Mikes Bengals Mock (4 round)

[Mike]

Round 1 - Pick #9
Sedrick Ellis - DT - USC
He's the stud DT that the Bengals have needed for YEARS. Disruptive, penetrating DT.
Non-Playing note - The guy actually went back to school to get his degree when he was a sure fire 1st rounder last year.

Round 2 - #46
Dan Connor - LB - Penn State
All American LB, sure tackler, great instincts. Size (6'2" 231LB), and combine 40 (4.67) will cause him to slide out of the first round. Instant starter (unless Odell shows something in camp) and improves depth on a LB corp that was HORRIBLE last year.

Round 3 - #77
Zuttah - C - Rutgers
Most athletic center in the draft, some consider top center prospect in the draft. Need to add weight. Could start this year or next. Bengals have no good centers.

Round 3 - #97
Ray Rice - RB - Rutgers
Ran for nearly 5,000 yards and 50 TD in 3 years at rutgers. Plays bigger than his size (5' 8" 200lb) and willed rutgers to many wins. 4.4 speed. Could be third down back and develop into a starter. Rudi is old, slow, and injured. Perry and Irons are injured. Bengals seem to take two prospects from one school each year (Chad/TJ, Pollack/Thurman, Keift/Guichuic, etc), due to small scouting department (my opinion on the matter).

Round 4 - 112
Dexter Jackson - WR - Appalachian St
Small (5'9" 182LB), but explosive (4.3 40 speed) WR from divisionII. Guy becomes the starting PR/KR and may develop as a slot/3rd WR. Ask a Michigan fan about this guy.

Discuss.

THE BENGALS COULD USE EM ALL FOR SURE I THINK THE BENGALS HAVE ENOUGH SMALLER RUNNING BACKS WE NEED A HOSS FOR THIRD AND EIGHT (WICH WAS CONSIDERED 3RD AND SHORT LAST YEAR)

[geezer]

THAT WOULD BE NICE BUT IT'S A MOCK DRAFT IT WON'T EVER HAPPEN LIKE THAT. COME ON IT'S THE BENGALS WE ARE GOING TO PICK A QB.......LOL...... I HOPE THEY GET SOME GOOD PICKS.

[dawest]

sounds like Mike Brown should hire you Mike you seem to know more about scouting than our scouts do, then maybe you could get us some discount tickets..... ha ha

[BINKDUDE]

i dont think you will see rice or jackson that late! plus the one thing we dont know about is if someone gives us a defensive player and good draft choices chads butt is a potential gonnar! even though lewis has said he wont trade him, member everyone in this city is gonna boo him everytime he comes out including me and we have enough problems as it is, with knuckle heads in this city. lewis is just playing the game to see the best offer! i like to see some sort of trade to get taylor from the dolphins in a 3 way if possible, he just makes alot of money but worth it to bring in a new captain and a lot of takles in a position your hurting for!

[geezer]

JASON TAYLOR I THINK MIGHT BE OK BUT HE'S GETTING OLDER WE NEED SOME GOOD YOUNG STUDS.

[BINKDUDE]

well your right we need a lot of work , but for someone you can bring in and teach those young guys right off the bat and have a good leader for the next 3 years, it would be worth it. if they talked to washington they could end up with taylor and a pick dolphins washington 3 way

[geezer]

TRUE TRUE TRUE I WOULD LIVE WITH THAT.

[geezer]

WELL ANY THOUGHTS HERE....

[shovelfreak513]

if we get rid of chad i think we should get atleast 3 players, another reciever and 2 defensive players... maybe a free safety or cornerbacks....
