NFL Network's Top 100

[augustisback003]

So far there's been 60 picks and not a single Bengal's name has been called. How is this possible? There's still a chance AJ and Geno will make the list but we call all be all but certain that Michael Johnson, Leon Hall and Jermaine Gresham will not hear their names called.

I think you're right, AJ and Geno will make it, the rest of the clowns on our roster are just ketchup and mustard. AJ and Geno are the hot dogs and hamburgers.

They should both be pretty far up the list. I'm not sure I'd put anybody else on it. Maybe Johnson since it was based on last season.

Wait... You think Gresham should be called?

Leon should be in the top 100. He doesn't get enough credit for his game. AJ and Geno will both be called.

Damn, what was I drinking when I wrote this? I meant to say, "There's still a chance AJ and Geno will make the list but we "can" all be certain that Michael Johnson, Leon Hall and Jermaine Gresham will not hear their names called."

If Pitta made the list then surely so should Gresham. You can't discredit the year he had solely on his poor performance in the Playoff loss he had in Houston. The whole team played poorly.

Hard to believe Pitta made that list.... He's a nice player, but I don't think he's one of the top 100 in the game.

I believe it's just the top 100 players of 2013, not in the game as a whole.

What's the difference? I don't expect that he will be a top 100 player of 2013.

Again, I'm not criticizing the kid -- In fact, I wanted the Bengals to sign him to an offer sheet. But if you just go by stats, Gresham is probably better and I'm sure not read to put him on the list.

 

[vancelot23]

The difference is, they were voting solely on the top 100 players of last year, with nothing to do at all with "best 100 in the NFL" overall. Pitta probably still wouldn't make my list, but it makes a little more sense with those guidelines.

Apparently Vernon Davis didn't make the list, but Pitta did. takes away any last shred of credibility..

I didn't look as closely, but that is absurd.

 

[augustisback003]

Geno Atkins was ranked 36th overall?! Are you freakin' kidding me!

 

[bengaldoug]

36th??? LOL. There are only a half dozen or so players I'd trade him for and almost all of them are quarterbacks, the exception being JJ Watt.

 

[cincygrad]

Ridiculous. This list gets worse every year they do it.

 

[DanBengalfan]

Marvin Lewis thinks that Bernard Scott got robbed!

 

[futballiscool]

Apparently Vernon Davis didn't make the list...

That was the general assumption because there were only 2 TEs left on the countdown, but Gronkowski, Graham, and Davis hadn't made the list. All three are amazing players, but Davis seemed like the odd man out..

He made the list...
so I guess it's Gronk or Graham..

that's a big shock

 

[augustisback003]

Justin Smith is ranked 29th. I always felt he would have been a better playing at LDE instead of on the right side where the Marvin Lewis had him playing. But I still have to ask the question, where the Hell was the production when he was a Bengals?!

The only position on this line Smith should have played was DT. He was never built for a 4-3 DE.
