The Official 2008 NFL Draft Thread

Rivers to NE anyone?

[Screwball]

I don't think he was a lock to go to the Rams. Supposedly they were looking at Dorsey and someone else (I can't remember the name).

I know, I was more referring to the RedsZone mock draft. Of course, it helps my best friend from college works for the Rams, and tipped me off.

[Highlifeman21]

Do they ever not boo their pick?

Just remember, Jets stands for Just End The Season...

[Yachtzee]

I just have this sick feeling in my gut that the Bengals will pick an RB or WR. I don't think I've heard of any RB or WR in this year's draft that would justify not going with D in the first round.

They need to move to this pick NE is on the clock for and take Ellis.

The Bengals don't make smart draft day decisions.

Doing what you suggest would violate from their historical trends...

[Screwball]

Saints traded up. They'll take Ellis.

[Reds Fanatic]

Saints traded up. Looks like they will get Ellis. That is who I really wanted the Bengals to get.

Yup.

Smart draft day move by NOLA. This is the player that Cincinnati desperately needs. There isn't another player in the draft that could make the kind of immediate impact on defense OR offense that Ellis could for the Bengals.

Bengals Draft Day = Fail

I'm a Tampa Bay fan -- how the hell do you think I feel having to see this monster 2 times a year?

Cincinnati's ineptitude has far reaching effects.

[Screwball]

Well that's a big kick to the nuts.

[Highlifeman21]

Ravens trade their pick to the Jags

I was optimistic today in putting on Bengals gear, even though I should know better. I think it may be the last time if they pick an RB or WR with this pick.

If they're gonna go offense, they need to go o-line. The reason the Bengals offense sputters has little to do with the WRs or RBs and much to do with how much time Palmer has to throw and how much room their existing RBs have to run.
