Official Bengals Draft Thread

  • I wanted DeCastro at 17, but Joe Reedy from the Enquirer is reporting "They won't draft a guard in the first round." Typical Bengals.

    So, at 17, I'm hoping for Mark Barron (safety from Alabama; long-shot that he'll still be available) or Stephon Gilmore (CB from South Carolina). They also really like Michael Floyd (WR, Notre Dame) but it's unlikely he'll still be available here. If they are patient, one of the players they really like will fall right in their lap at 17. Don't do anything crazy and trade up.

    At 21, I really don't know. If they don't get a corner at 17, Dre Kirkpatrick from 'Bama could be the best option (if he's still around). I've seen a lot of people predict the WR from Baylor, Kendall Wright, here. Should be interesting. As always, I just hope they don't blow it.

    In the second round, I'm hoping for RB Lamar Miller from Miami. Chances are good this year's second-round pick won't be nearly as good as last year's, though. Same deal for both of the first-round picks, compared to last year's first-rounder. Man did they clean up last year with AJ Green and then Andy Dalton. Set themselves up for years of success. (Well, they are the Bengals. Years of possible success, with some heartbreak mixed in thanks to Mike Brown's ineptitude.)

  • Agree Dave, I am all for DeCastro at 17 but it doesn't seem likely with some of the articles coming out on bengals.com. One today was about Marvin saying they have neglected the defensive side of the ball in the first round long enough (3 drafts I believe - Andre Smith, Gresham and A.J.).

    I don't see the thought behind it though, the D has been far outperforming the O up until this past year and you can still make the case the D had the better year. I am all for shoring up the O-Line which they might think they have already done with the signing of the 2 OG in free agency but DeCastro is a stud.

    Needs I think would be OG, WR, CB and RB. As long as we go in that direction I will not have much to complain about. I do not like Wright from Baylor though for some reason. Lamar Miller would be fantastic in the 2nd! Definitely looking forward to tomorrow night!

  • No Decastro!? Figures. I really hope they grab Gilmore at 17 then. I'm skeptical of Kirkpatrick keeping himself out of trouble. I'm sure Floyd will be gone, but I don't like Kendall Wright all that much. He may surprise me, but I think he was a product of RGIII.

    Sorry about that! (Forgot about your thread.) We'll use this one just for the draft, then go back to yours after the three-day festivity has wrapped up.

  • 10 YEAR ALL-PRO'S dont come around every year...if DeCastro is available its a no-brainer...he would be the best OL pick since Munoz...I like Hill with the second pick and Miller with the 3rd...THAT would be a helluva draft and today it remains possible...so dont screw it up Mike Brown, let Marvin pick
