I know this seems crazy because the Bengals have a pretty big hole at 3 technique, their QB wants out, they are going to need a #1 WR and they just gave Jonathan Joseph a 1st and 3rd tender, but this guy is just too damned good to pass up.
I think Fairley will be good, but he worries me
Dareus doesn't really stand out
I don't know what to think of Newton
Jones wasn't a top 10 pick before the Combine
The Bengals don't need undersized edge rushers
There aren't any Eric Berry's available at SS this year (which is a damned vortex in this draft)
This kid is just the best player, period. He's a very, very rare talent.
The Cincinnati Bengals select Patrick Peterson, CB, LSU
Peterson gives them three quality CBs. If they are facing a base package, I think he's athletically gifted enough that they could use him similar to the way that the Packers use Woodson, but more than anything, I want him taking away half the field, and I want Hall and Joseph there to feast on the QBs need to put it elsewhere.
