I was pretty angry at first with passing on Decastro and taking Zeitler, but I'm warming up to it. We've nailed some of these late round picks, taking the BPA. Drafted a ton of talent thus far.

I would rather have Zeitler and Thompson than DeCastro.

A. No other grade is even remotely arguable. They absolutely killed this draft from rounds 1-5.

They could draft a pair of 3.5' foot midgets in rounds 6 and 7 and I wouldn't care.

Well we don't have a 7th rounder. We traded it for Mays.

I've been a Bengals fan and a draft nerd my entire life and this is the best I've felt about a Bengals draft. They invested in the interior lines and went BPA instead of letting need dictate who they draft. I've been wanting them to take this approach for a long, long time. Even traded down to pick up Brandon Thompson (who reminds me alot of Geno Atkins). Increadibly pleased with the draft.

agree. The more I think about the Zeitler pick the more I like it. Also, Kirkpatrick is a stud. People point out that he didnt have many INT's but he was very rarely thrown at.

They can chance it on Burfect (sp?) here with the 6th round pick. This is the time to use it on the "questionable, but highly talented" player. If he sinks, nothing wasted.

I hope not. I'd like to see them take a RB but we'll see...Chris Polk would be worth a flyer

I could be wrong, but I just don't see them taking a RB this year. I think they will sign a lesser F/A next year and then draft a RB in 2013 to eventually replace BJGE.

BOOM Herron. Solid pick here. Can't complain about this at all.

I was always told that corners with a high number of INT isn't always a good sign. It can sometime mean they are more worried about making themselves look good so they tend to get burnt trying to make the highlight play. Of course this is not always the case. Play the man, not the ball.

Boom Herron I'm iffy on. On one hand, he has had some injury issues. But on the other hand, he is a sixth round pick, so it won't kill us.

Bengals and Eagles have had the best drafts IMO. Nice work for you guys.

Marvin won't start a single one of them. You can take that to the bank.

Well to be fair to what Kramer is saying, Bengals fans do seem to have a regular pattern of getting their hopes up every offseason only for them to get crushed during the season.

Ah well, hell of a draft!
