Wouldn't mind it except for Matt Elam. He can't tackle at all; he just launches like Taylor Mays. Either Vacarro, Reid.

I like Tony Jefferson alot as well especially when it comes to overall skills.

[Natikid873]

Definitely like Teo. As for Lattimore, I feel we might have to trade up for him. Which is very unlikely for us to do. But I like all the second round talent in this class. Ball, Randle, Ellington. I'd take either one of those guys. Vacarro is good as well. Gholston I'd take. Honey badger - nope.

[wizbengal21]

Good draft top four will start on this team or see major playing time

[mulligan]

The Honey Badger is 5'7" tall and he can't cover well.

I wouldn't go for a gadget player in the 4th.

I would throw a 6th rounder at him just because of talent alone. I think that he'd be a very solid nickel/punt returner.

I think Elam is playing alot more under control but his ball skills bother me. The safety position has alot of talent this year but you have to ask yourself who is versatile enough to play both spots. There's alot of fools gold at the safety position this year. I have to say my favorite to ultimately become Bengals out of the group would have to be Willams, Vaccaro.Jefferson or Rambo because all would fit. I would be in the minority but I would love to draft two of them to be feared around the league. Right now are we feared on the back end?

Like it except for 1 and 6a. When Cook returns and the line gets some time together it will be just fine.

After Mathieu's issues, I wouldn't touch him.

I think its the same deal as with Burfict. If it doesnt work let him walk no risk. Heck we drafted Boone Herring in the 6th and he can't even get a shot as bad as we need spark at the position. I really would like to see him get another look.

[Draftdruggie]

Two ends seem to be a bit of a stretch but I think we will loose Geathers and maybe someone else as well. Probably will resign MJ would be my thought. Last draft we did add 2 DT which suprised me so who knows. Those two would be great with alot of upside on each especially Hunt who I think is very underrated because hes raw. I think Hunt has blocked like 15 PAT's in his college career which is sick!

It's not the same as Burfict. Burfict's issues were not legal in nature and we did not use a draft pick on him.

[Hammerstripes]

Mathieu is well worth a 5th round or later pick.

He would instantly electrify our special teams. Other than that, he doesn't offer much.

This seems like a big risk to me. The Bengals could draft a solid depth player in the 5th round. Or even a STer that doesn't have a troubled past.

What leads you to believe that Mathieu has changed his lifestyle? After getting kicked out of the LSU football program, Mathieu was arrested for marijuana possession on October 25th, 2012.

Odell Thurman electrified our LB corp for one season, and then never again.

Gholston in the third seems ok.

He looks a lot better than his cousin...

[bradfritz21]

Has anyone been watching Te'o?

Shows no instincts, anticipation, or playmaking abilities............. he looks like he'll just be another Rey.

Gholston is not okay in the third.
Saying he is better than Vernon is like saying Herpes is better than Syphilis

Did you not see the picture of him?

He is a cyborg for crying out loud!

Seriously?

We must not have been watching the same Te'o. I'm watching the one that plays for Notre dame.

6 INTs for a LB is pretty good.

Yes, I have been watching Te'o. He looks dominating.

He is Samoan and has a tattoo similar to Rey, so I see what you mean.

He's from Hawaii. Slightly different, as he doesn't wear long hair.

And yes, Te'o's doing great this year.
