New Jersey Bengal Posted April 15, 2014 Report Share Posted April 15, 2014 Has anyone heard who Lap has us taking in the 1st round. he was spot on last year with Eifert; He also was spot on with the J Joe pick as well as having us taking Whit a few years back.

New Jersey Bengal Posted April 16, 2014 Author Report Share Posted April 16, 2014 Thanks very much . I will listen to it later when I am home. Everyone seems to be ragging on the Bengals for losing Johnson and collins but they offered MJ just about what Tampa did just a little less. It was his choice to leave as it was J Joe's a few years back . He will regret leaving . And as for Collins he was not worth what Tampa paid him. Anyway, thanks again Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

New Jersey Bengal Posted April 16, 2014 Author Report Share Posted April 16, 2014 Appreciate it. I hope the Bengals have a good draft. I have a feeling that they will. They have been knocking it out of the park the last few drafts Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cincity Posted April 18, 2014 Report Share Posted April 18, 2014 The tough thing is, there are so few spots left on the roster to actually make the 53man roster. We're basically red shirting our 2nd thru 5th round picks and trying to hide our late round picks on the PS, which worked w/Hamilton but not with a couple others. It's a good problem to have though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NASTYNATI Posted April 25, 2014 Report Share Posted April 25, 2014 Lap selected Taylor Lewan OT on NFL Networks mock draft. He mentioned that they need a corner several times though... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Madieu Superstar Posted April 25, 2014 Report Share Posted April 25, 2014 Lap selected Taylor Lewan OT on NFL Networks mock draft. He mentioned that they need a corner several times though... It would be interesting to see if he was still there. If he was, I definitely would make the pick and stick him at LG this year. Lap always has an idea of who the Bengals have their eye on. Not saying this would be the pick, but I doubt he select Lewan if he didn't already think the Bengals were high on him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arkansas Bengal Posted April 25, 2014 Report Share Posted April 25, 2014 Taylor Lewan will be long gone by the time we draft unless we move up (which we rarely do). He supposedly is a top 10 pick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not with all the negative pub out there! (:ninja: required) Do your part and shout from the rooftops how he's a thug and punches opposing fans!

I would not be unhappy with this pick. However, like Arkansas Bengal said, "He supposedly is a top 10 pick." It is possible that the 2nd rated OT in the draft to slide depending upon needs of teams ahead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JBandJoeyV Posted April 25, 2014 Report Share Posted April 25, 2014 I'd be down for an OT. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sparky151 Posted April 25, 2014 Report Share Posted April 25, 2014 It's unlikely Lewan is available at 24 but he seems to be a controversial prospect. That probably means there will be a team that likes him enough to grab him but he could end up being the 4th or 5th tackle taken. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whodey1971 Posted April 25, 2014 Report Share Posted April 25, 2014 Lap selected Taylor Lewan OT on NFL Networks mock draft. He mentioned that they need a corner several times though... Does this essentially mean that Lap thinks they'll take a corner...but there's no way they would pass on Lewan if he slid to them? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bengaled Posted April 25, 2014 Report Share Posted April 25, 2014 Taylor Lewan will be long gone by the time we draft unless we move up (which we rarely do). He supposedly is a top 10 pick. let's think back to a year ago. interchange the name tyler eifert for taylor lewan in your above statement and you'd get an agreement with most of our members last year. just sayin, you never know. taking a modest consideration of how long whitworth will be able to operate effectively at LT, along with the loss of anthony collins (who i feel they should have made a stronger pitch for), i'd jump for joy over taylor lewan being available. your right, it's probably an unlikely situation he'll be there, but it seems like every year someone you least expect drops in the 1st round.

Khatmandude Posted April 25, 2014 Report Share Posted April 25, 2014 Yup. That's correct and I agree with the general point he was trying to make, but Lewan plays OT which is a highly sought after, premium position whereas Eifert plays TE. Just look at how many OTs typically go in the top ten and in the first round in general vs the TE position that's lucky to get more than 1 player drafted in the 1st Rd and NEVER in the top 5 or 10 unless they run a 4.3 at 250 lbs like Vernon Davis.

While you are also correct and I'll agree with you there is this caveat: Lewan is not considered the top Tackle but is in the 3-5 range, which is further complicated by his "attitude" label. After Miami this year, I can see some teams being cautious. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
