After watching Simpson, it's clear he aint a #2

[Dr.Funke]

WR needs to be strongly addressed in either FA or the Draft.


At this point, the extra 1st rounder is increasing becoming a higher pick, so the idea that the Bengals get both picks in the 18-24 Range is becoming very probable

With 2 picks, 18-24 range, I think a WR and a CB are the biggest plays. Michael Floyd and Janoris Jenkins are good selections.

If Flloyd is gone, then i stil like Burifect as a LB. Then in Round 2, take the best RB/WR available.

a CB in Round 1 is 10000% a lock. I'd bet my Battle Beast Collection on it

Here comes the Notre Dame homerism..... You also wanted to draft Golden Tate.

 

[Dr.Funke]

I dont think its homerism to want a guy projected at 14 at 18-22. Ya, tate was a bust. Glad they didnt take him. So, because one school produces a bust at a position, I guess no one should ever look back at that school to fill a need.


Damn, with Sanchez, Palmer and Leinart all NFL Busts....No team better take a chance at barkley.

 

[Dr.Funke]

Floyd is 6-3 225. Tate was 5-10 195 Lbs.

There really are not any similarities other than College. But hey.

 

[cincygrad]

Floyd has already had his issues with alcohol, so he'll fit right in. Sign him up.

In all honesty, I do like Floyd as a number 2 receiver. He's big, physical and seems to catch the ball well.

 

[Dr.Funke]

Issues with Alcohol? He got a DUI when he was 20 years old and drank beers in college.

Issues with Alcohol? He got a DUI when he was 20 years old and drank beers in college.

While everyone drinks in college, very few rack up three alcohol related tickets in less than 2 years. Shows a lack of judgment on his part and it's pretty clear the police around cincy love finding a bengal with a lack of judgment.

I like Floyd and he'd be an awesome #2 WR. I'd rather take an interior lineman there, though. Livings is just terrible. Bobbie is average at best (and regressing). I'm good keeping SImpson around. He's a frustrating player but I'm a fan.

 

[Cincyfan78]

Williams is gone after this year. His contract is up, I believe.

Floyd worries me with his attitude, his history, etc....not sure I would want him on a team that just finally got right with dumping TO, Ocho, and Palmer....

I think the first thing to do is hit the F/A market hard for need and see what happens there first. That will help dictate where the team needs to go in the draft.

 

[vancelot23]

I don't want to spend another 1st round pick on a WR. I'd rather sign a FA.

 

[cincygrad]

I'm not in love with any of the FAs that will actually be available. Who do you like?

 

[vancelot23]

I'm not sure who is available exactly. I'd have to see a complete list. I know a few names have been posted, but it's usually just the big names.

 

[vancelot23]

I don't think drafting another one in the 1st round, when we have obvious needs is smart.

 

[cincygrad]

The last three FA wide receivers we have signed were Lavernius Coles, Antonio Bryant and Terrell Owens. Not sure FA is the best route either.

 

[vancelot23]

That's because Mike Brown is an idiot and signs guys with obvious issues, instead of signing a quality player.

 

[vancelot23]

We definitely do not need another WR with our 1st round pick. I'd rather just keep Simpson.

 

[cincygrad]

All the more reason NOT to count on FA.

Mike Brown IS still the owner.

 

[kramer1]

We should draft a WR in the 3rd or 4th. Drafting one in the 1st is almost always a mistake. We got lucky with Green.

We talked about the FA WR's about a month ago....Colston, Garcon..probably out of our league (although we have the money).

Wide Receivers:

Harry Douglas – ATL
Derrick Mason – BAL
Brandon Jones – BAL
Roscoe Parrish – BUF

Derrick Williams – DET (R)
David Anderson - HOU

Isaiah Stanback – SEA
Ted Ginn Jr – SF
Josh Morgan – SF
Dominique Zeigler – SF

Malcolm Kelly – WAS
Roydell Williams – WAS

I like Harry Douglas, Sweed, Wayne, Bowe, Royal, Colston, and Garcon.

 

[vancelot23]

Now that's a list. Good work Kramer. I want nothing to do with Bowe after his TO impersonation against Pittsburgh. Fuck him. I like Douglas. I like Wayne. Garcon and Colston are out of our range. Earl Bennet would be nice. Robert Meachem would add a major speed threat.

 

[kramer1]

Yeah, there's plenty of legit talent available thru FA. No need to gamble a high draft pick on a WR when we have other, more serious needs.
