Malcom Brown profile

[augustisback003]

Looks like the secret is out on Malcom Brown. He's the one player I want the most in this year's draft and it now looks like he won't make to the 21st pick.

excerpt~

Texas' Malcom Brown is the top interior defender available in the 2015 NFL draft.

Forget Washington's Danny Shelton. Worry about Oklahoma's Jordan Phillips a little later in the first round. Florida State's Eddie Goldman doesn't quite fit the bill.

USC's Leonard Williams, of course, will have something to say about the previous assertion, but he almost falls into his own category as a talent that transcends scheme after primarily playing defensive end (or 5-technique) in the Trojans' system. He also owns enough natural athleticism to play end or tackle in the NFL.

Brown, though, was overlooked this past season because of the Longhorns' continued mediocrity on the gridiron. It wasn't hard to notice him when Texas games were viewed with a more critical eye.

The defensive tackle exhibits four key traits—size, athleticism, technique and production—that not only make him one of the top defensive line prospects but a potential top-10 pick too.

It doesn't matter.

Who are the worst players in the combine, and which ones have bust written all over them? Those are the players we are going to select this year like usual.

Last 10 First round picks:

Dennard -- Gunner
Eifert -- Medical marvel
Kirkpatrick -- Gunner
AJ Green -- Pro Bowler
Gresham -- Bum
Andre Smith -- Right tackle. Solid. Not wanted in FA last time he was up.
Keith Rivers -- Bum
Leon Hall -- Solid career
J-Joe -- Texan
David Pollack -- Solid announcer

So, I know you were probably trying to be sarcastic, but you're point isn't really ridiculous -- We haven't done as good a job in the first round as a lot of our fans like to believe.

I wasn't being sarcastic.

When did you become so glum? You're supposed to be the optimistic voice around here....... You and sometimes Kramer (if he's been drinking more than usual).

When I jumped off the Andy Dalton bandwagon. The day I decided we have no chance at anything ever again and the crest of the mountain is no longer in view.

 

[augustisback003]

Damn Crash, you sound suicidal. LOL!

It's sad for sure. My I agree with you my man. Who Dey!

Not suicidal, just resolved to what is in front of us.

remember when our default was to be enthusiastic about the potential the Bengals had to improve themselves in the offseason and how we were always hopeful that this was the year we finally might contend?

yea, me neither.

Don't get me wrong. We will probably still either win our division or squeak by to get a wildcard, but you as well as I know that is as good as it gets.

Fair point..... Cleveland sucks and will continue to suck. Pittsburgh is an incredible offensive team with a poor defense and no money. They're salary cap situation sucks and will continue to suck for a long time. A big injury or two on offense would probably sink them. Baltimore is a screwy team..... So good when Flacco plays well, but little evidence that he'll ever play consistently through an entire regular season. They seem to be a lock to have a record between 9-7 and 11-5.

Bottom line..... Not much to love in our division -- We could probably make another run at it, thus ensuring another one and done, another 2 years of Marvin, and at least one more year of Ginger.

At least we have the Reds.

 

[DanBengalfan]

There's always hope.

we always have a crappy veteran QB that won't intimidate Andy Dalton
(Where is the f'n logic in that?)

but, there's always some young whippersnapper 3rd string practice squad QB whose hungry and his wife wants to make babies. That sir.... is our hope, but 2 QBs need to get injured for us to come to that.

The Reds? You mean the team that gave $25 million a year to a guy best suited to bat second because he rather walk than try to drive a borderline pitch to the outfield to score a run? The team that traded away 4 good/decent players away for a pitcher who they decided to trade for much much less. The team who couldn't collectively hit themselves out of a paper bag? Where a .265 average could lead the team in batting average? The team about to trade their #1 pitcher away by the trading deadline because they will be out of it and will not be able to afford his salary, thus helping them lose their #3 pitcher because they spent too much with the guy they couldn't afford instead of focusing on what they could?

Yeah, they should be awesome.
