For instance, look at the Bengals draft. I like what they did. Also I like the Giants and the Eagles drafts.

They're kicking ass and taking names!!!

Andre Smith
Rey Maualuga
Michael Johnson
Chase Coffman
Jonathan Luigs

All 5 of these guys are starting-caliber draftees.

Round 1, Pick 6 (6) Andre Smith OT 6'4" 332 Alabama

Pick Analysis:Marvin Lewis has stated that he wants to get back to running the football, and Smith gives the Bengals a dominating offensive tackle to run behind. Though he had a series of mishaps in the run up to the draft, there is no denying that Smith is one of the best tackle prospects in the draft.


Round 2, Pick 6 (38) Rey Maualuga ILB 6'2" 249 Southern Cal

Pick Analysis:After surprisingly dropping out of the first round, Maualuga lands with the Bengals at No. 38. The high-motor playmaker from USC gives Marvin Lewis a heavy hitter at middle linebacker. With last year's top pick (Keith Rivers) coming back from an injury, the Bengals have a pair of young and athletic linebackers to anchor the middle of the defense.


Round 3, Pick 6 (70) Michael Johnson DE 6'7" 266 Georgia Tech

Pick Analysis:The Bengals pick up an edge rusher with first-round talent with their selection of Johnson. A tall, rangy athlete with explosive quickness, Johnson has the ability to run down quarterbacks from the backside. Though he doesn't play with great effort at all times, he has the potential to be an impact player as a situational pass rusher.


Round 3, Pick 34 (98) (Compensatory selection) Chase Coffman TE 6'6" 244 Missouri

Pick Analysis:A foot injury prevented him from probably being drafted higher. He's an excellent receiving tight end, but he'll have to learn how to block. He has outstanding hands and will be one of those move-type tight ends. His father was an All-Pro tight end with the Packers. His coach at Missouri said Coffman is the one guy who will go to the NFL and be good right away.


Round 4, Pick 6 (106) Jonathan Luigs C 6'4" 301 Arkansas

Pick Analysis:Cincy needed a center and looked at all of them. The Bengals staff coached at the Senior Bowl saw Luigs quite a bit. He was a four-year starter and was the center of the year in 2007. Some people feel he tailed off, but he has made all the calls at the line. The question is, how is he going to handle the power nose tackles? He may have to hit the weight room a bit to handle the Ravens and Steelers defenses.
Round 5, Pick 6 (142)
Round 6, Pick 6 (179)
Round 6, Pick 36 (209) (Compensatory selection)
Round 7, Pick 6 (215)
Round 7, Pick 40 (249) (Compensatory selection)
Round 7, Pick 43 (252) (Compensatory selection)

Common Hamas. Succop so far has been better than that. But anyway, isn't it sad that the the highlight of our '09 draft is the last player chosen in the entire draft?

For a team like us, especially when the GM forces an immediate change in the defensive system, the first 3 rounds of picks must be starter material.

Damn, I hope this is not a pattern. We may be looking at a 2-14 season coming up.

None of those posts declare the Bengals as the outright winner of the draft, which is what the original charge was.

The physical attributes, speed namely, that the Raiders so prized in Heyward-Bey give him a higher ceiling. Crabtree seems maxed out, is slow, is a poor route-runner. Heyward-Bey has a better chance of busting than Crabtree but also a much better chance at becoming an elite player.

I agree Succop is one good kicker.

Sure. If you choose to look at it that way, then yeah it is miserable.
But what is the sense? It's done, it's over with. Nothing we can do about it, that draft is history. Can we just move on?

*Anyway, it's great to see we got a kicker. I've wanted one for years because I felt this franchise never had a really good one for a long time. Now we have one. Thank you lord.

Eh, Heyward Bey will never have a 1k season in his career.

I'd rather have Crabtree he played well with a shitty QB. You what they say if "I buy a lottery ticket I have the chance to be a millionare". Thats how I feel about Heyword-Bey he was a 2nd round talent not a first.

[The Bad Guy]

Yeah, I don't know why in the hell people would rather have Hey-Bey over Crabtree. Crabtree runs great routes, has better hands. The speed thing is overrated when you have stonehands.

At the end of the day, it really comes down to who is the more polished player? I'll take Crabtree 9x out of 10 over Heyward Bey.

Heyward Bey's speed is overemphasized because we all know Al Davis is infatuated by speed.

I agree with you, more or less. I personally wouldn't have touched either one until the second round.
