Just saw a mock on Scout.com that had Dorsey falling all the way to the Bengals.

I would be on cloud nine if they drafted Dorsey. I like him better than Sedrick Ellis and if he can stay healthy will be a dominant defensive lineman. This could be a godsend.

I think we trade up a few spots this year for once.
I'll take Gholston over Dorsey in a heartbeat, his potential is huge.
I'd probably take Dorsey over Ellis, though - no way he falls to 9 imo.
I see the Bengals trading up (heaven forbid we actually do something to improve our team) to get Gholston.
Gholston over Dorsey?????
NO WAY IN HELL.
I think trading up is very possible. The top DL are very high rated guys mean while the pack after arent top 10 quality.
This is coming from an OSU hater, too. Gholston will be a top 5 pick, no doubt in my mind. He's a freak of nature, always around the quarterback. He did as many benches as Jake Long and ran a faster 40 than Mike Hart. He also has no injury history and did great in the psychological tests at the combine.
Yeah, I don't see Ellis, Dorsey or Gholston dropping to the Bengals at 9 and i'd hate to settle for a LB like Lauranitis or Connor. This team needs help on the D-line first priority - no exception IMO.
Bengals medical staff + Dorsey = cripple
Lauranitis isnt coming out this year but id probably take him @ 9 if he was and everyone else was off the board
I can't see the Raiders taking Ellis over Dorsey. I know he is from USC and Al Davis has lost his mind, I just don't see it after Ellis's workout. I believe the Bengals will push to get Gholston perhaps switching picks and giving one of their 3rd round picks to move up. Marvin and Zimmer seem to want to move in and out of the 3-4, if that's the case Gholston is a no-brainer.
If you have a losing record at Reds games, please stop going.
I cant imagine it taking more than a 3rd to move up a few spots
Dorsey=Wilkinson
If you have a losing record at Reds games, please stop going.
Oh jeez, thanks for the reminder, completely forgot about that. Bengals have a lot of depth at LB I think, especially if Odell and Johnson come back, possibly even Pollack.
When healthy, a corp of Odell Thurman, Landon Johnson, Dave Pollack, Ahmad Brooks, Eric Henderson and Jeanty SHOULD be solid. I think that's an above average group right there.
No need to go LB, this draft should consist of more than 75% D-line and O-line. The O-line is semi-legit when healthy, but we are gonna need some new guys in a year or two once Williams, Anderson and Jones are gone.
