Re: 2012 NFL Draft thread

Sounds like he fell, CBS ranks him as the 56th overall prospect.

Absolutely love the Bengals draft. Kudos to Marvin, Mike and the whole scouting team.

Re: 2012 NFL Draft thread

I agree it is been a good draft for the Bengals so far. I am only suprised they have not tried to draft a RB so far. Something must be wrong with Miller for him to fall so far.

Re: 2012 NFL Draft thread

Maybe they're OK going into the season with Lawfirm, Scott and Leonard. None strikes me as a true power back, though. Perhaps they'll sign someone else, or wait until next year to draft a RB.

Re: 2012 NFL Draft thread

Five players with great football instincts and all are hard workers. I'm more than impressed and I was one that was extremely hard on Marvin for such a long time.

But they'll need someone else for the 3 or 4 games Leonard is out with an injury.

Re: 2012 NFL Draft thread

The Bengals got a serious case of the BPA. Thompson and Still are going to be tough to fit into the line interior with Atkins, Peko, and Sims. I imagine one of them's gonna be moving to the outside. That D-Line is gonna be fearsome. Sanu looks to help us out a ton and give us a legit #2 option beyond Hawkins.

Sims will have to fight hard to keep his job.

Re: 2012 NFL Draft thread

Supposedly Lamar Miller has a shoulder injury that he will have surgery on this week. That is why he is dropping.

I would like to see the Bengals get
Lamar Miller RB Miami (if doctors know he will be ok)
Vontaze Burfict LB Arizona State (Dontay Moch only linebacker signed beyond 2012)
Mike Brewster C/G Ohio State (talented, needs three weeks of real coaching and a real strength program, he will be just fine)
Markelle Martin S Oklahoma State (Athletic Gambler type)

Yeah I agree. I'd still like a good safety but I recognize why we haven't taken one yet. DeQuan Menzie is my guy there. I'd also like to see Robert Turbin or LaMar Miller but not at the cost of Menzie who I think will go in the 4th. There are several intriguing backs in the 5th round range and later and we have 3 5th's so I'm fine with taking one there. Also LB I think needs some depth with guys coming back from injuries. Perhaps a TE prospect, a DE developmental type and a FB to fill out things.


My final rounds
4th - DeQuan Menzie S 'Bama/Bobby Massie OT
5A - L. Miller/R. Turbin/Tauren Poole RB Tenn./M. Smith Utah St.
5B - Burfict/M. Dowtin LB NAU/Malik Jackson DE
5C - Cody Pearcy WR/CB/PR/KR Huntingdon College Alabama
6th - Emil Igwenagu FB Umass

I've heard Umpire Jeff Kellogg is shooting up draft boards.
