I thought with a couple of the DE available they might go there but they didn't. They have a chance to get a good DE in rd two. I wouldn't be surprised RB in 2nd though.

I like the pick too, but at 188 pounds and a history of injury, it's a bit risky. But if Ross stays healthy, he'll torch a lot of CB's for years to come. He really doesn't have a weakness in his game.
Even though I was hoping DE Solomon Thomas would fall to the Bengals, there will be good DE's available in rounds 2 through 7. It's that deep at DE so grabbing one of the top WR's may play in the Bengals draft strategy favor.
I knew the Bengals wouldn't go DE or S in round one because they don't have the balls to bench DE Michael Johnson or S Shawn Williams. I realize that Williams is starting to show some promise, but when a team can bring in a game changer like Hooker, they should almost always do it.
On the flip side, the Bengals have neglected in bringing in a running mate for A.J. Green for years, so I'm glad they have addressed this need. Bringing in a pass rusher in round two is a no-brainer. There should be several really good ones available. If they neglect in bringing in DE Michael Johnson's replacement early on in this draft, all it will demonstrate once again is that the Bengals lack the guts to make tough calls when needed.

I wonder if the Bengals selection of WR John Ross was one of the factors in the Ravens selection of CB Marlon Humphey. Will the Steelers follow suit and also add a DB in round to counter Ross? The Steelers still have a shaky backfield.

I almost forgot, the Bengals may very well select RB Joe Mixon in round two and if they do I'm not complaining. His running style, size and speed is exactly what the Bengals need considering how shaky their o-line has played as of late. But the Bengals would be wise to part ways with Adam Jones and possibly Paul Dawson. The last thing the Bengals need is for Mixon to be influenced by either one of these guys.
The Bengals can then add (if available) DE's Tanoh Kpsaganon, Dawuane Smoot, Trey Hendrickson, Derek Rivers, and DeMarcus Walker in possibly round three. If the Bengals think Mixon will be available in round three, they could go with DE's Charles Harris, Jordan Willis or Tarrell Basham out of Ohio in round two.

I like the pick even if I fear injury by a 1st rounder yet again. But we saw the impact of M. Jones' departure. Plus you add this guy to Green and I think the whole D concept of merely teeing off on Dalton is over which in turn makes the Oline better if by default. Rush Dalton like he is the proverbial golf ball and we'll burn your ass! I like the idea 77 of getting a pass rusher too. Let's turn up the speed of the game on both sides of the ball. Let's hope we can find some able bodies to fill in some blanks and this ole boy might be caught staring off into a spring sunset with a twinkling in his eye because he's thinking about the Bengals! Well I won't get carried away with that!

I think the Bengals go RB here. I'd love to see FSU Cook fall to us but I got a feeling they'll take OU Mixon. If he's there. I'd book it. If both are gone then I could see a DE.

Adding troubled players to the roster is the last thing this team needs, but Joe Mixon in the exception. First of all, Mixon assaulted this girl years ago at the age of 18 and I think it was an act of passion and/or a jilted lover. I'm not excusing his actions. I have a daughter and if some guy did this to her. I would beat his ass. However, since his assault, he's been trouble free and I'm not including his argument he had with a meter maid.I think we've all been there. When you look at how poorly the Bengals o-line played last year, Mixon is the perfect fit.
Round two could also be the round in which the Bengals trade up to nab a pass rusher. Drafting Mixon in round two combined with the selection of a DE such as Malik McDowell, Tanoh Kpsaganon, Dawuane Smoot, Derek Rivers, DeMarcus Walker or Jordan Willis would be a nice haul. DE Trey Hendrickson can probably be nabbed in round three, maybe round four.

I think 2nd rd will be RB or ILB. I think that round two has Joe Mixon written all over it unless the Bengals know he'll be available in the later rounds. The ILB position is a possibility. Zach Cunningham and Raekwon McMillan are in play. But if the Bengals don't go with Mixon, I'm hoping they go with a DE/edge rusher. However, I'm starting to get the uneasy feeling that the Bengals plan on keeping Michael Johnson as a starting DE because he's a personal friend and/or they don't have the gonads to bench him or waive him outright in favor of a younger and better player. Unfortunately, this is how they operate. |

I think RB. Hill has not played up to his potential and Bernards injury its a need for sure. Couple other teams like Mixon so someone could jump in front of them.

Saw a comment today that just about fits. Said oh boy another WR for Dalton to under throw down field on first down. Then false start 2nd and 15. Run hill up the middle for 1. 3rd and 14. WR screen to Ross. He gets blowed up by a LBer. Season ending injury. That sounds about right and par for the course.

Now Mixon. In all seriousness could be two really good picks. But was there no good 0-lineman in the draft? All those OFF. weapons won't do much good with the QB laying on the ground.
