Florida DE Derrick Harvey declares for draft

[fredtoast]

6'4", 265, 8.5 sacks this year, 10.5 last year (including 3 against OSU)

He will be rated as a high to middle first round pick pick. He suddenly becomes a serious contender for our #9 pick.

I was reading somthign the other day, and whomever or whatever they were that wrote the article... they werent as impressed with this guy as like the "top4" other defensive ends in draft this year... sry i have bad memory

[goalpost]

This guy is a good player. Let's face it. The more good players that enter the draft, is just more good news for the Bengals. I think he could creap into the top 10, which just pushes another guy back to us. Also, he is defense, we..may like him. Also, the more players, the more trade options the Bengals can make. In summary, anyone who can add to the mix, just makes the 9 pick a better pick, when that day comes.

goalpost he will not be a top 10 pick he will be like moss last year there the same player

If by some miracle he falls to pick #40, we'd be nuts not to grab him, but #9 is a big reach.

But what do I know? I thought Earl Everett was a sure first-day pick last year. He got signed by the Bengals as a free agent, cut, and is now on Atlanta's practice squad. I guess there's no escaping a 4.8 second 40 yd dash.

I need to ditch Time-Warner and get Direct TV for the combine.

I agree at 9 would be a reach and at 40 we would have to take him. I think he will rise after the combine so after that it will probably change. I still do not see us drafting him though.

I've watched them both play, and harvey is much better than Moss. Moss was a total wimp who bench pressed like a WR. Harvey is much stronger and had many more sacks than Moss ever had.

I agree that #9 would probably be too high for him unless he blows up at the combine. Still he is a guy we have to keep an eye on. Remember that we have a history of trading down in the first round, so we have to consider other players than just those who slot at #9.

As already said #9 is too high. But I agree he is worth watching.

There stats may be similiar, but they are not the same type of player. Harvey is much bigger and stronger than Moss.
