Election Night Mock

[BobJones4980]

I think we get 2 more wins and finish the season 5-11. I think thats gonna put us anywhere from 3-7(Ill go with pick 5). Oakland has a similar record. Reasoning behind this is the fact we only have 1 WR, no RBs and a lack of pass rush.

FA :

Andre Smith
Micheal Johson
Newman/Pacman - pick one
Thomas Howard
Brian Leonard

Additions :

-Dwight Freeney - A semi realistic signing for the Bengals with an aging star that will come at a reasonable price.

- Then a few back ups / veteran patch ups.

Draft :

1. Jarvis Jones OLB Georgia - We get one of the top Defensive players available in Jones and he will fill the hole left by Moch/Lawson and be a big part in upgrading this Defense.



2.Giovanni Bernard RB North Carolina - After seeing him mentioned a few times Ive started to pay a little more attention to the UNC games and I have liked what Ive seen, good speed, quickness and can be tough to bring down, also has been a good punt returner.



2..Cordarrelle Patterson WR Tennessee - We dont have a #2 WR this year and it has really hurt us, Binns and Tate will either be gone or on the bench, #1 AJ - #2 Patterson - Slot is gonna be shared by Sanu/Hawkins with Sanu getting most of the snaps. Hawkins has fizzled out and should just be kept around for certain plays not a full time starter.



3. Baccari Rambo SS Georgia - Mays, Clements, Miles or Crocker aren't the answers at SS, Rambo is a playmaker and if here should be an easy choice. If Rambo isnt here Williams or Lester would be other choices.



4. Mario Benavides C Louisville - Im sure that Cook will be our starter next year and with competent Guards he may look alot better but for the sake of depth and the future we need to find a Center to develop and Mario has been good in pass and run games and with time could develop into a solid starter for us.




Roster Changes :

- Thomas Howard - Vontaze Burifct - Jarvis Jones will be our starting LBs.

- Gio Bernard will be our starting RB with BJGE either released or used in a limited role.

- Patterson takes over the #2 WR spot and Sanu becomes the full time starter at Slot after Hawkins fizzled out through the season, Hawkins is retained just used in a more limited role.

- Starting Secondary will be Hall - R. Nelson - Rambo - Dre, with the backups being J. Allen, Newman or Pacman, and Prater/FA pick up.

That draft would be boobies.

No complaints here.

I bet one RB goes in the first. That RB may be Randle, but my guess is it would be Bernard. He's so much more explosive...that's what we need.

[OchoCincos]

I'm OchoCincos and I support this mock!

Jones, Bernard, Patterson, and Rambo would be very good pickups and possible immediate starters for our team in 2013.

[SunsetBengal]

I like it! Although, I doubt that Rambo will be there in the 3rd.

[ibengals]

I'm not a HUGE fan of Rambo, but I'd definitely take him in the 3rd. Any draft with Jarvis Jones gets my seal of approval.

It's just a shame Jones isn't going to be there when we pick.

Lets see how the season goes, at this point im confident for the KC game and the rest i could see us losing unless we all of a sudden find a Rb, wr2, and a pass rush.
