Even though I don't like waiting until the 5th for a WR, I would still take this mock draft in a heartbeat. This draft even adds a late 7th round punter to give Robbins some competition. So yeah, it's too good to be true. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JC Posted April 17 Report Share Posted April 17 Yeah - that would be solid. I’d belly ache about not taking a WR at 80, but getting two more defensive tackles and a guard that could possibly play right away would be great. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dex Posted April 17 Report Share Posted April 17 Wonder if the Bengals would pass on a prospect because his agent is very difficult to deal with? Muleghetta, the agent who represented both Bates and Higgins, also represents Taliese Fuega. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dont pass on talent just because of an agent. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But maybe as a tiebreaker factor... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That would be very petty and stupid...ultimately the player makes the decisions, not the agents so blaming the agents is misguided, they are fiduciaries, not decision-makers. If Bates wanted to be a Bengal he would be, if Tee wanted to sign a long-term deal he would... the agent just gets his clients the best deals possible.

sparky151 Posted April 17 Report Share Posted April 17 21 hours ago, Le Tigre said: Sheldon was a 4th rounder. Not a major toss of dice. Boom or bust. Carman was a bad pick in that he was a natural LT and they not only used him too early, they put him at a position he had no business (or experience) playing. Both, however, were above average at the collegiate level. A flub-up on a night out on the town does not discount what he did on the field at Texas. There may be better “value” picks at NT later on, but for a true description of what the Bengals need as a pure NT, he is it. The Bengals met with him…he’s been vetted. If they suspected a chronic issue, then that is one matter. A lot of people suspect Sweat is an alcoholic, based on his BAC combined with pretty good performance on the tests the cops gave him. They read it as he's a highly functional problem drinker. Getting to his .105 at his weight required a lot of drinks and if he was inexperienced, he would have been swaying and slurring his speech more. 9 hours ago, texbengal said: For sure… forgot he’d played in Canada. Very good player. Off the top of my head, Andrew Hawkins played in Canada too. Always liked him. Moonpie Wilson, hadn't thought about him in a long time. I think the Bengals have had some DBs from the CFL in camp before. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, these things are always a crapshoot, but The Beast is just so detailed. Here is what he came up with for Cincinnati: 1 (18). Byron Murphy II, DT, Texas 2 (49). Cooper Beebe, G, Kansas State 3 (80). Theo Johnson, TE, Penn State 3 (97). D.J. James, CB, Auburn 4 (115). T’Vondre Sweat, DT, Texas 5 (149). Anthony Gould, WR, Oregon State 6 (194). Erick All, TE, Iowa 6 (214). Giovanni Manu, OT, British Columbia (Can.) 7 (224). Sam Hartman, QB, Wake Forest 7 (237). Ryan Rehkow, P, BYU We need a OT earlier than round 6 IMHO, like one of our 3rd rounders or our 4th. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would like to see these “people” and their expert findings. If it is just supposition from tank-topped TV blabbermouths, then question the source strongly. Are there any actual medical/psychological opinions? Otherwise it appears to be bollocks 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Piss poor judgement is not the endearing quality NFL teams are looking for. His mama raised him by herself. tough place to grow up in. He's was bigger than kids from the start. Mama feed and babied him. He wasn't a bully .exact opposite.. Passively funny... Needs mentorship.. Maybe BJ Hill could take a role in it.. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
