Notes from mini-camp

This is the 2nd article that I've read where George Iloka has been stated to have turned heads this Spring. And it looks like Tyler Eifert may have a larger role this year than expected because of Gresham's continued problems with drops. If Eifert is gaining Dalton's trust this early he may be in a for a huge year. And Cobi Hamilton just keeps impressing. He may be the steal of the draft!

excerpt~

Don't rule out George Iloka from the competition for the starting strong safety spot. A fifth-round pick from a year ago, Iloka is going to get a chance to win that job. Many assumed the Bengals would either go with Taylor Mays, rookie third-round pick Shawn Williams or Jeromy Miles. Iloka stands 6-foot-4, so he brings some length to that position.

You only have to watch Tuesday's practice to see why the Bengals used a first-round pick on a tight end. Gresham wasn't on the same page with Dalton all day. They even had a talk after one play where there was an obvious miscommunication. After Gresham dropped a pass over the middle, Dalton went to Eifert on the next play and the No. 21 overall pick caught it. Eifert passes the eyeball test. He is a massive target, and the Bengals haven't even put pads on.

Rookie sixth-round pick Cobi Hamilton can run. He got behind the defense two times, but backup Josh Johnson overthrew him.

can we freaking trade gresham? they were stupid enough to let him in the probowl, someone is probably arrogant enough to think they can turn him straight.
