Randy Gregory

[futballiscool]

The Bengals brought him in for a pre-draft visit. If he's still on the board at 21 should they draft him?

I'm not sure where he'd play. He's too small to hold up regularly. He'd probably be just a 3rd down pass rusher. To be worth 21 in a 4-3, he'd have to be able to play LB and cover. Then move to DE on 3rd down.

 

[BKBroiler9000]

Bust. I'd pass.

 

[vancelot23]

There's some value in the late 1st, but only if I'm running a 3-4. He's so fast, but doesn't really have any counter moves if the speed doesn't work.

 

[BKBroiler9000]

Gregory is as obvious a bust as there is in this draft in my opinion. He needs a lot of work. He's another athlete trying to be a football player. He's tall and fast. That's about it. He's thin, can't defend the run, no pass rush moves. Couple that with the failed drug test and I'd have to say no thanks.

I don't even have him on my board.

 

[cincygrad]

But I don't have a board.

But I don't have a board.

The joke would have been funnier if you had omitted this post. FAIL

I don't even have him on my board.

Lol

When can we expect your long awaited mock draft?

 

[cincygrad]

Likely in two weeks. I kick Kramer's ass in this every year and that's why he's so pissy.

 

[Tubbs1518]

If he is on the board I'd run to the podium to take him so fast.

 

[vancelot23]

And do what with him?

 

[Tubbs1518]

And do what with him?

Situational pass rusher to start. I have no issue playing him at DE honestly. He can bulk up. He was up to 235 at one point. I'd play him at DE, blitz him from OLB, use him in as many ways as possible.

 

[vancelot23]

Meh. On running downs, he's a liability, and always will be in a 4-3. I'd rather pick a T

This is the Bengals lol. They will do none of those things. We'd be more likely to make him a safety. Call me when our last science project the discus player actually makes a play haha. Maybe he would be good in NE?

 

[BKBroiler9000]

What am I saying? We could use another Dontay Moch.

 

[cincygrad]

This just in.... Outside linebackers don't blitz in Marvin's defense. We borrowed one of the better pass rushers of the last decade (Harrison) for one season and made him a coverage linebacker.

 

[DanBengalfan]

Marvin loves project players who don't really contribute their first year and finally are able to do something during their contract year so he can ship them off to other teams because we can no longer afford them.

I guarantee this person becomes a Bengal unless by some miracle we trade up to draft help for Andrew Whitworth.

Some teams think Randy Gregory will slip to the late first round | ProFootballTalk


If he's there I'd roll the dice on him, even if it's just as a situational pass rusher his first year in the league. I've heard him compared to Jason Taylor as far as pass rushing traits and also as having a similar frame that will be able to add weight with time in an NFL gym.

 

[DanBengalfan]

he will be our best first round special teamer ever.
