Gio. Rex is 218 and I think we could use a bigger guy. Hyde goes 230, West 225, Williams 230, Wilder 232... While there's not a ton of top end RB talent, there sure are a lot of options that might be available in rounds 3-5. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Bengals pick in the 3rd, 88, should be right in the heart of this RB class. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EnglishBengal Posted February 27, 2014 Report Share Posted February 27, 2014 DT Louis Nix - Another version of Brandon Thompson imo. Maybe due to scheme he played in. 0 technique in a 3-4. I think what we have in Thompson is already better than this guy. DT Timmy Jernigan - Prefer him to Nix. Has some suddeness to him but needs to get off the snap more quickly which is saying something considering how disruptive he is. Wouldn't be a bad pick at 24. DE Kony Ealy - Not overly impressed. Seems like another version of Justin Smith (when he was playing for the Bengals), very god in run support but gets overwhelmed in the passing game too often. Seems very inconsistent and lacks an array of pass rush moves. Mostly gets to the QB a step too late and his only dangerous move is a one-trick speed rush off the edge round the outside of the defender. I'd rather have Scott Crichton in round 2 than this guy.

EnglishBengal Posted February 27, 2014 Report Share Posted February 27, 2014 S Calvin Pryor - Very impressed. Fast, physical, seems very instinctive and always around the ball. Bigger version of Bob Sanders. Guy is is fucking monster in the true sense. I would love him next to Reggie, and Burfict playing on the same D, which would really set the tone for years to come. Don't rule out a safety pick at 24 either, because we need a difference maker at 24 and this guy is it. The Bengals haven't exactly been predictable all of the time with first round picks. No one really thought we'd take a TE last year but it happened, so why not Calvin Pryor (if he lasts to us that is). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
