I wouldn't be surprised to see him tumble in the draft.

He should. Someone will get him as a backup/

Good for one or 2 contracts. Lol

So now Dalton and Gresham are in PB?

I will watch it this year. I hope it gives us some confidence going forward. With all the guys in FA this season I think we can really take a big step forward. We are not that far. We need to fill a few pieces with a few solid FA and then hit the draft again. If we get someone like Colston, Manningham, Meachum, Royal then either a solid OG or a CB we can hit the draft with a plan to get a RB and either another OL or something else to help. S

[henrizzle]

yeah he played for the yankees for a while. Lol 29. He is out there playing with 18 year olds.

I will definitely watch it. We basically sent our core to the Pro Bowl. Just another chance for Dalton and Green to workout together along with Gresham.

We must absolutely hit FA. We can't sit back like in years past and let dust settle. We need to throw our hats in the mix for some important players. If anything, I think we'll go after a WR since there's so many to choose from. I would like to land a CB like Finnegan, but I see him heading to St. Louis. A smaller name that I'd like us to look at is Jason Jones from Tennessee. He could become one of those DT/DE hybrids that Marvin and Zim like. I'm sure Zim will want someone in FA and/or the draft.

Especially after last year.

I like Jones as well. There are so many FA this season. Finnegan is kind of a dbag dirty player but he is good. Just would rather get dude from Atl. Grimes I think

What would you think about Manningham/Meachum? Or even Colston

Finnegan is a dbag, but he gets into WRs' heads and throws their game off, as evidenced with his fight against Andre Johnson. I like Grimes, but he's injured a lot.

I'm hesitant about Mannigham. He's up and down with his catches. I know we're looking at a #2, but I want some reliable like TJ. Meachem looks good, but how much is him and how much is the Saints system?

Colston...........yeah, I'd be happy.

Yeah, he can play just not sure I would like his attitude around our players.

I think Manningham would be good when he is not on a team with so many options but I hear ya. Colston would be awesome.

[eoxyod]

I wouldn't be surprised to see him tumble in the draft.

I wouldn't be surprised to see him go in the top half of the first round. He's clearly the 3rd best QB,band some team will take a risk on age

Being serious. He's the best QB at the senior bowl. He's intelligent, has a good arm, anticipation, and accuracy. He can give a team a good 6-8 years at QB.

I really don't know. I did not even know who he was until a few days ago. Then saw that thread that people were sending him messages about his son dying. I said something nice on that matter. But now I am just going to avoid the whole thing. It is going to turn into a big mess.

[CloeHokie]

I have decided on my Hokie Man Crush I want us to draft this year. Of course there are the obvious choices of David Wilson and Hosley. But I want Jarrett Boykin. He is so under the radar its insane to me. This guy leads all VT WR in receptions. We have had a lot of talented guys here lately at WR and he has topped them. He is a powerful guy with big hands that goes up and gets the ball. And he can fight off tacklers to get extra yards. He should be available in the later rounds and could help us out at WR.

I'll take all 3

[CloeHokie]

I would too. Lol. That would be so funny.

Round 1 - 21 Wilson
Round 2 - 58? - Hosley If he falls
Round 4/5/6 - Boykin.

I am not quite sure where he will go. I would think rounds 3-6 but some places like CBS have him rated so low as like a 7th/FA. I just don't see how our all time leading WR could not go higher. And he has made so many nasty plays

Because being VTs all time WR doesn't mean much :P

He's not the most physically talented iirc, just a player. Would imagine him being solid for someone though, going somewhere in the 5th

I believe we get one in the draft and it'll be the 2nd round. I have a feeling that we won't value Miller enough for #17, but he'll go before 21. Such is the Bengal way.

[CloeHokie]

Anyone know about Vick Ballard? I drafted him in Madden and he was a perfect Benson fill in. Size, strength, stiff arm, and could block. Obviously its a video game but watching SB practice they commented on how well he pass blocks

Was just reading up on him some more. I like him. I don't like Jenkins. One of those things I can't explain. Also I want no part of Minnefield from UVA. He is not as good as advertised. He gets burnt a lot and gets a lot of PI calls. My brother went there and pointed it out to me then I watched him get burnt over and over in the VT game.

[CloeHokie]

Here is a first rounder done 1/26. Got a little sloppy towards end as we were boozing and wanted to wrap up. Lol. Still too early for a mock but it was fun. We did not do any trades though I think there will be some. Also I think someone will take Richardson that may not "need: him just as value but we went with needs mostly. Honestly I wanted the Jets to take Richardson and think they may after doing this. LT is old and Green is awful. They need to get back to running if they want to win. But I lost that argument and we moved on.

Now lets say the draft goes this way but the Jets take Richardson right in front of us. What do we do at 17?

[eoxyod]

I just don't like Dennard or Minnifield. Minnifield is strictly a zone corner and Dennard is slow and overly physical, which will get penalties called on him. Plus, he has no ball skills. Otherwise, I love this CB class. Deep as hell

I hate that mock. Lol. Disagree with where Blackmon, Jeffery, Tannenhill, and Brockers for sure

If he was available, I think we'd take Brockers though.

Well I think someone trades up for the STL pick. Otherwise I do not know what the heck they do. They just drafted Jason Smith and their other OT. Smith has been a bust but its going to be hard to take another early OT. And my friend is a Redskins fan that I did it with. He really thinks they like him. But its early. As for Jeffery, eh he just looks like a Jax player and they need a WR desperately.

I could see us taking a WR if it went something like that. Though I would be irate if we did.

[wolfkaosaun]

Now lets say the draft goes this way but the Jets take Richardson right in front of us. What do we do at 17?

I think the Bengals should take Jenkins if Richardson is gone. They can get Glenn with their 2nd pick and would upgrade their line pretty well.

I think Jenkins is the 2nd biggest need behind OG

Smith has been a bust but its going to be hard to take another early OT. And my friend is a Redskins fan that I did it with. He really thinks they like him. But its early. As for Jeffery, eh he just looks like a Jax player and they need a WR desperately.

I could see us taking a WR if it went something like that. Though I would be irate if we did.
I just think Tannenhill is just all potential right now. He needs to develop for a little while. And Jeffery is too fat. Lol. That'll drop him

The only WR I'd want to take in the first is Kendall Wright. And that's if no one else is available
Our Safties are not good. Nelson is a FA so we better sign him. Otherwise I am not a Crocker fan.
too bad there are no safeties in this draft really worth anything. Bleh

Jeffery has looked chuncky but he is still a top guy as of now. I think he still goes in the first. Maybe swap Flloyd and Jeffery.

I agree but you never know. I mean 2 QBs went way higher than I thought last year.

Reminds me of the year that S from Miami was the only one with a 1st round grade. And that was only because he was the only decent one. Cant remember his name right now dammit.

Are there no guys later at S worth looking at?

I think teams will look at Sea Mike Williams and shy away from him. He won't be able to be separation like he should

I still think Weeden goes in the first. I know it's crazy, but his age is his only big problem

The only safety who looks useful is Martin from OK State. And do you meam Meriweather from a while ago? He is so terrible. Lol

[Bengal Dude]

We definitely need to take a CB with one of our first three picks, if we don't address it in free agency. You never know what a player will be like after an Achilles injury, Clements played okay, but he wasn't good at the end with San Fran. I think he got lucky this year, but we need a new Joseph.

Yea, I agree, seems like they def need to get a CB for the exact reasons you said, that's exactly how I see it.

Reading the reports on the guys who should still be there when we pick I liked Minnifield but after watching tape idk. I love him against the run but he worries me against the pass. I watched a little tape on Kirkpatrick too and wasn't blown away but with both guys it was pretty limited what I was able to find so they could both well be better than I was able to ascertain in what I did see.

I gotta stop watching tape cuz I'm gonna end up not liking anyone lol. Just watched some of Barron and Martin and now I dont' think I like either one of them either, even though I want a safety. Barron I like against the pass but not so much against the run, Martin didn't impress me in either phase but again, same as the other guys, what I was able to find was fairly limited.

Seems everone is starting to talk about the draft, and me..well i have not really caught up on all the prospects, and missed the senior bowl as well.

But I do beleive we would be nuts not to draft a CB high.

[henrizzle]

A shutdown corner (or one close) is a necessity in Zim's defense. If Richardson isn't there, then I say we go CB/OG if DeCastro is already off the board or vice versa if he isn't.

But his age is HUGE. He is 7-8 years older than other QBs.

Would you expect a 20-21 year old QB to be better than he is now after 7 years of learning in the NFL? That is how I look at a first round QB or pick in general. You expect them to be on your team for a long time. He has 5-6 years of service. And as I said any other guy with first round potential has WAY more value. Weeden should do good in interviews. He is OLD. Like I said. I would look at Tannehill who is 5-6 years younger and expect him to be far greater when he is 28 than Weeden is now. I am not buying a first round pick for him at all.

No it was not Meriweather. I know the Giants took him. Hmmmmm.

If I think he can lead my team to a SB, I'll take him even with 7-8 years of service. Better than a bust who gives you a poor 2.

Well I just mean all the things you hear about how great he is in interviews etc. Being the best at the SB. I would hope that he would be given his age. And I would also think that I could get a younger guy that would be better than he is and in his prime at 28. Weeden is still a rookie in the NFL and in no way would be in his prime as a player for a few years at least. I think he could step in earlier as a result of his maturity and patience but I would just want to train and develop a QB with getting to his peak at an earlier age. I hear you, but I am not buying a team investing a 1st rounder on a 28 year old.

YES!!!!!!!!!!!

Kenny Phillips! Good call. That was an awful S class as well.

So what do we do about S then? I heard Coyle may go after Nelson. <_<

I'd take the top 3 on that list without hesitation. I'm pretty meh on Griffen, but he's better than what we have. Of course I'd want Nelson back too. Safeties typically don't cost much either, so we should be able to get one of the top ones

Yeah, he was dammit. Just found it on Roto archives.

And after looking at this draft class if we do not take the 1st rounder who I think is over valued then we have to do something in FA.

I think S and getting a #2 WR should be our main goals in FA. As well as getting some help at OG. However we should be able to get solid OG in rounds 1 as well as 2.

As always i miss all the discussions.

Just been so freaking busy as of late.


But to put in my input I would love to get Branch. Landry I like as well, but still feel ify about his health. And keeping Nelson is a must. We let him go and we are opening the door for yet another major hole to fill. That is why I feel like we will find a way to keep him. We just can't go into the offseason searching for a starting FS and SS.

[savagehenry54]

I don't like Barron. We need someone who is good in coverage. Barron is part of a dying breed of safeties better in the box

How much of tape/live game action of him have you watched?

What I've seen of him, I def prefer his ability vs. the pass to his run defense. Not saying he can't lay a good hit but I've seen him miss several tackles he should have made. To me, a safety worth taking in the first should consistently make tackles they are in position to make. Especially if they're going to get that "in the box" tag on them. I was much more impressed by his ability to make plays on the ball when it's in the air than his run defense for sho.

Sounds like a winner I'll take him. I've preferred him to Landry ever since I realized Landry ended the last two years on IR. And I want him even more now, sight unseen (really haven't seen him play much) after watching tape of Barron and finding Barron's run defense to be suspect, from what I saw anyway. At any rate, even if Branch is being over hyped right now, I'll take an overhyped NFL vet over an overhyped potential draft bust any day. Not saying Barron may not end up being a player, but he definitely doesn't make me drool or anything so give me the guy who's already proven at this level.

Watched 4 specific games. His cover skills are going to be meh, and he isn't the best tackler, but he's better against the run. I think a safety in this day's NFL needs to either be an excellent center fielder like Earl Thomas or an all around goodness like Eric Berry

Hmm, so basically if he's the best this year, it sounds like slim pickins at safety. I would take a true "in the box" guy, especially in Zimmer's system cuz he knows how to use them effectively. Like when Roy Williams first got here and was healthy for like 5 games. He was whackin' fools in the run game.

A versatile guy is nice and certainly preferable but also are more difficult to find. I think there's still a place in the league for a SS who can be an effective hammer in the run game. Especially on a team with mediocre LBs like ours.

[cinc4ever1]

I see everyone talking about the draft, offseason, etc... but I have just yet to get into the hype.

I truly don't know what is wrong with me. Maybe once it gets a bit closer I will talk about it more. Just so many subjects have been beaten to death.:lol:

Cortland Fin, Carl Nicks, or Grubbs , and a decent WR and I'm a very happy camper heading into the draft.

The only safety I kind of like s Martin, but only in maybe the 3rd. Meh

And I disagree with the last part. The lack of a cover safety has killed us forever. Every other one of our safeties can play the run well, but only Nelson could cover competently. Hell, Mays can be effective in the box. But a center fielder is much more important

The way teams sling the ball around these days I understand where you're coming from.

Thing is, if all our safeties were playing the run well, I can't tell. When Williams first got here in 09.... that's a safety playing the run well. I ain't seen it before or since in stripes.(except for Fulcher)

In fact, it's rare to begin with. But it's beautiful when it happens. A SS that annihilates ball carriers in the middle of the field, be it a rushing attempt or a dump off reception.

Situation defense will account for a lot of what the offense is trying to do. When three receivers or less are on the field....Gimmee a SS who will smack your Ray Rice or LeSean McCoy in the face in short order.

I think the offseason will be key to get hyped for the draft. If we sit on our hands and sign no one exciting, then the draft won't be as exciting since we'll know that we're heading into the season with some unfilled holes.

Your right that is the key to a more exciting draft. But I do think we will sign a few players, just don't know if it will be anything out the ordinary. Last year we went after a few decent named players, and were more active then most offseasons. But you have to wonder if it had more to do with the shortened offseason.

So I think we plug a hole with a vet call him a starter, and draft for the future and maybe a few starters for the upcpming season. I still question if we have our stater at SS or not, we never did figure that out. Also I will have my eye on Simpson.

I think we'll go after Branch and maybe Nicks. We've got the salary floor coming into play and even when that wasn't a factor last year we tried to get Whitner and Lutui. We upgrade our starters at SS and LG, that frees us up to go corner and running back in the first and we could still get a really good guard prospect in the second to be the heir apparent for Bobbie Williams at RG. In my dreams we sign Micheal Bush along with the aforementioned players and get a corner 17 and then go best front seven defender available at 21.

If I'm Mike Brown, that's exactly what I'd do. I'd sign Branch, Bush and Nicks, then go corner at 17, best front seven defender available at 21, best interior offensive lineman available at 53 in the second......Boom, Super Bowl LOL.

[Scarlet&Orange]

I remember so many people here were just like, "huh," when we took Joseph.

I actually really liked Joseph then, he had good coverage corner written all over him. I just wondered if we could coach him up because IIRC he was still a bit raw.

[Scarlet&Orange]

It seems most of us in here are pretty much on the same page, at least in the same neighborhood anyway. I'd like to have Griffin or Landry but Branch is a guy who I think is capable at SS and an upgrade. Plays very well in the box though hasn't shown his ability to cover as well as maybe he should have to this point. Don't get me wrong he's not been a big problem in Oakland in that regard but he hasn't been as good as I think his talent says he should be. Barron isn't really a target for me in the 1st but in a worse case scenario he's IMO still an upgrade. Yes he likes to hit instead of tackle (something I'd hope Zimmer could get him to stop) and his coverage ability at the NFL level isn't much more than like Eoxy said "meh" but considering what we have had lately he has enough instinct to become a similar player to Branch (well the Branch we have seen to this point anyway).

At OG Nicks is clearly the cream of the crop but Grubbs I think has gotten a bad rap over a couple of poor performances lately. After those 2 I actually think Chilo Rachal has some game in him he really reminds me alot of Bobbie Williams when he came to Cincy. I'd be content with Rachal at RG if we could get another starter at LG. I'm afraid we are gonna have to live with a guy like Rachal being the only major addition to the O-line. The Bengals hate investing 1st round or FA money on interior OL (and not surprisingly Safety as well).

I don't see the need for a FA WR unless the Bengals are gonna give up on Simpson which is I guess a possibility. I mean the guy has come this far, why shouldn't we expect him to improve further (especially if Gruden has anything to do with it) and I think he will be cheaper than most FA WR's. But if they want to part ways with him I see Mario Manningham as the proper guy to go after. The Giants now have Nicks and Cruz at WR and most likely won't want to pay Manningham a big salary to boot. Plus he fits into this style of offense almost perfectly.

RB is a big problem and I think a place where the Bengals are ready to invest heavily now. I doubt they are capable of getting one of those Elite FA's who will no doubt be retained. Though ya gotta wonder if Forte isn't a possibility with the way the Bears have flinched at giving him a LTC and then he got injured which kind of further strengthened their position. But if they don't they are gonna have to get a good one in the draft and I haven't seen enough of the RB's to get a clear read on anyone just yet. Beyond Richardson that is, but I think he goes to the Jets right before at worst. I'd trade up a couple spots to secure his services if I haven't gotten one in FA, but again I haven't seen enough of the other RB's (except Polk and Rainey) to feel confident or not in them.

CB I need to take a look at this Gilmore a bit more apparently because after Claibourne and Jenkins I'm not enthralled with the others so far (Kirkpatrick mainly). And I doubt they go out and get a FA because they have Clements and Hall under contract for another season. They know they need someone who can run down the field with some of these guys like Wallace but I think they believe they can get by without spending big there one more year. But they will likely take a corner in the 1st I think.

LB I think we need a talent infusion at. I really like Hightower in the draft, so far I have yet to find anything about him that I don't like. I'm waiting for combine numbers to backup what I think about him, he's got it all. This isn't a serious area of need because I think we can get by without a major addition but sooner or later something has to give here. And the fact the Bengals shy away form OG's and Safeties in the 1st and if Richardson is gone I can see a CB and something other than obvious in the 1st.

(In addition to re-signing our key FA's)
IMO Ideal - Nicks, Griffin, Forte, DeCastro, Jenkins (perhaps Gilmore)
IMO Content - 2 orh 3 of the above and some combination of below
IMO Acceptable though not sure it will make us better enough - Rachal, Branch, (RB?), possibly Gilmore, Hightower (amongst some others)
IMO Not acceptable- Livings, Williams, Bush/Lynch etc., Kirkpatrick/Dennard, Crocker or someone Similar

[cinc4ever1]

I think we'll go after Branch and maybe Nicks. We've got the salary floor coming into play and even when that wasn't a factor last year we tried to get Whitner and Lutui. We upgrade our starters at SS and LG, that frees us up to go corner and running back in the first and we could still get a really good guard prospect in the second to be the heir apparent for Bobbie Williams at RG. In my dreams we sign Micheal Bush along with the aforementioned players and get a corner 17 and then go best front seven defender available at 21.

You have the same ideas as I do. But it will be derby for Nicks who will comand alot of money.

I'm not really a fan of Rachal from what I've heard from 49er fans. That and he's had some really dreadful performances, including getting pulled for a while.

Like I've said with Gilmore, he needs some technical help but you can see the physical attributes and college production

This LB class is kind of underwhelming. The MLB class is dreadful, and others are just kinda meh. I think Upshaw would be picked by Marvin if he's there because of his tweener obsession, though

How much have you watched of Kuechly? I watched some and was not impressed. I don't care if he's not the best athlete ever if he can get it done in the game. But for all the top 15 to 20 talk he's getting I'm just like "Where's the awesome?" when I watched him. Again, as with any of these guys the tape I've watched is limited but geez, he scouting reports are glowing and I just didn't see it. He looks like a good ballplayer but I think he may be a bit over hyped.

[savagehenry54]

You have the same ideas as I do. But it will be derby for Nicks who will comand alot of money.

Can probably count us out then LOL. Which may not be so terrible if we can at least get SS and RB addressed in FA, then you've got reportedly great prospects like DeCastro and Glenn in the draft.

[cinc4ever1]

I would be pleased with Castro, but I get the feeling we will be out of reach. Glenn I would be fine with. Plus we have a track record of drafting Bulldogs, so it almost seems like he could be our man. Aside from the draft I still truly think we still need to sign a vet.

I see the same thing. He gets eaten by blocks too much and never really makes tackles at or behind the LoS

[henrizzle]

Plus he versatile and can play tackle which we love. definitely a bengals pick.

I don't think there's any doubt that either one of the best guards coming out this year would be a tremendous upgrade over Livings. And hopefully, if we get one of them, they live up to the hype and prove to be not just an upgrade from terrible but certifiably bad a**.

Well I don't know what you have heard from 9ers fans but if it's an on the field thing perhaps it's fixable. I mean it was stated when Bobbie was a FA that he couldn't pass block but apparently the Bengals (I know bit of a shocker) was able to coach him up and fix the issue he was having, turned him into a Pro Bowl level player there for a few years. Of course we are talking about the Eagles who certainly aren't renowned for being adept at coaching up OLman. The only reason I even suggest picking up Rachal is because pickings are slim in FA and he has some solid talent to work with, he's young, may be pretty reasonably priced (i.e. in the Bengals wheelhouse), fits their mold and doesn't cost a draft pick, allowing us more room to maneuver in the draft. If I could count on the Bengals being aggressive in FA or the draft and going after a finished product then I wouldn't even bring this guy up except maybe as a backup who could surprise. But Livings is subpar and Bobbie is pretty well toast, things need done.

This scouting report sounds like a guy who has the talent to be very good but needs to improve his skills. Has things you can't teach good quickness, body control, power & decent range.

Chilo Rachal Scouting Report - Scouts, Inc.

Comment: Since being drafted by the 49rs in the second round of the 2008 draft Rachal has moved into a starting role at the right guard position in San Francisco. In 2010 he played in 15 games with 14 starts and made some nice strides as he developed his blocking skills and techniques. He is a massive, powerful drive blocker that can bend at the knees to keep his pad level down and leverage blocks. He has improved on his hand use but still needs to do a better job of keeping his hands up and ready to strike when in pass protection. He has adequate lateral range but will overextend a bit when reacting to counter moves when out in space. He shows above average initial quickness and body control when coming out on the pull but is a bit inconsistent when it comes to zeroing in on his target as he turns upfield to seal off the corner. He has big, powerful hands that can control and steer opponents on by the pocket once he gets a good fit.

[Scarlet&Orange]

Wow I read through that and you could have made a mint betting exactly the opposite of his BOOM/BUST predictions. I hope he doesn't get paid to do his job.

My favorite part is one of his reasons Gabbert would be successful "He feels pressure", yeah unfortunately (for Jax) he feels it even when there is none. I though Gabbert (after watching some footage) had bust written all over him for just that reason, guy is scared to death.

Honestly it sounds like a PA type of guy so I would not be shocked if we did go after him.

We have to get some OG in here via FA and the draft for sure.

[Scarlet&Orange]

Ok more on Rachal. Looks like he does have some issues in pass protection still that need worked out. Ironically enough he got benched due to the pressure he was allowing against the Bengals, (Atkins?) nothing to be ashamed of there. But Pro Football Focus rated him as the best run blocking guard in football at one point. Jeez the poor guy got benched one time for missing practice time to be with his newborn son (believe that was in '10).

Here's a link with some info on him. Looks like the Skins could be in the mix for his services as his OL coach from before '11 is now with them.

I thought it went smooth last year. Probally the fastest board mock ever. Just have to do exactly what I did last year and it should run well again.

How many members have changes there names since that last draft. I was just going through the old draft, and I see different names involved. Anyhow that draft was smooth as ever from what I seen. Almost everyone showed up, besides maybe a few late arrivals.

The problem isjust people not coming in. Then again, you ran it so well that anyone who wasn't in didn't get too much time to make for it (Mean that well, because screw the slow people when they have a lot of time to prepare for it)

I agree we really can't and don't have the time to wait on slow people. And I can understand something coming up that you can't make it, but at least send in big boards. The ones that didn't show did send me big boards and that helped speed things up.

I remember the board mock I ran 2 years ago, and practiaclly no one showed, but sent big boards. That wasn't much fun for me. I felt as if I was running the board mock alone. So I hope that never happens again

I agree we really can't and don't have the time to wait on slow people. And I can understand something coming up that you can't make it, but at least send in big boards. The ones that didn't show did send me big boards and that helped speed things up.

I remember the board mock I ran 2 years ago, and practiaclly no one showed, but sent big boards. That wasn't much fun for me. I felt as if I was running the board mock alone. So I hope that never happens again



bfine32 had them last time. Hopefully this will be the year I get the Bengals.:thumbsup:

We can always use another good member to run a team.

We don't start the board mock until April, maybe a week or 2 before the draft itself.

Sweet, how far in advance will I know the team I'm picking for?

[dr1441]

As always you can give me as many teams as you want. I can and will do the homework for most teams. So if you need the help let me know.

Speaking of all this, the Lounge mock should be complete first round and normal 7 round Bengal draft like usual

You will know a week in advance or longer before we start the draft, so you can study up and even do a few trades.

Will do. Not sure if it will be BengalDude or I who will be running the draft. We kinda take turns running it.

We will have to wait and see, but if you have been invited and have been active and showing up in the board mock, then you will always get your invite.

Bengals in Toronto. You will get a invite since you are 1 of the members who is always productive.

Hen. We will have to wait and see what happens.

Sweetness. You made a mock? I don't believe I have seen one of yours, so definitely will check it out
