[augustisback003]

Next Month when the Commissioner steps to the podium and announces the Bengal's pick, 24th overall, who's name would you most like to see called?

Doubtful (most likely to be off the board)
Darqueze Dennard CB 5'10⅞" 199 Michigan State ranked 16th overall
Calvin Pryor* S 5'11⅛" 207 Louisville ranked 17th overall
Justin Gilbert CB 6'0⅛" 202 Oklahoma State ranked 24th overall

Probable
Bradley Roby* CB 5'11¼" 194 Ohio State ranked 20th overall
Anthony Barr OLB/DE 6'4⅞" 255 UCLA ranked 27th overall
Kyle Fuller CB 5'11¾" 190 Virginia Tech ranked 28th overall
Ryan Shazier* OLB 6'1⅛" 237 Ohio State ranked 30th overall
Kony Ealy* DE 6'4" 273 Missouri ranked 31st overall

Dark Horse
Odell Beckham Jr.* WR 5'11¼" 198 LSU ranked 21st overall
Timmy Jernigan* DT 6'1⅝" 299 Florida State ranked 22nd overall
Marqise Lee* WR 5'11¾" 192 USC ranked 23rd overall

My top 5 would be the players listed below as I feel the ones on the doubtful list will all be off the board.

1. Kyle Fuller CB 5'11¾" 190 Virginia Tech
2. Anthony Barr OLB/DE 6'4⅞" 255 UCLA (as a RDE to replace Johnson)
3. Ryan Shazier* OLB 6'1⅛" 237 Ohio State
4. Bradley Roby* CB 5'11¼" 194 Ohio State
5. Kony Ealy* DE 6'4" 273 Missouri

I'd be thrilled with Fuller..... Would love Denard, but I think you're right and he'll be gone. Regardless, getting another young corner would be nice.

 

[DanBengalfan]

I'd say that's about right.

According to my inside source who works with the Bengals in a upper level capacity (Biff Vandelay), Kony Ealy is who the Brown family favors in this years draft.

DO IT

Hard to believe ckhokie would be supporting a Virginia Tech player on the SportsHoopla.

Didn't see that one coming.

In all seriousness, he may be a bit of a stretch at 24 (figured he would go 25-32 overall), but assuming Dennard is off the board, but he is a very good, consistent, and versatile player in a position of need. I would MUCH rather have him than Bradley Roby. Roby got burned way too much and he doesn't tackle as well as Fuller

I'd go for a 'safe' pick at corner.... After reaching for a project like Dre, it would be nice to have a guy that could come in and contribute right away.

The defense needs an immediate player at CB...there is no doubt about this. They have to draft a guy they feel can start right now.

since we like "blue collar" players I can see us trading away our #1 for more picks.

on the other hand, maybe we'll do a kijanacarter type trade and try to grab Clowney

you never know how much Mike Brown has to drink on any given day.
