Gio is a stud, and I like Franklin out of UCLA coming into the draft also. I also liked Montee Ball, Lattimore and Kniles Davis. I am very glad we have Gio now though. After getting to watch him so much more while playing with teh Bengals, his attitude of I don't care what other people think, he is humble, respectful, hard working, talented, and fast as hell. I love the kid, and if I had to do all over again, I would not have changed much on this team during the draft process, except maybe in the 4th round I would have selected Johnathan Franklin instead of Sean Porter and then just got rid of BJGE and replaced Burkhead with someone else in the 6th round since we already selected two RB's.
Could you imagine a combo of Bernard and Franklin with a jet package on the field that included both of them?
AJ Green wide, Gresham and Eifert lined up at TE's, and a backfield with Bernard and Franklin in a proset and able to run or go for passes from that. It would have been deadly.
Oh well, still very happy with Gio and glad he is a Bengal.
