Why would we draft Dennard Robinson and Geno Smith? That's like drafting Lattimore and Ball.

I'm thinking Dennard would probably be a WR@ the pro level. Maybe worth a bone in the 6th although the last experiment didnt go to well w/ Reggie.

I think he will be a WR as well. I like the draft if it were realistic because you have the Bengals getting 4 first round prospects in Jones, Powell, Lattimore, and Gholston. If Gholston goes outside of Round 1 I would be shocked so yeah 4th round might be unrealistic right now but it would be nice.

Powell is gone for the season w/ a torn ACL in spring ball so he probably will return for the following season.

CB in the 3rd? In 2013, Hall, Dre, Allen, and Prater will still be under contract. If Pacman has a good year, avoids injury, avoids legal issues, I suspect that the Bengals will offer him a 2 year deal. I could see drafting a SS in the 3rd.

2 DEs? I am okay with a DE in the 1st. But I don't see how another DE fits on the roster unless you are increasing the number of DEs to 5 on the active roster. Even with 5 DEs, it will be crowded adding the 1st round DE. MJ will probably be extended. Geathers may be offered a reduced contract. Both Dunlap & Anderson will be still under contract. I don't see a 4th round pick beating out Geathers or Anderson though.

In 2013, I see the Bengals needs as MIKE (Rey?), SAM (FA?), rotational DE, RB, SS2, C2, & WILL2.

I could definately see Gholston slipping to the early to mid 2nd round. He has a better motor than his cousin Vernon but its a shame his last name might be a factor in where hes drafted.

I could see that happening too, just because Vernon was such a bust.

I think Elam or Lester would be better safeties for us because they play better in the box, seem to be bigger playmakers, and are bigger ball hawks.

I don't know if I'd pick an end that early because we don't know what we'll have in MJ, but, then again, you can never have too many pass rushers, and what else would we use it on?

Maybe we'd use it on Montee Ball, but who knows.

[Kyle_828]

I think we should work on Safties, OLB's, and DE's with the first 4 picks. Then a RB if BJGE doesn't pan out..

Where is Vernon now?

At the Very least the guy should open a gym and train atheletes.

I'm not sure if hes even on an NFL roster anymore but the guy was a heck of an athlete @ OSU. Certainly had scouts fooled.
