Bengals Offseason talk (general)

[flamingrey]

I'd like to pick up a veteran WR instead of going with another young one. A veteran who knows what he's doing will help more with Dalton's growth.

 

[Tubbs1518]

Ask Matt Ryan how much Julio Jones helped his growth. I say we need to go defense heavy personally. DE, CB, S, S should be our first 4 picks unless someone just falls in our lap.

So are you going on record saying you believe we'll have a top 5 pick this upcoming draft?

 

[Tubbs1518]

Kramer said top 8 so I gave him the names of people that COULD go top 8 and I was talking under that premise. Do I believe we will be top 5 personally? No. But impact WRs can be found later. Randy Moss was the 18th pick. Da'Rick Rogers is being talked about as a Julio Jones clone and will probably fall do to character concerns.

 

[flamingrey]

What are the chances of an impact WR later? Even if they end up good, they usually have growing pains. I'll take a proven veteran over another rookie to help Dalton play up.

 

[kramer1]

I think we have an excellent shot at the first pick in the draft.

 

[DanBengalfan]

our defense smells bad mofo... real bad.

 

[Cincyfan78]

I think the offense will be ok.

Defense needs a serious infusion of talent and youth in the secondary and LB positions.

The DL continues to be a strength, even with Dunlap only playing 3 games a year due to a banged up vagina.

 

[ckhokie]

While our DL is better than our secondary and LB corps, I would hardly call it a strength. We got VERY little pressure on the QB. I think our entire D needs an overhaul this offseason, but we could really use a bonafide pass rusher

Yup. It was abundantly clear against Baltimore that Atkins cannot do it by himself, and Dunlap cannot seem to stay on the field. Even if Dunlap could stay healthy, we still need a 3rd legit pass rusher.

 

[DanBengalfan]

what about Ahmad Bradshaw as a pickup, he was released by the giants.

pros: he's better than BJGE, and can share time with him to prevent injury
cons: keeps getting hurt, depending on the teams bidding, he may cost too much.

DO IT! NYG cut him for 3.75 WE HAVE THAT! Give him a 2-3 yr deal pair him with BGE draft a young guy BEHIND them and use the top 3 on best players available.....

A season too late, unfortunately.

Brandon Joiner
maybe he can "steal" 13 sacks like he did in 2011?

He could also help 'lock down' the run.
