Early 2012 Mock Draft

[vancelot23]

There's probably not a ton of difference, but as it stands now (which can change with combine, interviews, workouts) Miller will be drafted higher. He's considered the better prospect.

 

[ckhokie]

I'd be fine if the bengals had either

 

[vancelot23]

Anybody is an upgrade over Benson.

 

[Tubbs1518]

I get you like Wilson but those stats are irrelevant. Is Monte Ball better than Trent Richardson? The stats dont lie. And with those stats he is WAY better than DW.

 

[Servo]

I like Miller better, but agree with Holkie that they're pretty similar as prospects. Both are roughly the same size. Both have good speed and look just stout enough to be every down backs. Similar running styles. I think Wilson goes 2nd round and Miller is a late first/early second guy at this point. I'd be happy with either (especially if we draft a good interior lineman in the first round). Both guys can make plays catching the ball which I think would be a really nice attribute in the Bengals offense.

I agree with Servo, those 2 arent that far off and both will go early, certainly not worth arguing over it. My thinking is the Bengals have a ton of money they must spend more so now that they dont have to worry about Palmer being on the books, Simpson will be a easy sign, I can see them stocking up on offense in free agency, grabbing a RB and OG before the draft and just grabbing talent in the draft, me personally I want them to draft more pass rushers early.

Tubbs actually is a big VT fan. He applied there after high school I believe, but more of a pipe dream than reality to go that far away.

He couldn't get the slow kid scholly? Too bad.

 

[vancelot23]

I think he was accepted but due expense and distance stayed close to home.

Good thing. That asian kid coulda blown his head off. That woulda been bad.

We just need to make sure we make the best pick possible in each round that nets us the following positions:

S, CB, OLB, OG, RB

I am pleased with Green, Simpson, Shipley, Hawkins, Caldwell at WR. I wouldn't mind adding a good veteran WR through FA, but not necessary in the draft this year.

Is Boling the solution to LG or RG? Maybe FA might be the way to go to get our LG also. Filler vet WR and starting LG.

I think we should draft:

#1a Safety / Cornerback
#1b Cornerback / Safety
#2 Running Back
#3 Outside LB
#4 Offensive Guard

 

[Servo]

I'm pulling for one of the first round picks to be an elite LG prospect. Yes, it would be ideal to sign a Nicks or Grubbs but we all know it's not going to happen. More than likely they'll sign another OG akin to Max-Jean...I already forgot the rest. So the way I see it upgrading the O-line is a must. As far as WR goes, we have so many picks that they can afford to take a guy maybe in the 3rd that should be able to at the lest push Simpson. I'm pulling for the first three picks to go...

1A OG
1B CB
2 RB

 

[kramer1]

And move Hall to safety FFS.

 

[ckhokie]

Good thing. That asian kid coulda blown his head off. That woulda been bad.

Nice, dick.

 

[ckhokie]

I think we should draft:

#1a Safety / Cornerback
#1b Cornerback / Safety
#2 Running Back
#3 Outside LB
#4 Offensive Guard

I like this draft order. Dont we have 2 3rd round picks?

 

[kramer1]

Nice, dick.

Your comment doesn't even make sense. Did a psycho not go on a rampage there at the time Tubbs would have been in attendance or not?

 

[Cincyfan78]

clearly, you're not a draft nerd. it's never too early to talk draft.

Wrong. I love the draft. One of my favorite times of the year.

However, in the past 30+ years...draft talk always comes to early for bengal fans.

It's nice to know that, for once in a blue moon, you can put it off for a bit and actually enjoy the team playing.



Perspective.

 

[Servo]

I enjoy watching the team and talking about the draft...looks like I'm not the only one.

 

[kramer1]

I can't stand the draft chatter. None of you know what you're talking about anyways. Seriously... I did my 1st round in literally 5 minutes and beat August who invested 9 months into his.

 

[vancelot23]

Kramer is the rain man of mock drafting.

You're the new Todd McShay.

Speaking of draft experts, remember when Mike Mayock was suggesting that Cam Newton shouldn't be a 1st round pick and that the Panthers should just trade the pick and start Claussen. Why do these guys have jobs?
