Yeah 77 you mentioning him being like a vacuum cleaner on balls was the key virtue that drew me to this guy. All rookies struggle. Guys with bad hands stop getting targets fast. Doctson if drafted has the opportunity to produce now. Doctson is tall (6'4") and he used this height to out jump defenders quite regularly for the ball. He has great hands and ball instincts making tough catches look easy. Nobody in this draft is as good as Doctson when it comes to 'plucking' the ball as he demonstrated time and again by contorting his body to each and every pass. He made bad passes look like good passes. A big time threat that defenses will have to game plan for. Much higher ceiling than Jones or Sanu had when they first entered the league. Can he stay healthy? |

It's now being reported that the Bengals are interested in Ohio State WR Michael Thomas. Who knows what they'll end up doing?

It's now being reported that the Bengals are interested in Ohio State WR Michael Thomas. Who knows what they'll end up doing? He would be a really good choice. I would be ok with that. Even with Lafell they need 2 receivers. I still think they also need to make pass rush a priority. Thomas ran fast for his size, I was impressed. IMO the most polished receiver of the group. Coleman also well rounded.
77 just hypothetical here. What IF, Elliot RB is sitting there when we pick and is BPA? Do you take him and trade Hill? Hill has not lived up to expectations. His production has been down and has fumble issues. Interesting proposition. Just a conversation maker but it does make you go hmmm? They could trade Hill for a pass rusher or DB. I think at some point in the draft they do take a RB. With Hill sucking and Bernard a FA next season. May take one back end of draft.

That's a toughie. Personally, I would pass on Elliot and take a player at another position of need but I understand your thinking. Here's what the Bengals should do at RB in my humble opinion. Replace Hill with Gio as the teams starting TB. Bring Hill in off the bench as the team did during his rookie season and make him earn more playing time. Why Hue Jackson didn't make this move last year is beyond me. Gio was the teams best back this past season and it wasn't even close. Hill is young and he did run well in year one, so I think they should give him another shot. If he continues to struggle this coming season, they should look to next years draft in finding his replacement and that back could be from the same school as Hill, LSU. I love the idea of adding a pass rusher in round one and my next mock draft will probably reflect such with the selection of DE/OLB Noah Spence. The Bengals could still add a good WR such as Pharoh Cooper in round two who I know you're high on. They could then wait a round or two and draft either WR Keyarris Garrett of Tulsa or Kolby Listenbee of TCU. Listenbee is underrated with many scouts referring to him as a track/speed guy without much upside as a WR but I disagree. Listenbee is a big deep threat, but what really impresses me about his game is how he routinely battles DB's for the ball and comes down with it almost every time. Does use his body to make quite a few catches, but this isn't a terrible trait and it can be fixed. Underthrown quite a bit at TCU. Once he gets a professional QB (Dalton/McCarron) that can deliver the ball to him in stride, his game has the potential to explode and Listenbee becoming a draft day steal. Below is one of his highlight videos. www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZD-vX71On44 |

Could it really happen? WVU safety Karl Joseph is visiting with the Bengals. As many of you know, I really like this guy and would love to see the Bengals draft him. Link below. www.cincyjungle.com/2016/4/12/11415776/nfl-draft-2016-safety-karl-joseph-visiting-bengals-still-recoveringI had to dig deep to find this player but I think I found a really good one in Jakeem Grant of Texas Tech. Grant is another player I hope to see in stripes next fall via a late round draft pick or as a college free agent signing. Grant is very small but his speed, confidence, big play ability, return abilities, etc., warrant an opportunity to play in the NFL. The guy is nearly un-tacklable in the open field.

I think Bengals will go with BPA as usual. Unless Treadwell, Coleman or Doctson are there, I think they will pass on WR. Maybe hope Michael Thomas is there when they pick in rd 2 but doubtful.

Out of those three receivers, I have Doctson as my number one followed by Coleman and ending with Treadwell. Treadwell seems to the riskiest of the bunch. He doesn't have the best speed so he'll have to rely on his intangibles to be successful and I'm not for sure he'll be able to do it. In my opinion, Treadwell is a classis boom or bust pick. |
